Last night's game vs. the Cardinals reairs today at 1pm on Comcast.

"Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals"
Thu 9/8 1:00 PM CSNCH (rerun)

I was listening to the 9th inning of this game as a passenger riding home from the store and was so stressed I was covering my eyes saying "I can't watch". Of course, that doesn't help much when listening to the radio. After that awful Cardinals game ending squeeze vs the Cubs earlier this year, Cubs fans everywhere were stressed during last night's 9th inning.

West Coast night games coming right up.
Time to hug your Tivo.
Let the Tivo record the game so you can sleep.

Woo hoo! They fixed the audio problem on the Comcast Plus telecast! It no longer sounds like the distortion is going to blow my tv speakers. Yippee!

However, 24 minutes or so into the game telecast, the game disappeared. Instead of the game we just got a black screen til later in the game. At least I knew before watching the game that they had lost so I wasn't too bothered about missing the game. I still haven't finished watching the game. I conked out about half past midnight and couldn't finish watching it.

I'm guessing that the telecast didn't get recorded at the ballpark, because the 2am re-airing of the game that was supposed to be the Cubs game was replaced with a White Sox game.

WGN has two versions of programming content. WGN-TV 9 for the Chicago area which includes the WB network programs and WGN Cable for those of us outside of the Chicagoland viewing area.

When WGN airs the WB schedule in Chicago, the outside Chicago audience receives alternative (non-WB) programming.

Tonight's game is aired only in Chicagoland on WCIU. I'd like to see WGN carry the WCIU games on the non-WB feed. Those folks don't have access to the game otherwise, so there isn't a duplication of content issue. It seems to me that this would be a win win solution.

What do you all think?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Congrats to the Chicago White Sox for getting into the playoffs.
I hope you whoop the Cardinals if they get into a series with you.

I'm out of the WCIU area and can't even get in WGN AM tonight, so I'm down to just following the game via the gameday boxscore feature at www.cubs.com - which isn't working really well (or at all). Probably because there are many folks like myself who can't get in the game thru the usual broadcasts and so the site is overloaded.

Was hoping that maybe ESPN would carry the game tonight, but it doesn't appear to be listed.

It does appear that the Saturday Cubs/Astros game will be on both Fox 32 and Comcast.

That means that if it doesn't get blacked out, I might actually get to watch a Cubs game this weekend in HD. Woohoo!

Does anyone know where Adam Greenberg is these days? Is he traveling with the team? Is there a possibility of him getting another MLB at bat this year?

I see that he is listed on the Cubs 40 man roster, but as being on that popular 15 day disabled list.
