Over city

**yisman** · 04-08-13, 01:45 PM

WGN guys announcing thought the ball was blowing in

talk about oblivious

How do you announce a day game at Wrigley without finding out which way the wind is blowing?

you mean 9.5?

**simmy17** · 04-08-13, 01:45 PM

Wow is the wind that crazy ? according to espn 3 runs off a ball into right center field

**PerfectGrape** · 04-08-13, 01:50 PM

They said wind was blowing out and its a hitter's day. Not sure what broadcast you're watching.

**TankHankerous** · 04-08-13, 01:51 PM

It's windy there for sure. Not only is it a big topic of conversation for the announcers, you can tell the players are aware and talking about it too. As I type this the announcers are chortling about taking the over and who's on the over, that's rich!

**jinxpro13** · 04-08-13, 02:02 PM

brewers should cover this by themselves in 2 innings.

true, look for some late runs in the 6th and 7th innings. what an awesome 1st to start either way!

**ChicagoBlackhawk** · 04-08-13, 02:36 PM

Tank, got any picks for NHL tonight? Ill be watching the NHL forum to see if you got anything. Well talk there

**simmy17** · 04-08-13, 04:28 PM

Got there in the end

**PerfectGrape** · 04-08-13, 04:36 PM

Cubbies come through on the over.

"Most runs by a MLB team was scored by the Chicago Colts on June 29th 1897 vs the Louisville Colonels...the score of the game was 36-7.

Most runs in the modern era (after 1900) occurred this year August 22nd 2007 when the Texas Rangers won 30-3 over the Baltimore Orioles.

Most combined runs for both teams in a game occurred on August 25th 1922 when the Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 26 to 23. Remember the game well...it was one of those days when the wind was howling out of Wrigley and any flyball was ending up in the seats."

**darrell74** · 04-08-13, 04:42 PM

Had to sweat out the over at 10+108 at 5dimes.
Wasn't worth the stress, however

**PerfectGrape** · 04-08-13, 04:44 PM

Cmon walkoff grandslam

**darrell74** · 04-08-13, 04:53 PM

Wow, haven't seen that.
Wind changed direction, blew fron right field, knocked down Starlin Castro's potential walk off grand slam.
That thing landed on the warning track, where Aoki caught it.

An inning ago, wind was blowing out, that would have been a grand slam.
Tough break for the Cubs backers.

I was watching WGN. Obviously you were not watching when they talked about how they thought the wind was blowing in.

**TankHankerous** · 04-08-13, 05:36 PM

I saw Braun do a swirling gesture to his 3rd base coach in the first inning....

They don't call it the windy city for nothing!

Congrats to OVER bettors!
