Tug McGraw has passed, and so has his birthday!

Get to the f'ing point

Yes this is really a professional broadcaster, rambling on and on aimlessly while a game is being played. What is the point he is leading to? The history of the Cardinals' "storied franchise"? Jack Clark's TV work? Whitey Herzog going into the hall of fame? Something about Lou Brock? Who the hell knows.

We Lose, How About That!!!

On the Cusp of History!

5/16/08. Jayson Werth has hit 3 homeruns. A solo, 3 run, and a grand slam. Could Jayson achieve the impossible by hitting a 1,2,3 and 4 run home run all in the same game? A feat so rare and difficult, it had never been accomplished before in the history of the majors! Late in the game Jayson steps to the plate. There are two outs, the bases are empty. Can he do it? Can he hit a 2 run home run? Did I mention the bases were empty?

Classic TMac from '08

Bottom of the 8th inning, tie game 2-2. Your team's best slugger/former MVP is at the plate. What a better time to conduct an interview in the stands! Of course Howard hits a home run and TMac makes one of his awful transitions instead of letting Harry take over immediately. Also note TMac uses a pretty much normal voice instead of his phony baloney game show host voice that he uses today. Why can't he talk like that now? 5/1/08.
