Carlos Zambrano Pitches No Hitter, We Didn't See It

I missed it thanks to WGN and their wimpy assed programming.

Congrats Carlos for throwing the first no hitter since Milt Pappas 1972 nono against Montreal.

You Can Catch It All On WGN (bullshit)

The Cubs and Astros Sunday night game from Miller Park in Milwaukee will be seen on WGN-TV in Chicago only, not on WGN America. ESPN has a Sunday night exclusive window for the baseball, but Major League Baseball and ESPN have graciously allowed us to bring the game to Chicago.
For Cub fans outside Chicago, depending on the weather in Chicago for the White Sox and Tigers telecast, ESPN may be doing "look-ins" on our coverage throughout the night.
.....
It seems in this day and age that the cable watchers get screwed out of watching baseball anymore. TBS shows games that are blackouts most of the time here and The Superstation WGN ain't so much a superstation but rather a station that's no different than any other cable channels.  Unfortly, due to ESPN excusiveness, which isn't saying much since ESPN would  rather show SportsCenter repeats up the arse rather than the day baseball games that they used to show years ago.  But WGN Chicago is much different than the Superstation WGN which is more concern of showing America's Funniest Videos rather than the days of yore which you could see most of Cub games before Cable got too full of iself and big money and infocommercials took over.

Yes it would been nice to see Big Z throw a no hitter but alas that different happen.  WGN Chicago TV although mostly a CW station still manages to show a few more Cub games than the Baloney that Superstation WGN is the place for baseball for the Sox n Cubs.  Bullshit.  In a perfect world, like about twenty years ago, there was more baseball and more programming on less channels.  Nowadays we have more channels but less programming and higher prices due to "programming'.

What other line of bullshit are they going to feed us?

Congrats Big Z.  Too bad we didn't get to see it thanks to Hurricane Ike and the money grabbing basturds of ESPN and WGN.
