there's probably about a 6 or 7% chance of that happening (40% chance to make the playoffs, maybe 50% chance to win the wild card game, then maybe 35% chance of winning a series against the cubs). that does not seem like something that a competent baseball announcer should be predicting. Well, that's the issue. Hrabosky is a lunatic homer. Most Cards fans I know can't stand the guy. It always baffles me that a quality franchise like the Cardinals has such a decidedly mediocre broadcast team. Dan McLaughlin is a fawning cheerleader, Hrobosky is an absolute joke, McCarver is a windbag and Shannon is just okay. I can't stand any of them other than Edmonds, but Shannon is the worst by a wide margin. He's not only terrible calling the game, his mush mouthed mispronunciations are absolutely awful as well.
