Tonight's game is on Comcast Sports Chicago PLUS and CLTV, with a pregame show starting a half hour earlier than gametime.

Note to Comcast: PLEASE place some program listings on the empty channel that carries the Comcast Sports Chicago PLUS games. (In areas that don't get CLTV). It would make it easier for fans to find the games, especially those using Tivo searches, etc.

I tried to record the 2am showing of the Chi Cubs 19, Milwaukee 5 game, but it was carried by ESPN and they for some odd reason blacked it out. ESPN did air it live (we're way outside of WCIU's broadcast area) but for some reason they didn't air it again at 2am, even though it was in the tv listings as such.

Perhaps they just couldn't squeeze 24 runs into 2 hours. I don't know.

We just started getting in ESPN in HD. Wow!
I can see the player's faces now. They have emotions! Imagine that.
The players look a lot thinner in HD too.

Here's a link to a review of the game and boxscore.
