Can you watch archived games on MLB.tv without having a MLB.tv subscription? I thought I saw someone on here that you just have to have a MLB.com account. Is that right, or do you have to have some sort of MLB.tv subscription?

He misread the ball,
it hit the lip and he thought it would come up higher, but it didn’t, and went through his legs
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
A little difficult
ball seemed to hit at the seam of the grass and dirt and didn’t bounce up very much. Perfect defensive form might have still allowed him to get it, but he was charging the ball.

Just realized
That Zambrano has the highest batting average in our lineup today. By almost 50 points. Would have taken me a while to guess that.
Ken Griffey Jr.
is the reason why Ichiro wears #51 since he became a pro, but now he wears #3…

Griffey wore #30 didn't he?

They want Harden to have extra time at the ASB. It’s not because they regard him as a #4. Lilly before Z and Demp because he isn’t going to the ASG.

I can’t explain it. He’s awesome. :P
Harden is DEFINITELY objectively cuter, though.

what the hell, directv?
the game is supposed to be on channel 740 but is apparently blacked out—even though i live in michigan and the blackout shouldn’t apply. it’s coming in on channel 640, but when i try to DVR it, it says “your receiver is not authorized to record this program”.
this is ridiculous. anyone else with directv having this problem?
You can't record?
I just hit the record, no problem here…..

Yeah, I wish WGN had the Saturday games...
if Comcast has it, even though the game will be over long before Fox starts, it is blacked out. I certainly hope that Harden pitches Friday, otherwise I will have only Cartoon Cubs…....

There’s no workaround. But 640 should be CSN with Len and Bob, so other than not being able to record it, it’s fine, right?

Would you ever have guessed at the beginning of the year that
Soto would lead the team in home runs?
Hey, it's a new century!
missed opportunity
Cueto isn’t going to be in there forever. Too bad we didn’t score.

Rusch only one run thru 3 innings...impressive!
I would have expected him to put up a snowman (8) by now.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
that was pretty close.
out of the inning.

our run support for Z is often quite thin in the early going
...or so it seems.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
We could have three 20 game winners this year....

Edmonds flies to right, 1 down
DeRosa grounds out…2 down
Nobody cares about your fantasy league team
Johnson Ks

Cueto’s starting to settle in or something.

alright
time to blow this game OPEN. Cueto has over 50 pitches. Z is locked in. Let’s GET SOME RUNS!
"We expect to win. We go out to win. So we're just living up to our own expectations." Derrek Lee, 5/29/08
wow.
that’s a metric ton. His bullpen isn’t going to be able to keep that locked down.

Thinking out loud here (and avoiding work)...
I’m guessing that the reason the Cubs are carrying 13 pitchers and not calling up a position player is that Jim Hendry is trying to trade a pitcher (Wuertz, Lieber, Marshall, or Marquis) for a 4th OF before the ASB. I don’t think that Lou wants Pie back up, Hoffpauir duplicates Ward, Fuld can’t hit AA pitching, and Dubois and Kroeger are 4A players.
Any other ideas?

It'd better be Marquis, and Pie had better be up before the season is over...
