Assuming you're still a Cubs fan, then you know that the only guy that still worked that fast was Maddox. Now, baseball is just a snooze show. A very, very expensive snooze show.

[yield 2 the right]

Thank you!!!!
So AP paid for making the “O” look good, an error and a quick at 1st base so far...

[golfisnr1]

just turned it off when Bambi appeared in the Broadcast booth.

I can't watch a f*cking baseball game without this communist MF hamming it up.

This is Bullsh*t

I am so mad at Fox. How could they agree to that?! Being a Cardinal fan I couldn’t wait for the game tonight. Once again, politics manages to ruin everything. Keep the politicians out of sports!!!

[darkangel82]

I’m not too thrilled with it either. I just want to see baseball without this nonsense.

[Mr. Mulliner]

I’ve got the game on the XM radio with no TV. I was hoping for some good pics from the game, but all I get on here are endless pictures of zero and other politicians throwing baseballs. I’m sick and tired of it.

[CaptRon]

More happens between pitches than most peolpe realize.

[CARDINALRULES]

WhooHooo way to go Yadi!

[MsMoose]

I am so mad! I’m a Phillies fan and was so excited to see so many of our guys in the lineup. However, I just turned it off and wrote to Fox to tell them why. It’s infuriating, I am so disgusted I can’t believe it.

Is there nowhere to hide from the Big O?

Going back to lurking now. . .thanks for listening.

[CASchack]

I left this thread hoping the fascination with politicians throwing baseballs would die down. Nope.

Obama has finally left the booth, so we can hopefully watch some baseball.

[John W]

Thank God that half inning is over. On with the baseball game.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Funny you should mention Maddox, I thought he was a school
kid backing up the bull pen catcher, the first time I saw him. LOL

He looked soo young... oh wait,, he was....
Whoa that was a long time ago

[Babalu]

Finally! Thank goodness for commercial breaks!

[OldDeckHand]

"My point is, if they keep themselves in shape so much, how come so many of then end up on the DL?"

No, I get your point. They are in better shape, but they just don't play through the injuries like they used to because their value is so much more.

And, it's not only conditioning that better. It's the physical therapy, the nutritionist and the prescription-strength anti-inflammatories that might lead one to believe that these guys would never miss a game. But, they do with great frequency.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

I muted when bho came on. Listening on ESPN radio.

[EyeGuy]

“O is such an attention whore that they may have to pry him out of the booth.”

Buck and McCarver just sacrificed a pair of oxen, and a spotless he goat to him.

Disgusting.

[Babalu]

Because he’s a moron?
