@#!&%!$@!*&?
As we settle in this afternoon to watch the Cubs-Pirates and the Astros-Brewers matchups, we are treated to a tasty dose of not one, but TWO Cubs games. No, dear reader, I am not referring to the fact that the Cubbies have a doubleheader today, but the fact that the game is being broadcast on two stations, simultaneously! Well, that's just lovely. It's no big deal that the scheduled Astros game on Fox is replaced by the Fox Sports Net double broadcast. Oh no, I find it absolutely essential that I be able to switch between channel 12 and channel 28 to see the SAME game! Never mind that when you check the handy dandy digital cable TV Guide for channel 12 it states, "Astros-Brewers", but what do you see? That's right folks, you see the Cubs game! Again. Aw come on, man! I call bullshit! I call bullshit on you Fox!
*Apologies to all the neighbors of ours that had to endure the constant stream of various expletives spewing from my lady-like mouth upon this unjust discovery.

I'm sorry to hear that. However, FOX rightfully decided to focus on the better team, and .... OUCH! Quit throwing things!
Anyway - my condolences to you and the Astros. I just heard the Cubs won their division, which means several more weeks of unbelievable hardship for me. (Since I live right next to Wrigley)
Better luck to all of us next year.

"Several weeks" ?
These are the Cubs. If its one thing they know, its Choking in the Playoffs...

Actually, now I'm pissed. They are pre-empting the Blackhawks pre-game for this Cub crap. I want to watch hockey, dammit!

You got that right, groby! vince is Sorey McSore A Lot!

I think it's OK for Vince to be sore. He should be after the way the Sox folded.
The only thing more annoying than a die-hard Cubs-hating Sox fan is a Sox fan who says, "Oh, but I'd like to see the Cubbies win too."
Blech. Have some conviction.

I was actually at Wrigely yesterday to catch both games. Rightfully so, the entire city/broadcast structure was focused on it! First time in the playoffs not as a wildcard since..umm..88 I think.
I'll post more about it on my blog later, but I'm gonna go back to nursing this hangover now.

I am going to so savor the moment the Braves knock them out of the playoffs...

Take it outside, gentlemen.

Damn Vince, why you gotta be like that? I'd have rooted for the Sox if they made postseason!! Where's your Daley-lovin Chi-cago spirit buddy??
Fucking pinko liberal commie
