the play by play is really bad, but it has nothing to do with my distaste for his bumbling goofy country bumpkin sounding ass. he's not good at speaking. he isn't funny or anything (as far as a redeeming quality) and i really have no idea what the basis is for saying he's solid..his analysis is generally as meatbally and conventional old school wisdom as anyone (not that most of his peers in his profession are generally much better - so maybe that's where you're coming from?) i don't like a single thing about him. the pbp is just icing on the cake. Couldn't agree more; it's lowest common denominator pandering that ultimately isn't that far off from Hawk. I certainly don't expect radio color guys to be amazing, but I think a big part of why guys like Moreland and Coomer seem so bad is the Cubs have had such great color guys in the TV booth between Bob and JD.
