9/29 Cubs (Haren) @ Reds (Smith), 6:10, CSN

[ScrubMD]

We're going to strike out 20 times and win 13-0.

[crazycooter]

Don't know about their radio feed, but earlier on the Reds TV broadcast the color analyst (Jeff Brantley? I think they rotate different guys in there.) said that the Cubs were too far behind the Pirates to have any realistic chance at catching them. He said, definitively, that the Cubs would be playing the WC game in PNC. Then, literally the very next thing he said was that the Giants have a chance to catch the Dodgers because "crazier things have happened."

Likewise. It's gonna be tough going from them to the ESPN and TBS crews of the world.

What in the [expletive] was that ump?

[NotSoSober]

i don't really care at this point, but holy [expletive] was that a horrific call

[Gilby]

It's not going to be whiffing with RISP, it's going to be the umping that causes me to have a breakdown next week. Like I might seriously lose it.

[Fred Hornkohl]
