4/6 Astros (Backe) at Cobs (Zambrano), 1:20 PM CT, WGN

[Magnetic Curses]

it's america overkill. why should we have to sit through 2 terrible songs before watching something we actually like?

[dew1679666265]

That dude nailed God Bless America --- one of the best I've ever heard.

 

He's doing great on the National Anthem as well.

 

You have no idea how difficult those songs are to sing -- it takes a fantastic range, not to mention the fact that 40,000+ have their eyes and ears on you.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure who he is but he definitely did one of the best versions of both songs I've ever heard.

Because we'll stick a boot in your ass if you don't. It's the American way.

[bhogg]

I bet the players love those songs. They get to hear them 200 times per year.

i thought he messed up some words, and mispronounced another. it's "perilous" right?

If it offends you that much, there's always the channel up/down and mute buttons. :D

[Outshined_One]

I'm willing to blame Carlos Mencia for everything horrible that has happened in the past 3 years. The man is pure, distilled evil.

It is perilous, I didn't notice the mispronounced words, though. Still sounded better than most I've heard.

[bhogg]

I have no ill will towards Pie, and to be quite honest, he deserves the CF job. . . . .but. . .. . I really like Reed Johnson.

oh, i changed the channel, make no mistake. for one, i think it's embarassing to watch a grown man sing either of those songs. also, i think it's ridiculous to watch the star-spangled banner on tv. do you stand and put your hand over your heart?

 

i used to stand for nikolai volkov until my parents made me stop. but that soviet national anthem, now THERE is a song that gives you goosebumps.

[Chocolate Milk]

Blue uni's are the worst thing about you Carlos. Damn you.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bourn singled to right field

Did you also mimic the Iron Sheik''s "AMERICA, HAWPT-TOO!" line, as well?

[VanceJergins]

ugh

[inari]

Ick. This is not looking good at all.

:lol: What if Volkov sung the National Anthem? Would that be better, or just sacrilege to you?

[Andy]

Well, that's great.

[manbearcub]

Alright, good start.

[Outshined_One]

I'd like to thank the Astros for hitting Erstad third today.

[Chocolate Milk]

Two grounders that found holes.

i would give mad props to volkov if he could sing those songs, but i don't think he's alive enough to sing them.

[Outshined_One]

Zambrano is a caffeine addict?

 

Color me shocked!

[bhogg]

3rd generation ump?

 

Were they all that good or did they have an advantage?

[dew1679666265]

I must say, I hate the bar at the top of the WGN telecast. It seems far too big.
