7/26 Giants (Lowry) vs Cubs (Maddux) 7:05 PM WGN

[otis89]

Phil Rogers? No comment. :roll:

[Warren Brusstar]

They can't make it a day-night doubleheader because that means they'd have to make it up as a night game. The Cubs have a preset number of night games per year.

 

Huh? If it was rescheduled as the "night" part of a day night doubleheader, the Cubs would be replacing a night game (tonight) with a night game (the make-up). How would that affect the number of night games?

 

Show me where the Cubs have another night game against the Giants.

 

I don't think you're following what I'm saying. Hypothetically, let's say the Cubs have a limit of 24 night games. (I say "hypothetically" only because I don't know the precise limit) Further, let's assume that the Cubs have exactly 24 night games on their schedule.

 

If tonight's game was rained out, it would be removed from the schedule. So, there would be 23 night games on the schedule. Accordingly, the Cubs could make the game up tomorrow night (as past of a day-night doubleheader) without exceeding the limit on night games.

 

If a DAY game is rained out, the Cubs are unable to make it up at night.

 

I do get what you're saying. What I'm saying is that i know the city of Chicago approves the night game list months before the season starts, and I don't think they allow making up of night games on nights where there's no scheduled night game.

 

The limit, by the way, is 30. The Cubs also scheduled a pair of Jimmy Buffett concerts, one of which is at night, which the city is tremendously unhappy about. The city of Chicago has already punished the Cubs for scheduling Buffett by taking away one of their night games for next year, so they will only be able to have 29. Also the Cubs have already agreed that they will not have any more concerts next year.

 

As I am sure that the Cubs would have to go through the city in order to reschedule this game at night, I think making a night game, especially tomorrow night, is out of the question. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

 

I have no knowledge regarding whether the city has to approve the precise dates of Cub night games. If so, that would preclude the Cubs from making it up tomorrow night.

 

But, that has no relation to the limited "number" of night games that the Cubs have, which is the purported justification in your first post. So, while you may be right (I don't know one way or the other), it's not for the reason you stated.

[Careless]

I have fantastic seats to this game and am sitting 2 blocks from wrigley AND IT WON'T STOP RAINING

[MembersOnlyJacket]

I hate to bring the bad news, if you haven't been watching the Red Sox game tonight. Matt Clement was just hit in the head by a line drive off Carl Crawford's bat. He hasn't moved in over 10 minutes and is being stabilized and is soon to leave the field in an ambulance.

[Blueheart05]

dont forget Bob

wow does anyone wanna punch Phil Rogers right now, how he just overrided himself by saying that Barry Bonds's best years equate to MVPs without carrying his team to the playoffs, but Lee is still in a position to take the triple crown, AND carry his team to the playoffs, and he doesnt get the benefit of the doubt?

bullcrap phil, u are an idiot

 

Yes, I do!

Yeah, the first one was phrased wrong, now that i look at it. it should have read "the Cubs have a preset home night game schedule every year."

 

Anyway, the bottom line here is that Daley is an idiot Sox fan.

Does any non-Weather Channel tv station have a more thorough weather report than WGN? Is it possible to dislike Tom Skilling?

Well, only if you hold a grudge against his brother.

 

Who's his brother? How could anyone ever dislike Tom Skilling? :wink:

Are you serious? I have to turn that on!

Are you serious? Wow. That's what I get for living in Minneapolis. Makes me wonder if I should really have trusted all those weather reports.

 

That's bad news about Clement!

[Blueheart05]

Phil Rogers is making me angry! :x :x

tom skilling is almost too thorough, also i think he's gay (literally)

 

just wanted to add that phil rogers = lol

 

also he's a huge idiot for wanting pujols over lee... kasper is dropping some science, god he's amazing

 

When was younger I used to get annoyed with WGN's weather thoroughness - always made me wait so long until the sports segment started. Now I like it - he gives you the friggin weather in Siberia practically (Tom's forecast: cold). Great graphics too.

 

Tom gay? It's possible, but he could just be a really nice, mellow guy. Is it rule all tv weathermen must be bald?

 

LOL, nice shirt Rogers. Off to Hawaii after the game?

[XZero771679666304]

Phil Rogers knows nothing. He sounds like a casual fan. :lol:

[ZZ Thorn]

I certainly side with Nevin - he has rights as a worker. A lot of people turn down moves offered by their work.

Huff just hit a grand slam in Tampa Bay to tie that Boston score at 5.

Where do you get your info? It probably will be a straight DH tomorrow, but the info you are saying is just plain wrong. The city is happy to have Buffet, they need the money. You must be hearing this stuff from Charlotte Newfeld, not your alderman. The city agreed to night games and they agreement of when they are scheduled or re-scheduled have to fall under the master agreement, not day to day.

I read on CBS sportsline that the White Sox are trying to get Huff.

It looks like he's going on his typical second half terror. His power is back this month after being gone when he was ineffective/injured earlier. I wouldn't complain if the Cubs snagged him now, I was beginning to have doubts.

Yes, I've read that too. The Cubs were also rumored to be hot after him before the whole Adam Dunn/Austin Kearns talk started.

[Flames24Rulz]

oh man, prayers go out to Clement. I hope he doesn't come out of this with a serious injury :(

 

and did Phil Rogers say the Orioles were in first place? where's he been the last month or so?

[Blueheart05]

Oswalt is pitching with a 1-0 lead in Houston. Biggio lead off the game with a homer. Roy must have his good stuff so far because Abreu leadoff the next inning with a triple and never scored. :shock: :roll:
