Speaking of totally unlistenable, did anyone else notice how factually terrible Buck was during the ASG?  During the first inning, a single to center was "a single to right".  And he called an 82 mph Lincecum change his "fastball".  He was especially terrible during that game.  Must have been too busy watching the Bachelor to prepare.

He also misjudged more than one fly ball as a potential homerun (raising his voice, etc....).

I think you're right - he was simply devastated that the Canadian chick kept the guy who looks like Greg Brady. (My wife watches it, ok?)  OK?!

I don't have a clue what the last part meant. But the fact that Buck made that many factual errors during the broadcast kind of flies in the face of all the retarded, "He's competent, he's better than Chip Caray, at least he knows the game..." cocksmoke I hear once in awhile in his defense. So fuck anybody who ever said anything nice about him and his ass-chin. I want to punch his throat with a penny nail stuck betwixt my ring and middle fingers. I want this more than a million dollars or world peace. I'd just squander those things. But that punch, I'd make that one count.

As long as he doesn't die, right?
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Right. I want him to suffer in silence.

At some point they might. But I've been thinking about punching Joe Buck for a long, long while.

This current Santo-less spell has been nice.  Moreland has been a pleasure to listen too.

I don't think he's fantastic, but in limited exposure he's been a wonderful fresh voice.
It's nice to have someone able to let Pat work and actually be a plus with color
commentary.  While we're going to be stuck with Santo for a while, maybe they can
convince him not to travel with the team or something.

Also, the fucking Santo interview format commercials WGN radio is running about how
he's such the uber-fan make me so sad.

Garrrrrrrrrry Meier manages to be totally unfunny and unlistenable in 10 second promos for his WGN show. Good work.

I wasn't paying full attention, but did Pat pull Judd off the mic in that inning once something important actually happened?

Don't know.

But Houston TV didn't even bother following the ball Soriano hit to end the game.

Is there any chance that Ricketts agrees to dump Santo (possibly at the advice of WGN), and they go get Grace to come back and do radio?  Grace's contract is up after 2010.  The buyout can't be that bad for the final season.

In the spirit of Steve Stone, I think we should start said rumor.

Grace?  Really?

Yea.  I mean I know I am posting on a message board where the only good broadcasters ever born are Len, Bob, Pat, and Vin Scully....but...

I think he'd be a good compromise in the sense that he's better than Santo (then again, who isn't?), and he still satisfies those that want a popular Cub in that spot.  Getting rid of Santo could be the toughest PR thing this team has dealt with since...well, they let Grace walk away. 

Otto and Moreland seem like nice enough guys, and aren't the worst ideas (unless you have other candidates in mind)...but I think Grace's somewhat goofy nature might work a bit better with Hughes.

Moreland would be great but he's not leaving Austin.

Maybe they can buy Joe Buck out of his deal, hire him and shift Len over to the radio side. That'd be sweet.
