With a 9-19 record, you can be sure MLB’s national TV partners aren’t going to go near the Houston Astros. When was the last time the San Diego Padres got any love?

Yep, different rules apply for different teams. Especially the Cubs.

America’s favorite losers (already on way to 95 losses or more at 9-17) still will get the national treatment this weekend. Saturday, Cubs-St. Louis will be one of two regional games on Fox Sports 1.

Then ESPN is going all in for Sunday night’s game. Dan Shulman and John Kruk will broadcast the game from the rightfield bleachers.

ESPN also is bringing its Baseball Tonight studio show to Wrigley. Karl Ravech and Barry Larkin will work from a set located at Clark and Addison.

For ESPN, the hook is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field. You’ll hear plenty of stories about the old ballpark.

However, the Cubs got the same treatment last year and will again next year when Wrigley turns 101. The networks love doing games from Wrigley, and the Cubs still have national appeal, especially when they are playing the Cardinals.
