8/19 - another game - right now - marquee
Andy replied to Brian's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
No one answered this, but Len was definitely saying "lie" last year. I remember because I had always assumed it was "lay". In my experience Len is pretty much always on it when it comes to pronunciation - to this day he's the only broadcaster I know of that knew our 2017 trade deadline pickup was pronounced AH-vil-uh - so I'm going with him on this. -
The only surprising part about this is that the slur he used wasn't a racist one.
-
Honestly it really wasn't even that surprising. His pitch to K Fowler was a thing of beauty.
-
Ian Happ is legit an elite hitter this year.
-
It's typical 'rich jackasses not remotely knowing what people who only make five figures care about' syndrome. (I'm assuming Sinclair people as the rich jackasses here since the Ricketts never seemed to care what Len and JD wore before, but who knows.) They watched a couple of Fox games and saw Joe Buck wearing a suit, so they figured if Len and JD wear suits everyone will think they see Marquee as a super important endeavor rather than an easy cash infusion.

Open letter to Jayce Tingler (I'm writing off the Rangers because whiny bitching and moaning from the other end of the 'unwritten rule' violation apparently will never end): If you don't want your superstar player to hit a grand slam when you're already up big, take him out of the game and sub in some horsefeathering scrub that won't hit a grand slam. And kindly shut the horsefeathers up and never open your fat yap about this topic again. Thank you.

As Stew Mandel put it, that's definitely the "eh, if we have to cancel this week, I'm sure we'll get over it" week.
-
Ended up being cash. Insert PTR joke here.

MLB Imposes 60 Game Season, Spring Training 2.0 Starts in 7 Days
Andy replied to Cubswin11's topic in General Baseball Talk
They haven't released the schedule, but assuming there is a playoffs, yes, you should assume the entire week will be packed with games, probably Tuesday-Thursday. -
I don't know where to put this, but apparently Mark Grace is going to be suspended from Marquee for this week for his rambling ex-wife rant on Saturday, which is about a thousand weeks too few to be rid of his drunk ass.
-
The way KB is going it almost certainly didn't matter.
-
This damn ump can stop giving Hader extra strikes any time now
-
That was probably the only really dumb thing. He was thinking hit and run on 3-2 but Willy is prone to strikeouts and Rizzo is a dead duck if he Ks, so nothing made sense about that.
-
If David Phelps was this absurdly dominant as a Cub I must have missed it.
-
Why in the world was Rizzo running on that pitch?
-
I am ready for the hot streak Bryant is due to have because he is absolutely useless right now.
-
He was just called up today because Chatwood went on the injured list.
-
Christ
-
Only took them 3 games to show up in that series
-
I'm long past done with this Orlando Arcia [expletive].

8/14 Cubs (Mills) vs Brewers (Woodruff) 7:05 Marquee/MLBN
Andy replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Lose by 1 in a game where the Brewers scored a run in the most spectacularly BS inning of successfully weak contact I've seen in many moons. Oh well, it's not the worst thing that it took until game 17 to lose in a fairly infuriating fashion. -
-
Is this good? This seems good. Here's to Tyler Chatwood being the badass he was his first 2 starts and less so the guy in start #3. Go Cubs Go.

8/13 Cubs (Darvish) vs Brewers (Anderson) 6:15 FOX

A battle of the two 2018 pitcher signings who sucked for us that year. The difference is one is actually good and the other sucks. Let's make sure that bears out in this game.
