Dan Plesac had

his rally cap on in the pregame show. It is time to turn this losing streak around. Let’s do this Cubs!!!!

Looks like SBN is acting goofy tonight. I’ve noticed several double posts.

YESSSSSSSS

Comcast SportsNet is finally captioned!!! I’m hearing impaired and since CSN is a relatively new station, they had not yet captioned it – so I generally preferred WGN…hence my screen name. But today I turned the game on and lo and behold…CAPTIONS! I can now “listen” to Bob and Len. This may seem small to most of you, but it’s huge for me. May more good things follow! Like WINS.

by cubsonWGN4ever on Sep 6, 2008 6:04 PM CDT   0 recs

hope they are fairly legible

I’ve noticed captions to be a bit… improvisational

Aw, I'm happy for you.

It’s about time they did this too.

by sue369 on Sep 6, 2008 6:06 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks!

I actually spoke to someone at the CSN home office at the beginning of this season and they mentioned that they were in the process of finding sponsors for their captioning apparatus – Dodge sponsors WGN captions, for example – and I guess they must have found one. Not sure who it is yet.

I dind't know it wasn't captioned

but yay for equal access. :-) hope they’re accurate.

a few websites that can’t handle it. I wish that I could correlate a tab to a process in task manager.

It does seem to struggle with big BCB threads.

Looks like Marquis has decent stuff tonight and is throwing strikes. Just need him to avoid that one bad “Marquis inning” now.

Also...

I think that it’s important that the Cubs score first tonight…I’m sick of them playing from behind.

first run seems to win the game… dunno the stats but it’s a momentum setter
