For anybody who's wondering about what channel the game is on
It’s on the local WGN channel in chicago, not on the superstation. I don’t think it’s available on mlb.tv. The game is not in HD which sucks, but the cubs look good in standard definition so it’s okay
sparse but blue!!
lower deck well populated, sparse beyond that

Tip for MLB.tv users
Go to cubs.com to access the media center. No blackout!!!
blacked out for me??
This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).
I am sick of this blackout crap
people that live 45 mions from the park are able to see the damn game and i am in Indianapolis and i can’t see the thing. Put the freaking thing on CSN!

I have MLB.TV for Saturdays, backup, and on the road. Watching a game on it is the modern equivalent of listening on a transistor radio.
Way better than nothing, though.
only thing i hate about the stuff online is the delay
sometimes i listen or watch the game online and it’s always off by like 15 seconds.

I just read at the other BCB
that they would almost prefer to miss the playoffs so ensure that Yost gets fired. I think this is a stupid thought process, but if you wanna suck balls on purpose to get your manager fired, so be it, Brewers!

You think it sucks 2nite....
wait until Wed when the game is only shown on the public access channel—- WCIU. That is the Cubs-Brewers game and only people inside the freaking loop will see it!
I thought ESPN has that game
If they don’t I should get the FSN Wisconsin feed on Extra Innings

Fell asleep with the phone in his hand...
…and no one would get up in the Cardinals bullpen until he gave the word, thus the game was delay due to Tony being “asleep”, and the Pirates got mad, so they said “Screw it, our season’s over, let’s start a fight”.

Tempers flared in the bottom of the eighth after the last out of the inning. Doug Mientkiewicz and Aaron Miles began exchanging heated words at second base moments after Mientkiewicz swatted the ball from Miles’ hands on a potential double play. Soon after, both benches and bullpens poured onto the field.
it appeared no punches were thrown, but three Cardinals had to hold back pitcher Ron Villone, who was ejected, from coming after Mientkiewicz.

Yeah, here I am....
though I am not a hater. I am glad that he is hitting so far in this game. That he took a ball the other way FINALLY is great to see. I hope that it continues. Maybe the time off did him some good. Maybe the hitting coach finally noticed/got it through to him. However, if he suddenly strands five people on base later, I am not going to be a jerk and “Call DLEE lovers out of the woodwork”. Let’s keep the focus on the game and the issues, not starting fights, eh?

Seriously...
Should we thank Drayton McLane for getting our offense back on track??

Who thought this game between Zambrano and Wolf would be close?
Spoiled and Nittany, I believe? I believe this is the career-average Wolf I was discussing in the pre-game thread. And the ace Zambrano. Ahhhhh.

Never said it'd be close
Just said I was concerned about which pitchers we’d see today

College football discussion:
Thoughts from this weekend:
—Michigan sucks, and it gives me warm fuzzies
—Not sure how I feel about the OSU stomping…I’d like them to have a high ranking when Wisco demoralizes them in a few weeks
—KU played a great game (offensively…) agasinst USF, but couldn’t hang on
—Conversely, Wisco played the exact game they needed to – even after getting SCREWED on the worst overturned call in Badger history – to beat a very, very, very good Fresno State team.
That’s all I got for now…other thoughts, BCBers?

College Football doesn't exist where I come from
well, maybe Rutgers did for a season, but that was it.
USC is the best (as usual)

Pretty easy to be the best

most recent years the team that loses the Iowa-ISU game gets to a bowl
