  1. Is anyone else having audio issues with WGN HD? There is some sort of annoying feedback on their 5.1 broadcast, but if I switch over to the SD channel it sounds fine.
  2. I heard a quote from DeRosa recently where he said that he has probably only talked to Zambrano twice since he has been here. Maybe Zambrano is slightly more isolated/cliquey than most, but I agree that we can't expect everyone to be friends and get along at all times.
  3. What are the chances of getting this game in tomorrow night? The forecast shows a 30% or greater chance of rain all day in the Cincinnati area. It would suck if the game gets rained out and rescheduled as part of a double-header on Saturday, since that is the only game I don't have tickets for.
  4. In the past, hasn't that been a sign of shoulder soreness?
  5. And my predicted inning for the 90210 pre-emption!
  6. Not officially, but it could be like in RBI Baseball where I would always try to turn double plays with 2 outs even though I didn't need to.
  7. Whatever happens here, please get a run in before we end up with Lee and the bases loaded.
  8. Based on the stats I've seen, he must be hitting like .600
  9. He's no Ty Griffin, that's for sure.
  10. WGN might as well continue to play the 90210 theme music in the background for the entire game.
  11. I liked Marmol trying to appeal to the 1st base umpire on a left handed batter's check swing.
  12. At this point, would it really be a rash decision if Lee were benched for a few games to see what Hoffpauir can do? Lee has really been a liability in the #3 spot with his complete lack of power and tendency to ground into double plays. Could Hoffpauir be any worse?
  13. It's going to suck when they interrupt the 11th inning to cut to the 90210 premiere.
  14. If the Cubs can take the lead, it's too bad Howry can't get the win.
  15. The way the Brewers are playing, I don't think 15-5 is out of the question at all.
  16. I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but I just heard Lou's post-game press conference and he said that Harden most likely wouldn't pitch again until the St. Louis series. Does anyone know whether he is having arm problems or is this just a pro-active skipped start to try to keep him strong down the stretch?
  17. I thought so, but who knows... the strike zone has been wacky all series on both sides. Pitches right down the middle are being called balls and pitches at the ankles are strikes.
  18. Bring it back!!! It's just not the same with the Cubs running out on the field to "Runnin' Down a Dream" or "It's a Beautiful Day."
  19. Speaking of Cincinnati, has anyone ever been to a place across the river called JB Fins? I'm headed to Cincinnati next weekend and thinking about checking out a band there after Friday's game, Doc Brown and the Jiggawatts... With a name like that, how could they not be awesome?
  20. I only caught a portion of this today on The Score, with Matt Abbatacola filling in for Boers, but Matt said that he has a reliable source who indicated that a big part of Zambrano's struggles this year have been due to his lack of commitment to keeping himself in shape. There was some mention of a back problem and not doing all the necessary exercises to stay in top condition. I have no idea how reliable this "reliable source" is, but I don't think it is completely out of the question. Did anyone else catch the whole segment?
  21. What's the deal with Len's "inning mangement" comments? Did I miss the joke?
  22. Come on Marmol. Hold them at 8 so we don't have to use Wood.
  23. Nice, double for Fontenot. 14-8. Howry time?
