first of all, don’t ruin my elation with logic… :P and second… I think a lot of people thought that Demp was really reaching to be a SP, and was going to get SHELLED in every start. He’s pitched very well. Better than Lilly or Hill, that’s for sure, and certainly better than Marquis.

If im being disrespectful or mean to anyone or calling anyone a name let me know.

But calling a picture what it is not a crime, I know your meaning in life is to attack me and argue with someone once a night.

Imma watch the game and talk about that, seeing as you would rather try to be politically correct when your wasting your breath ill let you respond to yourself up here.

Personally I think it's kinda fun.

I like Uecker, and he seems to be good-spirited about the rivalry – unlike the Marty Brennaman sort. There are literally millions of people who are much less palatable to hear during a ballgame than Uecker.

the best thing about listening

to a Brewers game on XM is that when the other team does something good, you hear dead space for 5 seconds or so because Uecker can’t stand to say what it is. the guy is funny. I think he forgets he is doing radio. It makes me laugh. Its like he is trying to make the fans have a few seconds of denial before he tells them the bad news.

It must be a trailerpark way of communicating…
