I'll listen to Pat and Ron on WGN radio.

I'll listen on the radio to Ed Farmer and Darrin Jackson.

I'll probably watch parts of both telecasts

I only get in WGN-TV, so that will be my only option.

I won't be able to watch/listen to any of these games.

I'll use a dual tuner dvr/Tivo to record both and check interesting plays to see what each broadcaster says.

Has a breaking ball ever moved so much as it moved coming out of Kerry Wood's hand that day? That was simply an amazing performance, worth watching again.

So if you want to watch Bob and Len for the Cubs/Sox series, tune in to Comcast on Friday and WGN on Sunday. Saturday's game is on Fox National - channel 32 in Chicago.

If you still want to watch MORE baseball on Sunday after the Cubs/Sox game, you can see how the Cubs's triple A team looks.

Rainout may have unique consequences
September makeup game could have huge implications

A split-city doubleheader next weekend, with one game at U.S. Cellular Field and one at Wrigley Field, seems highly unlikely at this point, meaning the makeup date from Tuesday's postponement probably will come on Sept. 3 or Sept. 10.

Cubs/White Sox game vs. Michael Jackson tv programs

June 26, 2009 by diana, 37 weeks 5 days ago
Comment id: 3418

After posting the above tv listings and polls...today I ended up channel surfing for Michael Jackson related programs. I did Tivo the game & post game shows though.

BBC World (via BBC America) as usual came up with information that the US media didn't report. WGN devoted a good part of Thursday night's news telecast to the story.

CNN has pretty much been the MJ channel.

MTV and some of the MTV digitals have been airing MJ music videos - some of which I don't recall ever seeing before.

Did anyone else notice that the early 1980's MJ resembles a young Sammy Sosa from his White Sox days?
