I don't mind the Brewers radio.
Kinda like Uecker. But it doesn’t matter who it is… Sutton or this schmuck they have now, with Bill Schroeder makes me want to take a letter opener to my ear drum. I hate when they play the Brewers, EI blackout.

looking at the replay
it probably was a ball. But in that situation I’ve no idea how Fox didn’t swing at it.

yeah i was hoping he was going to do a safety swing when he threw but who cares now

I think it helped
that Fox ducked as the pitch came in…. All I know is Cubs win!!

LOL, who's this idiot interviewing Theriot?
You’d think he would be aware that the game ended in extra innings!
on second look it was actually above the belt
he was calling high strikes all day but the pitch was still borderline

MLB blackout rules give FOX exclusive rights to out of market Saturday afternoon games.
It’s listed as being on here in WGN’s national feed here in St. Louis, but I’ll be surprised if it is.
sometimes for some dang reason
WGN Cub games don’t make it to the Superstation airing. I don’t know WHY .. but with FOX’s satanic monopoly on Saturday baseball, I just wondered how much of a cocked hat that this would be hit by

we will probably make some adjustments with the lineup…..right just like the last 3 times he said it. The question was towards Soriano so hopefully that means he is on the bench or outta leadoff spot
