I’m in Chicago and I’m getting the San Francisco call on the HD channel and Len and Bob on the SD channel. I’m watching the HD because I’ve become spoiled and the announcers are OK. Anybody have any ideas?
But I was home and my parents have cable so I got to actually watch the game. Mom sat down for a few minutes to watch the game it was during the 7th, she not a baseball fan.
She looks at me and says does that girl realize they are playing a game? They just got a hit and she kept talking. I burst into laughter. and told her I ponder this fact often during home games
Just opened my mail, and this shirt was in it. My mother’s email is on it, so I’m assuming she ordered it for me…were these the old shirts that orders got all FUBARED late last year?!
He started out well. “A lot of people tell you this country’s best days are behind it. Well don’t listen to them.” But then he went off the rails, talking about a couple citizens in Chicago who did great things but it didn’t have much to do with his original point. He talked a lot about himself and his accomplishments with the public schools. Then he just basically launched into a marketing schpiel as if he was asked, “Why should Chicago go after the Olympics?” instead of, “What is your advice to us graduates?” On top of that, the man confused subject-verb agreement the entire day – “Our children is the future” – and mispronounced words and got other facts wrong (“I’m happy to be here for the 105th Commencement” .... it was the 150th). A lot of us were pretty let down.
Emmott, however, was quite enjoyable. He’s British, so getting to hear that accent and humor is always a plus, and he had a lot of clever things to say, along with good optimism about the future of journalism.
Even though I was accepted at Medill for a master’s in journalism, I chose a different school and lived to regret the decision every day—until I met my fiancee at the other school. However, I’ve worked with NW in several capacities and admire and respect their administration. Hopefully, I can get a real, full-time job there soon.
this is the first game i’ve watched since game two of the baltimore series… i needed a break… i knew what was going on, didn’t tune in for the pitch of the sox games (mostly because of meetings… i have a job afterall) however it looks like we both needed a break from each other… it’s good to see them back in form again
Some player told Joe Morgan he grew up watching the BRM, and Morgan said so on the broadcast
Baseball this Morning did the math … the kid would have barely been born at the end of the BRM days … he was blowing smoke and Morgan didn’t even know it
is it bad luck, or dishonorable, or even against Japanese stereotypes for Kosuke to be wearing “Fukudome” on his jersey instead of the more standardized “Kosuke,” or is that just an American misconception?
Ichiro is just the special and very unique case…. Americans and other foreign players in Japan sometimes wear his first name instaed of family name in NPB, just as Alex Ochoa wears “ALEX”
aaron rowand… every sox fan EVER who called into the score last year said they wanted Rowand back because he “had the passion and the fire” (in a THICK chicago accent, of course) and those were the only reasons they wanted him

GoCubbies34 - June 30, 2008
Hey guys...
I’m sitting on hold with Comcast right now… CSN+ not working in Peoria… again… I’m so mad… 20 min on hold so far
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
That sucks.
Good luck.
sue369 - June 30, 2008
Funny, it's working in HD in Peoria
Channel 947
Itchy - June 30, 2008
of course
not in sd though… channel 74 never works
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Comcast blows
Itchy - June 30, 2008
i'm telling them one more problem and they can switch it off and directv is going in
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Where've you been
We could have used the Hough the last few nights
For comfort, if nothing else
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
i've been staying away on purpose
i got a little frustrated last time i was in here… went out and bought team fortress 2… much stress alleviated… better now
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
oh, that seriously sucks. :(
You haven’t missed much yet.
slcathena - June 30, 2008
That sucks
lostinthevines - June 30, 2008
watching it
on CSN. Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow with the call
BigDcubbie - June 30, 2008
I am not getting the HD feed on the West Coast either
but I’d still rather watch Len & Bob the old way than watch the Giants broadcasters in HD. I am loyal to my Cubs and the Cubs’ broadcast!
LAcarl519 - June 30, 2008
i hear you. but this is the MLB extra innings package
BigDcubbie - June 30, 2008
Agreed. But I'l watch +150 games in HD.
No prob.
LAcarl519 - June 30, 2008
But it does piss me off that DirecTV is not
picking up the CSN+ feed. They have picked up the HD feed from CSN+ in the past.
LAcarl519 - June 30, 2008
I hear ya
But even though it’s the West Coast feed, it’s there
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
I actually kind of like these guys.
I laughed when they crossed out the bald guy.
nathew - June 30, 2008
Me too and I feel dirty about it
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
much like west coast crowds...
it arrived late
Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008
Can anyone tell us hicks
Who live south of I-80 what is going on?
And how many CLTV games are left?
DaBard - June 30, 2008
Looks like 3.
sue369 - June 30, 2008
What gives?
I’m in Chicago and I’m getting the San Francisco call on the HD channel and Len and Bob on the SD channel. I’m watching the HD because I’ve become spoiled and the announcers are OK.
Anybody have any ideas?
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
DirecTV
BTW
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
No HD for CSN on DirecTV it appears tonight.
Same problem here in LA. I refuse to watch the SF broadcast.
LAcarl519 - June 30, 2008

lswaidz - June 30, 2008
You've got Fontenot in your TV?
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
Which channel?
I’ve got the San Fran HD feed on DirecTV but I don’t see any SD channel with Len and Bob.

