Peeps,

If you're interested in following the Cubs' Minor League affiliates' games, I've compiled a bit of a how-to list below. While Luke's Minor League Roundup is great, nothing beats listening/watching live. I've tried to include all of the iPhone apps as well. Sorry Android users - you're dead to me.

First of all, the MiLB app blows. It's $5 to watch the Gameday/pitch-by-pitch info that you get for free on the web, there's no audio, and it only covers the AAA teams. I don't get it. It doesn't integrate with an MiLB.tv account, either. Plus, it was free last year. Lame.

AAA - Iowa Cubs

iPhone app (link will likely open in iTunes)
Kinda cheap looking app, makes me think of an old 8-bit NES game, frankly, but there is a live pitch-by-pitch Gameday stream. No radio stream.
Web radio stream. iPhone/iPad radio stream. Only active during games.

AA - Tennessee Smokies

iPhone app
Again, cheap app, with not nearly as much info as the IA-Cubs app. No Gameday, but there's a link to the live game box score on MiLB.com, but this appears to be broken at the moment. However (and this is rad), there is a direct link to the radio stream. Nevertheless, if you want the web-based radio stream only,
Radio stream. Boom, there it is. Only active during games.

A+ - Peoria Chiefs

iPhone app
It's barely an app, really. Just a splash screen with a "listen live" button", but that's really what you're looking for, isn't it? Only active during games.
Web radio stream (windows) (mac)
Direct iPhone/iPad radio stream

A- - Daytona Cubs

No app.
Web radio stream. No iPhone radio stream.

A-- - Boise Hawks

No app.
Web radio stream. No iPhone radio stream.


Now go get your prospectin' on!
