Bring on the 9-game-in-1-day-cumulative baseball series!

Len: Hey Kyle, what do you think of that homer

 

Schwarber:*looks at feet, mumbles, nervously murders a baseball*

Nice bounce back from the Hamels no-hitter for me

get your act together, sneakypower

It's his impression of Arrieta on the mound.

Is WGN the only station now that plays Go Cubs Go after wins?

 

Err it plays over the loud speakers at Wrigley.

Yes, that's true. Also, I'm asking if WGN is the only station that still plays it after wins. Don't be an idiot.

I'm pretty sure CSN still plays it

They play it just as much as the other stations do being that you can't really mute what's coming out of the speakers

You're asking if the other stations selectively mute out the music being played in the stadium after a win?

[Guest]

They could just turn off the field microphones.

I think he's asking if the other networks play the stadium feed of Go Cubs Go after wins. Once the game ends and Len/JD stop talking they pipe in the stadium feed of the song so it sounds louder on TV

I could only think of them doing that if they were showing a montage of the game highlights or the like. You can hear it fine on Comcast broadcasts, and ESPN doesn't seem to cut it out; you can typically hear it loud and clear even when they cut back to the booth for the wrap-up.

WGN plays the song on their end, trying to synch it up with the stadium feed. I do not believe any of the others do that anymore. I believe CSN used to do that.

Now I want the post-game interview done with just intense Schwarber-like staring and complete silence.

Maddon said he took Russell out to keep La Stella's bat in the lineup, which is good because Russell is fine and bad because if Joe thinks Russell is inferior to La Stella in any aspect of baseball he might be clinically insane

I can see him thinking a lefty would have a better shot against DeScalfani and Cincy's entirely RH pen.

did you doubt how amazing kazmir has been?

[Guest]

also why does nsbb appear to have a cbs logo tied to it

 

edit - NM that's probably a cbs nsbb fantasy baseball league

[ctcf]

You ok? You get a virus or something?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Rodney, Motte, and Soriano are a combined 11-1.

 

Would be quite the trio if it were 2012.

[Guest]

So how'd Javy look to you guys on TV?

 

I didn't notice much of a leg kick on his two strike swings... forgot to look for it earlier in the count. First AB I actually saw on one of the monitors in the concourse and he seemed to swing out of his shoes, but IIRC he made pretty decent contact on a couple of balls later in the game.

[imb]

His stance was super closed, he looked like anti Andre dawson

[Sammy Sofa]

I want to know what membership that e-mail is about.