lostinthevines - June 30, 2008
I'm officially afraid of the Cards now
And I HATE that feeling
DaBard - June 30, 2008
Be not afraid
It’s only halftime.
Not Bruce Froemming - June 30, 2008
You know that scene in Fatal Attraction
When Glenn Close rises up out of the bathtub and Michael Douglas has to shoot her a few times to make sure she is dead?
That’s what it is going to take. I’m afraid this weekend’s series is going to be the bunny boiling for us.
DaBard - June 30, 2008
Here we go ...
Get the ledges ready …
Not Bruce Froemming - June 30, 2008
better get the nets ready too...
...the paper nets. ;-)
ballhawk - June 30, 2008
why? because they beat the mets?
I watched that game, the mets just aren’t good.
slcathena - June 30, 2008
Still not sure they have the horses
They’re overperforming by soooo much right now
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
OT - Any Ideas
where I can get “Hey Hey Holy Mackeral” in mp3 for free? Wanna make it my ringtone ‘cuz I hate the new Cubs song
lostinthevines - June 30, 2008
Try a google search -- I found something once, but I don't know what the site was anymore
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
I guess it would help if I'd been spelling Mackerel correctly
lostinthevines - June 30, 2008
I'll try to remember to look when I have a chance.
Too much multi-tasking….
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
Seriously, your brain could fry if you don't cut back
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
not sure it could get worse than it already is

Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
Can Lilly take some lessons from Dempster
on the art of the sac bunt. Just watch in a mirror to get the lefty at bat.
LAcarl519 - June 30, 2008
tired of our pitchers not bunting well
jds2 - June 30, 2008
If that's the worst that someone can say of our starters when the year is over, I'll be happy
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
i don't know
not doing simple baseball basics that can help the team win is a pretty big deal to me

Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008

northsider - June 30, 2008
The Hough..
I’ll take her if no one else wants her..lol..
Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
Julianne Hough
sue369 - June 30, 2008
The Hough
I’d feel guilty claiming her all by myself…but it no one else wants her…
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
Pete and Repete..
Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
I couldnt remember her name.
But I was home and my parents have cable so I got to actually watch the game. Mom sat down for a few minutes to watch the game it was during the 7th, she not a baseball fan.

Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008
Carmen Fanzone?
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
Hank White?
Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
Geo?
northsider - June 30, 2008

You get what you need
GoCubbies34 - June 30, 2008

lswaidz - June 30, 2008
What if you NEED Scarlett Johanssen?
DaBard - June 30, 2008
then you get her, my friend...
you go out there and get her… restraining order be damned!
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
prolly my favorite Stones song
Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008
satisfaction...
one of the few i like… not the biggest stones fan, but they have a couple good ones
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
me either.
I love the lyrics. They are so true.
Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008
how's lilly looking tonight?
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Not half bad.
But the strike zone seems strangely high tonight.
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
walked the first batter then got a DP and a strike out
He looks okay—that initial walk sort of sucked.
slcathena - June 30, 2008
lilly seems to be decent tonight
Krukow says Zito and Lilly are of similar makeup. I don’t know if
that is a compliment or not
BigDcubbie - June 30, 2008
Sheesh. Yahoo is WAY behind.
I’ve still got a 3-1 count.
DaBard - June 30, 2008
47 pitches for Zito
only 25 of them strikes.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 30, 2008
anybody want to play NAME THAT MOLINA???
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
The good one. Bengie (SP)
nji232 - June 30, 2008
Isn't there a Harpo Molina now?
Seriously, I’ve lost track. It is somewhat impressive, I guess.

my favorite is steve
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Groucho Molina?
GoCubbies34 - June 30, 2008
I hate them all
chilango2 - June 30, 2008
Molina
singles..
Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
molina lines one to right
murton actually takes a good line on the ball, holds him to a single
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
or lines one to left...
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Anyone explain this to me?
Just opened my mail, and this shirt was in it. My mother’s email is on it, so I’m assuming she ordered it for me…were these the old shirts that orders got all FUBARED late last year?!
dtpollitt - June 30, 2008

you were referring to conversations about Jose Valverde

lswaidz - June 30, 2008
She seems friendly.
eswan9 - June 30, 2008
Smart, too
DaBard - June 30, 2008
i'd take her out for a nice seafood dinner...
and i would call her again
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
what if she ate crackers in bed?
just wonderin’
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
"giggles" but keeps my mouth shut
Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008
it's all good
as long as she makes my bed in the morning after i leave… she can eat ANYTHING she wants in it
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
lol
slcathena - June 30, 2008
Don't use it yet!!!
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
don't worry
that’s not the good luck picture… there are many like it, but this one is not it
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Nothing like a woman that wears 3 lbs of make-up
dtpollitt - June 30, 2008
Is it just me or is her smile a little...off
Like the surgeon’s knife slipped.
Crackers in bed? Nah.
But if she brought Doritos? Yeah, she’s gone. I HATE Doritos in bed.
DaBard - June 30, 2008
Don't speak ill of the Hough!!! ;)
cocknfire - June 30, 2008

I don't want a program...XP Resizer allows you to right click a picture and simply select an image size that's smaller...
...and it makes a copy for you. This is just another program…
dtpollitt - June 30, 2008
do not want
northsider - June 30, 2008
Soooo no one knows if these were the shirts from last year? Or a rogue shirt??

