Do you get WGN, the Chicago station, or WGN America, the one that goes on on the cable?
WGN America doesn't do baseball anymore.
Found it! The person that started the thread should edit their post to include this link:

Yeah lot of talk about the ankle last night, but I'm afraid the knee might turn out to be the major issue. Lets hope for the best on that MRI today.
I missed the discussion yesterday about Wrigley experiences. I've been to two games.
The first I don't remember much except for the cubs winning.
The second was on August 18th, 2002. In this particular game, Sammy Sosa collided with Mark Bellhorn during a pop fly. He then missed the next 9 games with back problems that gave him periodic troubles for the rest of his career. But hey, the cubs won.

Missed the in person record discussion. I've lost track but I think I'm at 8 games in Wrigley and only seen them lose twice (maybe three there was one I was in the right field bleachers and drank so much I couldn't read Sosa's name - but I'm pretty sure they won that).
Only two loses I saw were 1) Mark Grace's return to Wrigley 2) the game that Milton Bradley forgot how many outs there were and flipped the ball into the crowd with two outs after grandstanding. I was with a church group on that one and might have yelled some things my pastor had to talk to me about later.
I guess I'm pretty lucky with live attendance game. ISU was 5-0 in my first 5 games which mostly came in the Walden years and included the Marv Seiler game.

Yep, I think the team knows it's bad news but just waiting for MRI to confirm. I fear an ACL announcement is coming later today.
If it winds up being worst case with Schwarber, I'll be very sad that I won't be popping Schwarboners all summer but this team can kick plenty of *** without him. Crazy to think that losing a player like him sucks but might not have a huge impact on the season. If we had a Schwarber who went down a few years ago, the tiny shred of hope we had would have been lost completely. We're really ******* good.
Yep, I'm trying to look on the bright side that there will be more at bat's available for Soler and Javy now which will help with their development. Both of those guys have a less than stellar recent injury history, though Javy's seem much more like a fluke than any disturbing trend.
I think you mean Corey Patterson 2.0 because Junior Lake never sniffed Soler's prospect status
