I'm using it for free, and it's working fine for me. Since I have paid for this... wtf!?!? Gameday Audio is probably the best bargain in sports what is it like a third of the NFL audio package?

Des Moines will be a nice town for him

You know oddly enough I have gameday audio but when I started it up tonight it ran a video promo for someone and now has a screen display on it like window media player - never seen it do that before. Wonder if mlb made some changes.

Dave Otto is a freaking Jenius :lol:

I just love it when Pat comes on and says "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!". Where is Ronnie tonight - Otto sitting in for him.

Just say no

Somehow, I have a feeling that Marquis and his 3/21 contract are going to be about as easy as Jocque's contract to move out of town, especially if eating all but the league minimum isn't really an option. I'm not holding out any hope that Marquis would be replaced, but I think he's going to be a drag on this team from this point forward. I wonder if Shawn Estes is available??? :)

They just led the Sportscenter intro with his call also

My "Believe" bracelet is still laying on my dresser - wonder if I should break it out? Nah........................

Pat and Ron's call makes my eyes all misty - i was driving down the highway all by myself listening on XM when it happened. I was honking my horn and pounding on my steering wheel - I'm sure people thought I was nuts but who cares!!

Even if you aren't confident, I think you have to keep giving DeRosa a shot. He's cooled off, but he's still getting on base. Yes he is and I'm never one to abandon a good source of OBP. But I'd like to see if Cedeno can actually play the SS position at the ML level and not be a total 0 with the bat. And Fontenot has played well enough to get a long look at 2B. But I guess I don't really care which of those two (Fontenot and DeRosa) gets the starts - I'm less concerned about finding a decent 2B than SS. The only point I'd make about DeRosa's OBP is he's hitting in front of guys like Pagan, Hill, Bowen, Pie and the pitcher in most of his ABs. I'm not terribly surprised that he's finding it pretty easy to patiently wait for a decent pitch and walk if he doesn't get one. His AVG is still solid at .275 and it's not like he has a huge walk total, but it's not a huge leap of faith to think either Theriot or Fontenot can match that OBP at 2B. And, I guess I'd like some pop at the 5/6 spot where he's been hitting. While his OBP has held pretty firm in the .340-.360 range most of the year, his SLG has been in a slow steady decline since the end of April. It's not like he has no power at all, but his XBH appear to fewer and farther between as the season goes on (he has 4 total in June: 3 doubles, 1 HR). He's a fine player and his overall #s still look pretty good, but I don't think he's a guy we have to have in the lineup. If Fontenot can basically match the .350 OBP and hit in the 2 spot, I'd call up Cedeno just to see if we can get more than a .600 OPS out of the SS position without trading for one. Edit to add: I'm in no way saying Cedeno is that source of pop. If Lee, ARam and Floyd hit 3, 4, 5, maybe DeRosa is the only source of any power and has to hit 6th. Again, I'm not that concerned about who plays 2B this year - I don't see that choice impacting our win total a great deal. But if we can give Cedeno 3 months to see if he can be a decent SS at this level, and the cost is ABs for 2 of Theriot, Fontenot or DeRosa...meh. How do you feel about Paul McCartney as a source of pop??

Sorry Wayne. I thought it was pretty obvious I was joking. They are allowed. I relized that after my second post. I don't get to see cubs games on TV unless they are nationally televised. And I guess I had never paid much attention to the flashes before. I'll be at the game Saturday and want to bring my camera to get some good shots... Yeah, just think of all those flashes when Sammy would take a swing in 1998. There were a few during the 03 playoffs too. I was there for a 3 game Cubs-Cardinals series in 98 and neither Sammy nor Mark hit a homer but one of the games was a night game and the number of flashes was incredible.

Have the Rockies mistaken Cliffy for Barry Bonds?

Personally I think BP is a much better nickname for Scott Eyre than for Petrick :wink:

Joe Morgan........................... :wink:

Corey Hart just tied the brewers game :cry:

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Been a while since I heard teh word dad gummed in a broadcast

Ummmmmmmmmmm................ he is a dumb redneck

Hawk.....................funny stuff :D :D :D

Bump :D

Anybody think that Ozzie might go totally crazy and end up getting fired any day now?

Oh man the Shooter has passed on.......................wow that gives me chills. Too bad.

Hit one hard Rami so you don't have to run!!

I wonder if the national analysts/commentators will stop talking about what a waste it was for the Cubs to pay him 136 million to play this year