Maybe we can keep the leadoff guy off base
cocknfire - June 30, 2008

2 out, 2 on
lswaidz - June 30, 2008

Gameday says Lilly's fastball is 88
thats… not good.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 30, 2008
It's faster than Zito's...
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
yeah, but his good stuff is in the low 90s
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 30, 2008
Jamie Moyer would kill for that 88 mph fastball

Nope
People would actually be able to tell where that one’s going

Congrats!
GoCubbies34 - June 30, 2008
thank you!
Commencement Speaker Richard “Da Mare” Daley
Journalism Convocation Speaker Bill Emmott (Editor Emeritus, The Economist)
northsider - June 30, 2008
What was Daley's topic?
How to stuff a ballot box
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
lol
He started out well. “A lot of people tell you this country’s best days are behind it. Well don’t listen to them.” But then he went off the rails, talking about a couple citizens in Chicago who did great things but it didn’t have much to do with his original point. He talked a lot about himself and his accomplishments with the public schools. Then he just basically launched into a marketing schpiel as if he was asked, “Why should Chicago go after the Olympics?” instead of, “What is your advice to us graduates?” On top of that, the man confused subject-verb agreement the entire day – “Our children is the future” – and mispronounced words and got other facts wrong (“I’m happy to be here for the 105th Commencement” .... it was the 150th). A lot of us were pretty let down.
Emmott, however, was quite enjoyable. He’s British, so getting to hear that accent and humor is always a plus, and he had a lot of clever things to say, along with good optimism about the future of journalism.
northsider - June 30, 2008

Even though I was accepted at Medill for a master’s in journalism, I chose a different school and lived to regret the decision every day—until I met my fiancee at the other school.
However, I’ve worked with NW in several capacities and admire and respect their administration. Hopefully, I can get a real, full-time job there soon.

i don’t think she’s THAT attractive… just good luck…
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
More of a running joke than anything
I’d still think she’s kinda cute, though
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
nice eyes
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
Kelly Pickler was cuter...
Bump Bailey - June 30, 2008
But more annoying.
northsider - June 30, 2008
She didn't know the words though
‘Popcorn and Cracker Jacks’
Not like it matters…
GoCubbies34 - June 30, 2008
Kelly Pickler never started a rally

you say that like there's something wrong with it....
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
No
i just didn’t know that she’d really done anythng.. i figured y’all were going on b/c of the boobs.
halfblindcubbiegirl - June 30, 2008
just teasing-- I actually haven't contributed to the Hough talk
other than the cracker joke
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008
i know you were teasing.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 30, 2008
Our love for the Hough is not shallow
At least not anymore shallow than y’all’s for Geo ;)
cocknfire - June 30, 2008
BS.
Geo scores runs and throws people out. Didn’t we win this argument last week?
slcathena - June 30, 2008
I'm sure Hough scores and then throws them out, too!
Shanghai Badger - June 30, 2008

if she's smart she does the later part lol
Madison Cub Fan - June 30, 2008

so i'll be honest w/ all of you
this is the first game i’ve watched since game two of the baltimore series… i needed a break… i knew what was going on, didn’t tune in for the pitch of the sox games (mostly because of meetings… i have a job afterall) however it looks like we both needed a break from each other… it’s good to see them back in form again

Did DeRo really score from first on a double?
We (or at least Lou) know that DeRo is too slow to bat near the top of the order.
DeRoMyHero - June 30, 2008
What the hell happened to Zito??
What does he suck SOOOO MUCH now?
dtpollitt - June 30, 2008
A's pitchers tend to be overrated
The only SP’s that are solid are Hudson and Haren. After that the rest pitiful/injured. Blanton is also overrated (and yes BlueMike, so it Harden).

I went to the A’s vs Redsox in 2003. Man, Tejada from the A’s owned the Redsox pitching and haha, I really enjoyed booing Nomar :)
But yes, that park is freekin huge! I guess you can say it is as bad as PETCO Park.

Dragon, maybe you can answer this...
is it bad luck, or dishonorable, or even against Japanese stereotypes for Kosuke to be wearing “Fukudome” on his jersey instead of the more standardized “Kosuke,” or is that just an American misconception?
lswaidz - June 30, 2008
That normal to wear family name
Ichiro is just the special and very unique case….
Americans and other foreign players in Japan sometimes wear his first name instaed of family name in NPB, just as Alex Ochoa wears “ALEX”
