Go here and download the tvants player and install.
Then go here:

and click on the TVAnts link. On Firefox it asks you if you want to launch to app, click yes and wait for buffering.
The signal appears to be dependent on who is providing. Tonight, the signal provided appears to be MLB.TV. You have to put up with the Chinese ads but the signal I’m watching right now isn’t horrible. It’s about 3-5 minutes behind.

If you have a guy that CAN bunt...
...you should do it every so often to keep defenses honest against you and open up some holes in the infield. With nobody on ahead of you, it’s not a bad idea.
SACRIFICE bunting is often a tool of evil, but bunting for a base hit is a powerful weapon when used sparingly.

The sacrifice can be the correct choice...

Great play by Cabrera,
but for a guy who’s supposed to be a speed merchant, Gomez didn’t seem to get down the line too quickly.

He's been hitting like his dad lately,
so he decided to switch it up. He was on the radio today talking about it.

no, that's what I'm talking about.
I don’t watch the White Sox. Ever. Except this is a history game, if the pitcher makes it, so…
these announcers are TERRIBLE.

Gammons is repeating on ESPN that the Cubs are still looking for a LH OF
he even mentioned a name like Brian Giles..

Barry!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Bonds!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
(Now, do I really want Barry Bonds? Not so much. But I want him a heck of a lot more than I want Brian Giles or Junior Griffey, and he only costs money.)

no problem
Cubs would just convert the Batters Eye (that bar/restaurant area behind center field) into Barry’s own personal clubhouse.

at this point, I'm definitely rooting for Gavin to get it...
...but if he doesn’t, then I hope it’s on a controversial call, just to hear Hawk pop a vein in his forehead on the air…
Dagumbit!
