Rizzo called up

[Derwood]

 

I didn't hear any Chicago accent there

Pat Boyle is pretty much the only good sports media person to watch CSN. Gail Fischer is ok for what she does.

 

I like Kustok because I can't make up my mind about her looks, she has a ridiculous Chicago accent and her dad shot her mom.

I find her to be delightful though I don't recall ever hearing her speak.

 

She does a lot of the "sideline" stuff for Blackhawks games, right?

I think what he's hearing is a lack of a terrible jersey or ny accent.

Yeah, I think half the players are trying to get with her. Kane surprised her with a bday cake once and the sexual tension was palpable.

No, seriously, she's got a very strong Chicago accent that is obvious to anybody who is not in the midwest, at least compared to your typical tv personality who do their best to eliminate any regional accent so as to further their career potential. The terrible Jersey accent is actually south jersey, which is a philly/delaware valley accent, and it is abominable. Staten Island/Long Island is a much stronger land of accents around here. I was actually surprised when I first started meeting Jersey people who didn't really have noticeable accents.

 

Kustok sounds like a slightly toned down version of all my female cousins.

[Mark Priors Calves]

She has a very noticeable Chicago accent. I have a hard time finding her attractive because of it.

[SouthSideRyan]

There's nothing confusion about her looks. She's hot.

[Tracer Bullet]

She is hotter when she doesn't talk.

It's 2 things for me. My default with her is I think she's pretty hot. But her voice makes me question that, plus, when I stare too long I tend to over scrutinize.

 

My wife finds her very pretty but tough to listen to. She also finds Bob Rohrman to be disgusting.

Doesn't everyone?

Joe Perillo looks sleazy as hell.

That article and the comments are a little depressing. The implication is that some scouts are worried he can't hit advanced velocity. It seems to me like that's exactly the kind of hole AAA, full of marginal MLB veteran arms, would suck at exploiting.

That article doesn't imply that at all. The article talks about his swing change this season and the implication mentioned in the comments has to do with his struggles last year (thus, prior to said adjustments), which we are all aware of.

She does alot of work with CSN and the Hawks. She does have a monotone voice and could stand a voice coach. Tragic about losing a parent. Her brother played QB at Northwestern and she's dating another former Wildcat QB.

 

The Cubs used to be sponsored by Bert Weinman Ford on tv and Linn Burton would do live commercials from the WGN studios of Addison. There's your Chicago accent. Immediately following the game, they'd switch live to WGN again and Debbie Drake would do exercises for the ladies. Do a YouTube search for her and you'll find a great Chicago accent, amongst other attributes.. No wonder my Dad would yell at Jack Brickhouse to hurry up with the post game.

I hope he goes 0/4 with 4 Ks just to watch the meltdown. Goodness.

I hope you stub your toe really, really hard in the next few hours.
