Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Does anyone know if they'll be broadcasting either one of the games on a station other than Fox Sports Net Chicago? I live in Michigan and can't believe that I'm supposedly getting the A's vs. the M's instead of a game that's taking place a couple hours from where I live.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 And its a final. The Astros have lost the first two games against the Brewers. The Cubs lead game 1 vs. the Pirates 4-2 in the 8th. The Cubs could actually clinch today if they pull off a sweep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHawk 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Can somebody explain to me FOX's logic when showing "regional coverage"? I just watched the Brewers-Astros game instead of the Cubs-Prates game despite the fact that I live less than two hours from Pittsburgh (and one of the FOX affiliates is closer to Pittsburgh than that). At least they showed an important game, but it seems like common sense would dictate otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Cubs beat the Pirates, 4-2. They have clinched at least a tie for the NL Central title, and can win their first division title in 14 years outright with a win in the second half of the doubleheader later today.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 YES YES YES YES YES YES!!! If they can pull off a win later on tonight, I will streak through the streets of downtown Saginaw, Michigan...or maybe not. But if they don't do it tonight, well you may not wanna be around me. I'm hoping someone shows game 2, since it IS a very important game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 I'm convinced that the worst problem baseball has, the absolute WORST, is the fact that FOX broadcasts important games. Because of the Pirates/Cubs game, the Phillies/Braves game was placed in a small box at the bottom of the screen. With two outs, a runner on, one run behind, and NO INDICATION OF THE COUNT. And Abreu ties the game, and John Smoltz blows a save. If Fox can't broadcast the game properly, then leave it to Comcast, who properly broadcasts the game, and lets us listen to the excellent Harry Kalas, instead of fucking Tim McCarver.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Tim McCarver, with Thome on 2nd, no outs, game tied. "This is an OBVIOUS bunting situation...." No its not. Giving the other team the first out so that you add a marginally better chance of scoring is not a good idea. Your odds are always better with 0 outs than with 1.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 The second Cubs game is going on right now and it's already 6-0 in their favor in the third. Of course, instead of just giving us the game straight up, we've gotta settle for the two screen/two game thing, and now we've just got the A's/M's game. Not only is that ridiculous since I'm in Michigan, nowhere near Seattle or Oakland, but the other game actually means something, whereas the A's/M's game means shit. Good to see the Cubs being agressive in the early going, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just John 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 The Astros keep my hopes up all year only to let me down on the second to last day of the season. The Cubs are raping the pirates and we can't even pull out a win over the worst team in the division. I'm just a tad pissed at the slacking the Astros did this last week of the season. Oh well. *breaks out Rockets gear* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 I wouldn't say the Brewers are anywhere near the worst team in the division. Regardless of what the standings say, they've played some good ball over the past month or so and have always prided themselves on being the playoff buzzsaw, if they weren't going to make postseason. They went into Chicago a couple weeks back and took two of three, and they're aiming to take three of four from the Stros on their home turf tomorrow, although, if the Cubs keep it up tonight, that'll be irrelevant.
