Complete Coverage >


Which TV markets shall I screw today? Muwahahahahahaha!!!

Who knows where the magical Fox wizard will send today's game? The other games are Brewers/Reds and Twins/Rays, so your guess is as good as mine. Site note: IF the Cubs win, today's recap will be delayed... possibly till tomorrow morning, as I intend to stick around and celebrate!

Good news: Geovany Soto should be back in the lineup today. And in honor of that, here's today's Gratuitous Geo Photo:

Go Geo Go!

No surprise here: the tarps are coming off the Budweiser house. Not that I'm an apologist for a large corporate advertiser, nor am I a lawyer, but it seemed clear that the building's new owner was trying to pull a fast one. A judge agreed:

Judge Martin S. Agran served up a cold one to building owner Tom Gramatis, ruling he didn't give Anheuser-Busch enough warning before voiding a lease agreement and hiding the sign.

Attendance watch: last year's record of 3,252,462 will fall today -- total attendance for 2008 through yesterday's game was 3,218,052, so it will take 34,411 to break the record. The expected crowd today of about 41,000 should clear the record by about 6,500 and tomorrow's sellout should bring the total very, very close to 3.3 million.

Now, on to the business of winning one more game... then starting the "win" countdown over at "11".

Today's Starting Pitchers
Ted Lilly
T. Lilly
Cubs
vs. Joel Piniero
J. Piniero
Cardinals
15-9 W-L 6-6
4.13 ERA 5.24
175 SO 71
61 BB 31
31 HR 21
vs. StL -- vs. Cubs

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Ted Lilly 15-9 32 32 0 0 0 0 191.2 179 91 88 31 61 175 4.13 1.25


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Joel Pineiro 6-6 24 23 0 0 1 0 135.2 171 81 79 21 31 71 5.24 1.49

Joel Piniero missed a month on the DL and hasn't thrown well when he has been active -- in his two September starts he's got an ERA of 11.00. He hasn't faced the Cubs this year, which is too bad for Alfonso Soriano, who loves to hit off him (14-for-42, 4 doubles, 3 HR), and Derrek Lee, who's 5-for-7 lifetime (1 HR) off Piniero.

Ted Lilly, when he's not being used as a human wrecking ball, has won 15 games each of the last three seasons, including this one... a win today would give him a career high. The only downside of his year has been the 31 HR allowed, tied for second-worst in the majors. After a bad first half Lilly is 6-3, 3.30 since the All-Star break.

Today's game is on Fox. At the time this posted, the usual list of markets was unavailable. As noted above, Fox is also covering Brewers/Reds and Twins/Rays -- so I'm guessing that unless you live in Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Ohio (or probably the Red Sox-centric markets which would have interest in the Rays game), you'll get the Cubs game. For other games today see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Today is THE Day Boys and Girls...

…I have felt it all week. We are getting our b-fast on right now and heading to Wrigley to watch the Ice-Man lock this thing down.

I thought it was funny listening to Lou in the post-game press conf yesterday apparently doesnt understand the magic number dynamic, but I would rather he keep his mind focused on winning each day.

Have a good thread guys and gals, it’s gonna be a GREAT day today!

with the sox out of town

the Fenway area would be good – Game On or Boston Billiards Club or Cask n’ Flaggon.

Or you could go to the Fanueil Hall area – there’s about 30 bars to choose from in that area.

And, if you’re looking for the dirtiest bar in Boston, take the C line to Cleveland Circle and head for Mary Ann’s – it’s Boston College’s dive bar. In that area you could go to City Side or Roggie’s as well – they’re both solid bars.

I posted this already on a different thread, but

was so happy with how it turned out here it is again.

With apologies to Robert Frost.

Some say the clinch will come by Win,
Some say by Gift.
Because I like the room to spin,
I’ll raise my glass and cheer them, “Win!”
But since the Reds are back in fifth,
I think that I would be okay
To take the Brewers’ loss as Gift
Since either way
I won’t be miffed.

Ted Lilly will give a look at the scoreboard, and the scoreboard will blank out in fear and panic.

I Hate The Reds, Brewers & Fox

I live in Columbus, OH. According to TitanTV, and my guide on the Time Warner cable, we’re getting the Brewers/Reds game.

So, not only did I miss Zambrano’s no-no due to a crazy windstorm through the area, I’m going to miss the potential clinching game because Fox has some crazy regional rules.

I hope they switch over for the last inning or so if the Cubs are ahead so I can at least see the celebration.

Long days and pleasant nights.

or the brewers game ends first and I can see the end of the Cubs game.

My fearless predictions for today:

1. Ted Lilly will pitch 7 brilliant innings.
2. DLee will have at least one XBH.
3. Ramy will go yard.
4. A Cubs OF will make a great catch.
5. Joel Pineiro will not make it out of the 5th inning.
6. (going out on a limb) DeRo will go yard 3 times.
7. The Cubs players (and a few coaches) will have raging hangovers by 8 pm CT.

I have set up a webcam and a mic across Sheffield. I’m gonna leave it running while I’m at the game, so if there happens to be some partying in the streets, at least you guys and gals can see/hear some of it. I’ve never used this program that streaming it before, so if it crashes or if anything else happens that makes it go away… sorry, I tried.

And if this some kinda of legal violation…. sorry Al. I’m no lawyer either, but thought this might be a fun idea.

Disagree...

He said that he didn’t want to ruin the bullpen, but the bullpen (including Marshall) pitched 7+ innings anyway. If he didn’t call up enough arms for September, that’s his fault. Making Z pitch was the wrong thing to do.
