8/18 Tigers (Sanchez) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 PM ABC7/MLBN

[BigSlick]

Fowler, even when he makes it in safe, has looked so ungainly and awkward on the base paths

[Fred Hornkohl]

Who's doing the radio broadcast tonight ?

[Banedon]

Is the TV signal fucked up for anyone else? Local simulcast channel shows commercials fine but the game is frozen and jacked.

[Sammys Boombox]

this game is really pissing me off already :\

 

Same

[Guest]

So basically we have 2 good starters and then we pray we get 2 decent starts out of the next 3

Yes other teams have solid starters 1-5. That's why this one of the best rotations in baseball

[Smack]

So Fowler should be on third. That sucks.

[Banedon]

Just got a DirecTV service interruption message....sigh. Other channels are fine.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol at Schwarber... you can't reach over the basket, it's not humanly possible.

 

Hahaha idiot

 

In Cleveland, there's a long ledge in front of the OF wall that prevents people from reaching onto the field to interfere with a homer. I don't think it's a stretch to assume the Wrigley baskets were designed similarly.

[TruffleShuffle]

Does rondon fan realize there are still like six weeks left before we have to deem hammel unusable for a playoff game?

 

What's the point of saying that?

 

i'm impressed at how consistently wrong he is, yet he continues to passionately believe in his opinions.

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's one !!

[DiamondMind]

If we hit a bunch of warning track fly outs tonight....they're gonna actually go out. Wind is howling to LF

[BrockLanders]

It's almost like we should stop running into outs so often.

[Schwarber Fan]

Coghlan is so good when he's hot.

[Sammy Sofa]

Looks like these fools brought a homer to a dong fight.

 

Cubs gonna win this [expletive] something insane, like 14-5.

[Gilby]

Bryant and/or Soler are hitting one off the scoreboard tonight.

[Guest]

yay we got a home run

[Guest]

my 18 month old out of warranty plasma went busto this weekend so i might just go to a bar to watch this/eat.

 

oh and damn everybody for no longer making plasmas. i can't stand lcd pictures. hopefully i can just fix this TV.

 

Why don't you just go to the game

 

Novel concept,I know, but I sold them

 

All this snark is fun. So are dingers! YAY COGS

[BigSlick]

Well this might be an entertaining game before it gets rained out at least

[Sammy Sofa]

Lol at Schwarber... you can't reach over the basket, it's not humanly possible.

 

Hahaha idiot

 

In Cleveland, there's a long ledge in front of the OF wall that prevents people from reaching onto the field to interfere with a homer. I don't think it's a stretch to assume the Wrigley baskets were designed similarly.

 

So because one stadium is designed one way you assume Wrigley is designed the same way.

 

Do you just assume Wrigley has a hill in CF, too? And a gigantic green wall in LF?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-7 (.781) when they score in the first inning.... 42-42 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

I think that's the third time Fowler has been thrown out just like that this season. It's getting really old.

 

i know it's probably a player's instinct to run when there's an overthrow, but they have to know that the foul ground behind first base is tiny at wrigley.

[DiamondMind]

Bryant and/or Soler are hitting one off the scoreboard tonight.

 

yyaaassssss

[Splendid Splinter]

Bryant and/or Soler are hitting one off over the scoreboard tonight.

 

Fixed.

[DiamondMind]

umpires

[TruffleShuffle]

if you count the first pitch (also a ball called a strike), rizzo should have walked there.
