I have precious few vacation days, but one is being used today. I have burgers ready to grill, I have relatively cheap beer and a 52 inch tv just waiting for baseball.
You are a great American.

I'm in heaven: today is the first Opening Day where, not only do I not have to skip work to watch the Cubs ("blue flu"), IT IS my job to watch the Cubs. Boing.

Here's hoping you get to run the white W flag up that pole.

Ah, let the irrational hoping begin! I watched Major League over the weekend (annual Opening Day tradition) just to get ready. Here's to hoping we won't need to copy and paste the f-bomb thread too often today!

4 hours until anything Cubs-related comes on. Think I'll pass the time by trolling a co-worker. I'm going to text her and tell her I need to see her in my office, and see how much time passes before I get a text saying something to the effect of 'Fuck You'.

Is there any way to get the game online or via iphone, if you are in the chicago area or are they all blacked out??
My understanding is it's blacked out (unless your cable/satellite provider has its own mobile/online platform that you can use).

Don't worry, I'll text you the outcome.This whole work thing sucks. The last four years, I was able to just skip class to watch the games; now I have to DVR the game and avoid BN, Twitter and Facebook til after I watch it.

Unless I am wrong -- and I am never wrong -- there are no blackouts for the radio broadcast via the MLB app. Only the video is blocked.Is there any way to get the game online or via iphone, if you are in the chicago area or are they all blacked out??

I have this idea for a super hero, whose name is Mr. Right, because he is never wrong. His catch phrase would be: "I am NEVER wrong!" But that would be the only thing he ever says.Unless I am wrong -- and I am never wrong -- there are no blackouts for the radio broadcast via the MLB app. Only the video is blocked.
