TV listings for Chicago Cubs fans - October 2008

September 30, 2008 by diana

I'm not finding programs via keyword "Cubs" via the Tivo and Comcast cable websites. So I'll have to find them elsewhere.

Today they had a program titled "Windy City Playoff Preview Special". I'm hoping they'll reair it.

Here is their schedule for the 2008 Postseason games.

Comcast Sportsnet Chicago is offering Cubs pre-game and post game programs. TBS is airing the actual playoff games.

So you might want to add this to your viewing/recording lineup:

Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Comcast Sportsnet Chicago
5:00p Cubs Pregame Live
5:30p Chicago Tribune Live (LIVE)
6:30p SportsNite (LIVE)

9:00p Cubs Postgame Live
10:00p SportsNite (LIVE)

TBS 5:30pm - 9pm Cubs vs Dodgers

and of course, always record the WGN News when something Cubtastic is happening. Today their noon news program was all coverage of the Cubs Rally.

Set your vcr/Tivo/PVR to record for their news programs.

I'm rather surprised that TBS isn't re-airing the playoff games overnight.

---------

The next two Cubs starting pitchers are Rich Harden and Ted Lilly.

Interesting quote from bleedcubbieblue...

Quote:
...there have been seven five-game series in the history of MLB postseason play in which a team went down 2-0 and came back to win....

And, this 2003 ALDS between the A's and Red Sox; this time the Red Sox lost the first two games on the road before winning the series. Game Three, oddly enough, was started by Ted Lilly (for Oakland) and the losing pitcher was... Rich Harden.

Zack Hample gets final Mets HR at Shea, cannot be stopped

By 'Duk

Major props to Zack Hample, the New Yorker who keeps proving that when it comes to his hobby of "snagging" baseballs, luck has nothing to do with it.

Only one week removed from catching two of the last home runs ever hit at Yankee Stadium, Hample came up big again on Sunday, getting into postion to catch the final homer hit by the Mets at Shea Stadium, a blast to left field from Carlos Beltran against the Marlins.
