9 is first

The next two weeks

I can only watch TWO Cubs games…yikes. Less Comcast, more WGN!

Looking at the score, Lilly has been fantastic. Things are looking good thus far, just for the love of god don’t put Howry in. I don’t know Lilly’s pitch count, so I don’t know if he can go all 9.

Yeah, but the Cubs are under .500 on WGN

and something like 51-19 on Comcast. Get thee to a bar or somewhere to see the Comcast games.

I live in Michigan

I doubt any of the bars would be showing it. Plus the whole under 21 thing.

Do you have a Buffalo Wild Wings?

They usually have the EI package…

Nah. The best bet would be the bowling alley

Which has a ton of TV’s, but they usually seem to keep all of them on one or two games. I bet if I went there right now, most of the TV’s would be either Tigers or whatever national game was on.

the 21 thing could be trouble.

don’t want to miss the playoffs because you’re in jail. I’d recommend a BW3 – I don’t think you have to be 21 to get in.

I actually do have it, and use it from time to time, but I’m just not a real radio guy. The only times I tend to listen on the radio is on the drive back to Indiana, I can actually somewhat get WGN radio up here.

Lilly did what he needed to tonight; I think Lou wants Kerry to get a chance at redemption. We will be depending on him being damn near perfect here on out.

I hope Woody shuts them down 1 2 3 ...but I hate this move

It worked...

AND wood needs to pitch…..still it shouldn’t have been this close….and I’d of pitched Wood even up 7-1 or 8-1 to give him some work.

The best defense is a good offense

Seriously?

Does Lou have some kinda phobia about letting guys finish games?
