Shea is horrible
He has a movie coming out. Cracking a couple of decent jokes about the old SNL cast.
First Cubs Game
Was a Cubs/Brooklyn Dodgers game. Said his brother covered his eyes the first time he walked out to the field, then uncovered them so he could take it all in at once.
Kind of a cool story. Then he almost caught a foul ball.
Wood Story
Said someone at Wrigley convinced him a few years ago that he was Kerry Wood’s brother. 9 innings later he found out it was just some guy.
To Sutcliff:
“You’re at ESPN, you can’t even like sports.”
Thus ends my Bill Murray transcribing
But he did end with this gem to Sut and Ryan:
“I’ve got peanuts and I’ve got popcorn, if you guys get bored up here.”
I hate when Z strikes out....
He just looks so pissed and I get afraid that it’ll carry over to when he comes up to pitch
Fonzie's OBP is .347
is that good?
