Hmmm, I have an evil (lol) capitalist thought! Perhaps, WGN/the Cubs sold higher advertising for this game because of Maddux's pending record setting game? Maybe that explains all the live coverage from the ball park tonight.

 

Just a thought...

 

It's possible. But also the Royals game is also in a Rain Delay, and they're doing the "Rain Delay" promo as well, so it could be possible that the Cubs and Royals really want to get those games in, if necessarly. I'm sure the Giants and Cubs would rather not play a double-header, given the fact that they'll have to fly to Milwaukee.

 

Edited: It stopped raining in KC, and the game is almost underway, so hopefully the same in Chicago as well.

 

What do you think the attendance will be in KC after a long rain delay? About 16?

I hope there is a game for my own selfish reasons tonight... but with the soaked outfield, won't that really enhance the opportunities for injuries to be sustained?? Edited by CubsHawks25

Man, some of them was so sad yet embarrasing.

 

Where is the Mongo arguement to the ump at? That one is a classic.

 

 

that was one of the best things i've ever seen. McMichael did what we all want to do to the nice guys in blue. :twisted:

I expressed my slight apprehension about the conditions... no need to be a real sarcastic jackarse about it. :x

I can't speak for the Royals but the Cubs do not usually continue with live or semi live coverage during rain delays. Something must be up. My suspicious mind is on overload. lol, I wonder if tomorrow's game is suppose to be on CSN?

Top of the 9th in Atlanta. Nats up 2-1.

 

Call me evil but I'd be happy if neither the Braves nor Nationals made the playoffs. LOL, the Cubs and Phillies sound good to me. Definitely no Astros!

That was such a childish thing for McMichael to do, it made me really dislike him.

Yes, they have a 1:20 game scheduled for tomorrow.

 

Uh oh, Cordero is on the ropes in the bottom of the 9th in ATL. 2 on and no out. I spell a blown save!

 

Edit: The game is tied with one out and a man on first. Actually, now there are 2 outs with a man caught stealing moments ago.

Well, they know the night is shot to hell if they go to Fresh Prince. At least they can hold onto us diehards this way.

 

It's much smoother these days ... but I do miss the '84 highlight reel.

My apologies. That's the way it came across. Hard to distinguish such things on message boards. :oops:
