[Internet Apex]

Que Huarrd's ANGERR.

At the bar tonight, he did indeed let out an "I fuckin' hate Garry Meier!" So there you go.

Let's just say I'm happy I wasn't near a radio and only was privy to his punchable face on TV with no sound.

Have you actually listened to Grace very much?  He's not as good as you think.

This is very true.

He's been saddled with bad partners and has gotten better, but great he ain't.

I'm surprised anyone thinks he's good.

So who do you want in perfect Slaky word of positive?  I'm just looking for solutions that might make some sense, because I will jump out of my moving car if I have to listen to another season of Santo.   

I will agree that Grace is not awesome...but I think he's passable.

Again, I also think it's 10x easier for the Cubs to shove Santo out if they can replace him with someone who brings a little more "warm and fuzzies" to the Kool-Aid drinkers that have been propping up Santo.  I just don't think Moreland or Otto get that job done.   Whether or not we like it, this situation is a bit more complicated because of the people and PR sensitivity involved.  Tis all I'm saying.

I nominate Slaky himself, just so I can hear someone call Ryan Braun 39 different varieties of "douche" on-air.

You underestimate Slak's versatility in this particular area.

Oh, you would have loved it.  Garry must have pointed out how much he loves everything about Chicago and the Cubs at least a dozen times.

Guys, slow down - I'm just too enamored with my current position. There's no way life can get any better than this. So I'll have to withdraw my name from consideration at this time.

That said, LDA you and I and everyone else here, whether we love, hate or are indifferent to Ron Santo as a broadcaster, must realize the only thing that's going to eject him from the booth permanently is the bony hand of the reaper. I'll be honest, that sucks. Ron Santo has dealt with a lot of shit. Does that mean we should enjoy listening to him scream through entire Cub games? No, that's up to you.

The guy is going to die, probably sooner than later. And you'll have a new guy in the booth with Pat soon enough.

It would have been easier had Len just dug up an old Bob Greene column and read it on the air.

He also talked about how much Chicago winters suck!

And what a shame it is that the Pirates don't draw more fans.

At least he didn't mention the Santo statue thing.

That's what I would have been cringing in anticipation of.

Of course, he probably did so much Santo-propping in the bottom of the 6th that he was spent...

[Andy]

Santo's self-propping, both of his "legs" have kickstands.

That's screaming for a some sort of Photoshop.
