7/22 Cubs (Zambrano) at Cardinals (Carpenter), 7:10 pm, WGN

[Roast]

I'm so looking forward to this game. Don't let me down, Cubs.

 

Me too. Even though I'm not going too it.

 

I have TKD at 5:45. I'll get back just in time to watch the game.

[Mizzou]

Man I LOVE it when the Cubs and Cards get together. This is the greatest rivalry in baseball!

Don't tell that to ESPN. :roll:

I'm not certain that ESPN even knows there's a rivalry. Maybe somebody should inform them...

i'm not going to get to watch or listen to the game at all :( .....but i do get to see my girlfriend tonite so that's cool.

And now we know why you won't get to watch or listen to the game.

She's not a fan? If I were going on a date tonight he would know to make sure there's a television around. Perhaps a resturant with a sportsbar/entertainment vibe like Dave & Buster's or ESPN Zone is in order? Just a thought.

I can tell you from experience that watching the game on the TV instead of paying attention to the lady friend is a bad move.

[wekse]

it's not that she's not a fan, but i'll be on the road to illinois with no way to keep track of what's going on.

Yes, in most cases that's true but if both people enjoy the sport it can be a fun date.

A true CUBS fan would have equiped his vehicle with XM radio as a contingency plan for just such circumstances as these, no? :wink:

[genghiskhan]

Carlos Zambrano usually has St. Louis's number, the July 19 matchup in Wrigley last year being a notable exception. But then again, Chris Carpenter has been the best pitcher in baseball over June and July. Cards probably need to make Z throw a lot of pitches and keep it close until they can get into the Cub bullpen.

Well... here's hoping you'll be able to pick up WGN or KMOX after the sun goes down, and at least catch the last half of the game !!

KMOX is a greater possibility considering the part of the country i'll be in

You might also try 880 A.M. Its a church channel in southern Illinois that broadcasts the WGN signal for Cubs games.

Or Z can go 8 innings and Dempster can finish it off, right?

[Mizzou]

Zambrano shut these same Cardinals down back on April 20th. Let's hope that he does the same tonight. Go Cubs!!!

 

Yeah...I was there...we happened to lose Nomar that day too.

:( :(

 

Yeah, so was I. Good thing Dusty wont have the option of bringing in LaTroy with the tying run at the plate like he did that night.

So he has one bad outing, in a non save situation, and its unforgivable?

Bush was just big enough to hold that ball. As I recall, Corey caught Mabry's long fly right against the wall to end the game. I almost had a heart attack :x :roll:

Agreed! I still have faith in Dempster. Yesterday was an abberration.
