Small panic....not on ESPN2
It’s on good old CSN with Len and Bob. Coolness!

Except....
If you don’t live in Chicago (and thus don’t get CSN), but are in the cubs “territory” and thus the game is blacked out on espn 2, so you can’t WATCH THE GAME.

Gameday Audio
For anyone else having problems getting the WGN feed at MLB.com … I called tech support, and they said they’ve “been having technical difficulties all day.” They basically said I should be happy I can listen to it at all, even if it’s with the Astros radio crew.
Oh well, no “Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!” today.
thanks for the clarification

I didn't realize how much an offseason would do in healing my wounds from last year's playoffs
I told myself I wasn’t gonna put all my hope in this team again….but they somehow managed to get me to do it. Let’s go Cubbies!
I hope they win it all
Although I don’t think they are going to. I’m pretty confident about the playoffs, but not sure about post-season success.
Cards just blew it

Just for others to know....I got a warning from Al for posting links
So i’m not posting links to games anymore
Sorry.
I can’t have you posting links to illegal video feeds. That could get me and SB Nation into legal trouble.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
Well, it's not illegal if you're not hosting the feed.
It’s legal to watch streaming videos of anything, as long as you aren’t hosting.
Bad Left Hook has linked whole fights on their FanShots. Not illegal at all.
I don't want to do it here.
My choice.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
It is my choice to do it because it is illegal.
We can have an entire discussion about this, but I don’t think you really want to bother with that, do you?
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
I don't think he's being mean, Al.
I understand that it’s not entirely legal, but it’s not entirely illegal, either. It’s your blog, that’s enough reason for me to comprehend.

I’d have to think that he would be on pace for infinite home runs as you basically need a non-home run to set the pace.

If you insist
hitting post seems to time out. Hitting preview first, then post seems to work better.

Good question
But I will say, every time someone said “Fifth Third” I say “Fifth Third Bank fifth inning”
Good question...
But, it must long-term generate some or else the ad execs would of changed things around. Or maybe not in the case of the auto industry.
