Chicago Cubs 2016 Thread

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but the Gazette tells me that tonight's game in being broadcast on the MLBN. Does that mean it won't be televised and can only be viewed online?

 

[judzeehawk]

What kind of BS is that!!!!!!!!!!

According to their website, these are the providers that will be carrying the game:

AT&T/DIRECTV, Bright House, Buckeye, Cox, Dish, Optimum, Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS

Cubs win 5-2!! 2 down 1 to go! The Cubs had 3 errors this evening but Hendricks had 2 rbi and Wood hit a solo HR. Go Cubs Go! Hopefully Hendricks isn't hurt to bad. Would be bad if he couldn't pitch any more.

He said in the postgame that he was feeling OK and thought he would be able to make his next start.

Feels good being up 2-0 going against Bumgarner tonight. I'd be feeling uncomfortable if we'd have even lost one in Chicago. Good news is we've won two and Rizzo hasn't done a thing yet. I still think Russell is the key to our lineup, but he looks really off at the plate right now. Go Cubs!

Which Jake shows up? Cy Young winning Jake? I think so....have to get on Baumgartner early....he only gets stronger as the game goes on. I think if it's close, Cubs tied or w/the lead, Joe does what he can to seal the deal in SF....f*ck I'm going crazy....

It would be so so glorious to knock off Baumgartner. Here's to hoping great Jake shows up.

Jake has been holding back. Didn't want to get burned out for the postseason. He will be ready.

Holy sh!t.....Arrieta just took bumgarner deep

 

[judzeehawk]

Jake Jake Jake!!!!!!! 3 run homer!!!!!!! GO CUBS GO!!!!!!!!!

 

[NEIChawk]

Can you believe it? Go Cubs....

Don't quite understand Joe's reasoning for starting the left handed hitting Montero against the tough LHP Bumgarten tonight. Maybe he will earn the start. We definitely need to get Bryant/Rizzo going soon. Hell, the pitchers have been more productive than they've been so far.

This game is taking forever! Makes me very nervous!!!!!!

The announcers said something like Montero and Jake work very well together. That means a lot.

Man....feels like survival mode now. An insurance run or two would be great.

 

[judzeehawk]

If we can get out of the 8th. I'll feel a lot better. What the heck is the matter with Rizzo?

 

[spliff45]

Really do not like the way this is going
