Oddly enough, the Tivo listings and cable PVR listings lack any playoff listings that mention the Cubs or really anything current regarding the Cubs playoff games. Weird, huh.

HD games

DirecTV just added TBS-HD last week. The Rox-Pads game was on that channel in HD last night, so subscribers to that service should be all set (TNT-HD has been available for a long time).

I'm happy, at least.

Derrek Lee, Wrigley Field, ER series on NBC review

October 19, 2007 by diana, 2 years 21 weeks ago
Comment id: 2925

Who here watched the Wrigley Field scenes on ER last night?
(or did the weather reports pre-empt the program?)

My family noticed a few things...

1. The "players" around the batting cage didn't look like real Cub players, simply because they all were wearing the knee high socks and wearing their uniforms properly.

2. There were fans behind John Stamos in the box seats, yet no-one at all in the stands behind the batting cage along the right field side.

3. The child sure looked healthy. He didn't have to go to the game in a wheelchair. If he was in a wheelchair, he'd have to sit further back in the stands behind home plate...unless that has been changed.

4. ER's website offers a 2 minute video from each episode, however this week's snippet didn't include anything from the Wrigley story.

Gene Wojciechowski quotes the scene

Quote:
DERREK LEE
(handing Joshua a signed ball)
This is for you. Whole team signed it. Good luck in Baltimore.

(Joshua takes the ball, can't find words. Gates nudges him.)
JOSHUA
Wow … thanks, Mr. Lee.
(then)
You know … I gotta tell you … your opponents have a statistical tendency to pitch you high and outside. Wind's blowing out today, you lay off that stuff and you'll murder 'em.

DERREK LEE
I'll keep that in mind.

According to Wojciechowski, we can look for a January 2008 episode of ER that will deal directly with the near-stealth Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA). I wonder if Derrek Lee might appear in that episode also????
