Mizzou

Care to share that secret with the rest of us? Sure. Thanks to the poster who originally PMed this to me... LINK You'll need TVANTS, a video streaming program. The reason they PMd it was probably because they don't want it out in public. I'd edit and PM those who were looking for it. I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I'll edit my post just to be safe.

There's a pretty significant delay in the program that I mentioned, so you probably wanna avoid the game thread unless you don't mind knowing what's going to happen.

Go Cubs

I took my first lesson this morning. Never played golf in my life. My entire office is having an outing Monday, then two weeks after that we're having another outing, followed by a client tournament about a month from now. I need to learn, and I need to learn quickly!

Nice, I'm watching the game on my computer for free. F you, Direct Innings/Fox/MLB!

Are there any not-so-legal ways to watch this game over the internet for those of us who are outside of Chicago?

Murton also made 4 outs, two of which came with 2 runners on base. I hope he does great out there though, I've always thought he deserved better than what he had here.

Only the gray boxes are blacked out. You're good to go. Then why isn't the game available on Extra Innings?

Jason Marquis is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people on this forum make him out to be, and his numbers clearly show that. The thing is, for every start like the one today, it seems like he has a terrible start to match it. He's really good for a 2-3 starts, then really bad for 2-3 starts. And I guess the bad starts stand out more than the good ones. Someone can take the time to find out and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd be pretty surprised if he's not the best 5th starter in baseball.

I've been asking this all week and I think the consensus is that no one knows. All year it has been the 3:55 (EST) games that FOX has blacked out. Tomorrow's game was supposed to be 3:55(EST), but got moved to 1:00 eastern. But, ESPN projected schedule still lists the cubs game as a FOX broadcast, which makes no sense. I'm thinking that they forgot to remove the FOX tag when they changed the time and it will be available tomorrow. Note: I'm talking about availability to mlb.tv, I don't have EI, but I would imagine if it's not blacked out on mlb.tv then it's not on EI either. If it starts at noon, then I don't think it falls in the blackout time frame. I could be wrong on that though. I'll look on my cable guide when I get home to see if it's listed on there tomorrow. I don't know about that. I seem to remember a couple early Saturday starts this year that have been blacked out so FOX can show a 3pm game. I'm betting us out-of-towners are S.O.L. tomorrow, which of course sucks. FOX's national contract is a steaming pile of cow dung. Well, it's not listed on my cable guide. Which means that the out of town viewers are effed. It's so stupid. I can't watch the Cubs game at noon because Fox wants me to watch their game, and only their game... at three. I could almost understand if the Cubs game were on at the same time. But it's three freakin hours earlier!

So is tomorrow's game going to be available outside of Chicago, or no?

Pat Burrell should be starting this game. It's a load of crap that he's not even on the roster.

I hope the media rakes him over the coals on this tonight. Absolutely inexcusable. Jesus, get a grip.

Ramirez's voice always cracks me up.

Yeah, how dare he expect Marmol to throw 35 pitches in the last week! His arm is going to fall off throwing so many pitches!!! Is he the only one allowed to pitch out of the pen on the team? I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be in the game right now. Up 4 runs, you probably wanna get someone else some work. But the hyperbole in this thread is just absurd. People make it sound like he's thrown 30 pitches the last three nights.

Enough already about the Marmol bitching. He threw 9 pitches yesterday and 10 on Sunday. I think he's going to be okay.

Lots of boos for KPat.

It's really not a big deal to let him run the bases. It's a COMPLETELY unneccessary risk. There is a chance he hurts himself running the bases. If you take him out, there is no chance. There is nothing to gain by leaving him in, but there is everything to lose. And now he's bringing in Marmol again. Lou, you're an idiot. I really think you're overreacting. Yes, there's a chance. There's also a chance he trips and falls down the clubhouse stairs. It's not a big deal.

Freaking Cards just tied it.

It's only 6 at bats though.

2-1 Phillies. Sac fly by Pujols.

Take away one pitch, and Zambrano has a perfect game tonight.
