The good thing is we're going to get an awesome over-the-top celebration when Strop gets out of this.

[jersey cubs fan]

i hate listening on the radio so much

 

pat's excited voice when bad things happen infuriates me

 

i think that's part of why i'm one of the game thread lunatics today

Your dislike of Pat is really, really weird.

 

I don't really have an opinion on Pat the broadcaster. I like Pat the person, as much as I know of him, fine. But I'm far from the only person here who has expressed similar sentiments about how the excitement in his voice when bad things happen confuses the hell out of them. I'm hearing that cadence and I think Rizzo is knocking a ball through the infield...NOPE it's Matt Adams making a great play. Sweet. Now I'm jumping to the exact opposite emotion from what I expected.

I'm not a huge fan of Pat but I love that this sort of thing upsets people. It's not like it's Coomer blabbing incoherently for a couple minutes. Pat's going to react to a great play and describe that great play accurately. It's not difficult to follow along, assuming you know how to interpret human expressions of emotion.

Of course Miggy allows the runner to get to 2nd. Has he ever successfully blocked a ball in the dirt? Why do his pitchers still throw them?

[17 Seconds]

diaz looks like rey mysterio jr

[Sammy Sofa]

A bunch of real silly geeses, I tell you what.

Are there radio guys who don't do this? Len does it all the time -- the difference is you can see the play.

This seems like a tad of an over reaction.

Diaz is like bizarro Ahmed, killing everyone except the Cubs

Yeah, I'm not blaming him for doing it that way. I just can't handle it as a listener. My fault, not his.

[Sammy Sofa]

Holliday's Wooly Willy-beard in his player photo offends me.

Could just have Pat take the day off and have Ron do PBP the whole game.

While Caminero is busy killing Ahmed.

Petition to bypass the filter just to say the actual name of the game.

[UMFan83]

I feel like Zobrist has led off every other inning.

[17 Seconds]

[David]
