When I first heard Keith Moreland I thought it was Tim McCarver...Then the game went on for a couple of minutes and Keith didnt make any over the top, pompous, and mostly inaccurate game descriptions. So I had to listen to find out it was Keith. I think he has a good career in announcing if he wants to go that way.

It's Pat. He makes anyone better.

 

When Moreland was on with Len, he was worse than Brenly, which is saying something.

I like Brenly... then again, I liked what I heard from Moreland when he was with Pat too.

Was it Ron or Harry that once went on a long rant about cracker jack prizes?

Harry

 

I also remember watching an early April game when I was in college. Harry was going on and on about the coffee. It was the best tasting coffee he had ever had. He asked Steve Stone what they put in the coffee when Stoney finally let Harry know that it was tea.

Pat is the best. It's so similar to an older brother taking care of his younger sibling...while just happening to be on live radio covering Cubs games.

Pat: "It looks like some rain is on the way."

Ron: "So far... it just does not smell like rain."

Pat: "How does rain smell?"

Ron: "It's a wet smell."

Pat: "Well, ask a silly question..."

*wild pitch*

Pat: "There's a little bit of raggedness to this game tonight. Balls in the dirt, some mishandled plays in the field."

Ron: "That's quite a word, 'raggedness.' That's pretty good. I'd be afraid to say it... because I didn't know it was a word."

Pat: "It has kind of a wet smell to it."

After a pitcher is called for a balk.

Ron:"I don't remember ever being called for a balk while playing."

Pat:"I don't remember you doing to much pitching back in your day Ron?"

[Bote McBoteface]

Was it the 2003 season opener that his hair caught on fire?

[Tyrant]

After a pitcher is called for a balk.

Ron:"I don't remember ever being called for a balk while playing."

Pat:"I don't remember you doing to much pitching back in your day Ron?"

 

That one was really funny, one page ago.

This one is really funny now

*9th inning, after Cobs had just given up a huge lead*

 

RON: Andy Maizer just brought me a cup of coffee. I didn't bother telling him I'd rather have a double shot of scotch.

It was a few years ago, when Rich Hill was first called up (if my memory serves me correctly), and he was on the bases. I can't remember who got a hit, but when Rich was rounding 3rd, he fell down.

 

The noises that came from Ron were terrific.

*Camera man keeps closing in on this guy/ girl kissing eachother throughout the inning.*

 

Harry:

 

"Oh, I get it! He kissed her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls!"

 

CLASSIC!

[CliftonHanger]

Ron: Is it just me patrick, or is the grass longer here than it is at wrigley?

Pat: Well, we're playing on turf today Ron.

[doschi]

I remember when I was in college, one afternoon in '98 while sitting on the couch watching a Cubs game with a certain sort of tubular device being passed amongst friends, Steve Stone remarked, "The fog just keeps rolling in and out of right field. Kinda reminds me of my college years..."

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The one about "he kisses her on the strikes" has been repeated with various broadcasters' names filled in pretty much since baseball began being broadcast.

Brandt: You never went to college...

The Dude: Oh, no I did, but I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings... smoking a lot of thai stick... breaking into the ROTC... and bowling. To tell you the truth Brandt, I don't remember most of it.
