@JimmyTraina As long as we're micromanaging game broadcasts using multiple announcers, there should also be a "calm" setting for less chatter, less hype, and fewer features, one that lets the broadcast breathe. Like Ralph Kiner calling a Sunday afternoon #Mets game in 1971.

I’m gonna predict now that NBC hires a full time MLB analyst next season. The experiment of using one analyst from each team is not helping or enhancing the broadcast at all.

John @Buccigross's #MFrozenFour, announcing partner @ColbyCohen36 sounds so much like Milwaukee #Brewers analyst @VinnyRottino that I've been waiting for his scouting report on some pitching prospect from Kenosha. #CawlidgeHawkey

The @NCAAIceHockey #MFrozenFour is underway now on ESPN2, live from Las Vegas. @Buccigross, calling his 13th Frozen Four, is joined by 2009 Most Outstanding Player @ColbyCohen36. Always a great event. 🏒

@HRBlockAnswers Have you corrected the sales tax rate for City of Milwaukee addresses, which was incorrect in the 2024 Wisconsin Deluxe & State software, for calculating Use Tax? It's a total of 7.9%, which is 5.0% Wisconsin + 0.9% Milwaukee County + ***2.0%*** Milwaukee City.

Completely agree with @DimTillard that @MLB teams need to feature ballpark organists during day games. The @Brewers 7th inning stretch with the wimpy, prerecorded accordion version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame just ain't cutting it.

Staying at the WestCord hotel in Eindhoven Last night I asked them to warm my room. They said they'd send two radiators. They never arrived. At breakfast I asked again. they said they'd send them. They never arrived. I asked at lunchtime. They said they'd send them. I'm waiting

@kjf3009 Classic! Bob Costas also featured that story in a funny interview fairly recently. He fed Ueck softballs and Ueck clobbered them.

@bobwait I saw Al Michaels’ story on Rich Eisen’s show regarding Howard Costello and the word “truculent”.

The soundtrack of Wisconsin summers.

Adam McCalvy@AdamMcCalvy

It’s the day we all hoped would never come. Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brewers for the last 54 years and “Mr. Baseball” to fans around the world, passed away overnight, according to his family and the team. He was 90. Summers in Wisconsin will never be the same.

Bob Wait@bobwait·16 Oca

Yep - anyone who can leave the taciturn Eddie Murray in tears laughing is a Hall of Fame raconteur.

Tom@Haudricourt

Bob Uecker fans who need something to smile about today should go to YouTube and call up his Hall of Fame induction speech. It is a 20-minute master class in self-deprecating humor. Hall of Fame players on stage were left in stitches.

English

Bob Wait@bobwait·16 Oca

@kjf3009 Thanks, Ken. He'll be missed is an understatement. Loved his Hall of Fame speech, and glad he got the chance to celebrate one last NL CentraI title with the team. Trust you've seen the Letterman show bit in which Norm MacDonald tells a story of Ueck and John Fogerty - classic!

Kenneth Flint@kjf3009·16 Oca

@bobwait My deepest condolences. He was a joy to listen to (said as a fan of Cleveland) both in close games and in blowouts.

President Biden Archived@POTUS46Archive·31 Eki

Inflation has now fallen to 2.1% – nearly at its 2% target. While critics said we needed a recession to lower inflation, we did it while creating 16 million jobs and growing our economy at the fastest rate of any presidential term in the 21st century.

@Dave_Steele Dave - as long as we're advocating for good ideas, we need the 90 Stadium bus back! Not every ticket holder patronizes the bars that run shuttles. 🚌

@Haudricourt @MKEPressClub Congratulations, Tom! I'm old enough to recall the Journal Sentinel promos featuring yourself and @DrewOlsonMKE as the tag team tandem on the Brewers beat.

Incredibly honored to be elected to the @MKEPressClub Hall of Fame class for 2024. Congrats to fellow inductees James Angeli, Lee Bergquist, Gretchen Ehlke, Jessie Garcia, Ron Smith and Kent Wainscott. Looking forward to ceremony on Oct. 25 at Saint Kates The Arts Hotel.

this morning, my beloved 2002 Toyota Avalon met its end on I-94 outside Johnson Creek. I loved that car more than I love most people and am emotionally in shambles, please respect my privacy at this time

@BNightengale So far, so good! We'll see how they do down the stretch.

The Brewers, with their Cy Young winner (Corbin Burnes) gone, their manager (Craig Counsell) gone, their top 2 veteran starters (Brandon Woodruff and Wade Miley) out for the year, their All-Star closer (Devin Williams) still out, and their All-Star OF (Christian Yelich) out indefinitely, keep on rolling, 3-2, over the Cubs. They have a 6-game lead in the NL Central, and 11 games over their bitter rivals, Chicago Cubs. Take a bow, Pat Murphy, who should be the unanimous NL manager of the Year.

@MerriamWebster I place the comma outside the close-quote in most instances other than the depiction of dialogue. If the comma is not part of a title, for instance, it belongs outside the quotes. mytwoinnings.blogspot.com/2009/01/gramma…
