Please add joyful positive here!!!!

I know I get a rep as a downer, but I've been listening to all three of those calls for about 20 minutes now and it's just great. Each one of the three calls is fun for me... Len just goes crazy and breaks out an "unbelievable", which is both a crutch and a great line when said correctly... Pat's great voice inflection when the ball is hit, he's one of the few announcers that gets how just a subtle change in your voice can display something important to the listener. Of course, Ron is screaming and laughing and that is awesome to hear coming from him in my opinion... Uecker isn't happy happy at the start of the call, but you can sense the optimism in his voice and then the disappointment when the ball is hit (For some reason you can't hear it on that call but you can hear the crowd very well) and all he can spit out is "Ramirez just won the game for the Cubs... Gone...". It is as if in one moment he realizes the game has been lost and that also the Cubs have become a threat, and his inflection and his call signify that understanding to everyone that is listening but yet it isn't overbearing. Some announcers (i.e., the coat-tailers Chip and Joe) would have to use two-hundred words to say what Uecker said in nine.

Why do you always have to be so negative, BC?  Chip and Joe would've only used 150 wrds.

I was tempted to just go to bed after that 5 run first.  This one was worth staying up until 1:30 AM for.

Hell yeah.

I dunno what else to say. So I will not say anything else.

Go ahead and laugh. What you don't know is that Izzy is a practicing proctologist and he was just giving A-Ram an exam. Or maybe not.

It was also memorable for me because I was carded when I bought a beer.

BTW you must be rolling with a laptop + hotel's wi-fi.

You've got to be the hippest old-timer around, Stew.  God love ya.

Get the old-timers out to Wrigley and magic happens. Maybe I should fly my Pops out for a game.

[Slaky!]

Hope some of you morans can get out there today. Should be a beautiful day for a Cubs win.

Friday is normally my day off, but I flip-flopped this week and was off yesterday instead.

The Cubs' off day allowed me time to actually get some things done, but I'd have rather seen this.

I have a rehearsal dinner to attend tonight. The groom's a Cubs fan, though, so I'd imagine there will be time enough to dwell on the highlights.

As a short follow-up... A couple friends of mine are getting married tonight. Their rehearsal was yesterday around 4. Beforehand, though, the wedding party et alia attended the game... which means they had to leave around the 6th or 7th.

My dad (age 73) was at the game Wednesday with some of the grandkids for the Colorado sweep.

Wow. Your positive is back.

I've been upgraded to cautiously optimistic. The starting pitching (except Z) going to shit recently is what's preventing a return of my positive.

Hell of a time for the bullpen to step it up, though.

My hallergies to these fucking fans has returned.
