The Cubs aren't playing the Cardinals as often this year as they have in past years. I wonder why the change in the scheduling.

Anyway, for this weekend the Friday game will be on Comcast Sports Chicago, the Saturday game will air on Fox National (WFLD 32, etc.) and Sunday night's game will be on ESPN. Get your Tivo's ready!

Keep an eye on the local sports newscasts Wednesday night and also Sportsnite and the Chicago Tribune Live programs for coverage of this event.

I enjoy seeing videos of current and former Cubs in sports that we usually don't get to see them participating in.
Hope they offer an entire show from this event. We'll see.

This show pretty much airs M-F at 5:30pm and again at 1am unless something pre-empts it. I'm posting the Friday listing because Fridays include former Cub outfielder Todd Hollandsworth on the show.

If you visited Len & Bob's Baseball Blog today you may have noticed the entry regarding the WGN Baseball buddy. The link to that website doesn't appear to work from the front page url of
http://blogs.trb.com/sports/custom/weblog/wgnsports/

However, if you click on the permalink to that entry at:
http://blogs.trb.com/sports/custom/weblog/wgnsports/2008/08/the_buddy_system.html

Then the link to the Baseball Buddy will function.

To make life easier for you, here's a direct link and the url for the WGN Baseball buddy.

I'm not finding a WGN/Comcast/ESPN/Fox listing for this game yet...
So far just WCIU has it. That won't help those of us outside of WCIU's broadcast area.

I'm still hoping that someday Cubs fans will be able to select a season pass on their Tivo or cable pvr/dvr and have that record all the first run Cubs games for them.

Day-night double header today

August 13, 2008 by diana, 1 year 30 weeks ago
Comment id: 3228


Neither the Comcast tv listings or the Tivo listings has either of today's Cubs/Braves games listed at their "live" listings.
(The re-run of the Comcast game is listed.)

The first game (make-up game from last night's rainout) is on WGN at Noon today. The second game is on Comcast Plus. Probably at 6pm.

Bob and Len's blog mentions it at:
