Bobby Scales
still like that guy
Some people say the glass is half empty, some say half full. I say, are you going to drink that?
I like his perseverance
He doesn’t have a major-league future, but I hope he’s enjoying himself this season (as well as the additional pay he’s getting).

I like him,
He’s just not an outfielder.

We've got several outfielders who are not outfielders
And we have a guy who is Not Bruce Froemming.
And I can only spell that because he is right there.

But there is a guy
who IS Bruce Froemming at Miller Park

Froemming
lives in Milwaukee. I think he works in Selig’s office these days.
Still can’t forgive him for what he did to Milt Pappas. And a lot of other calls involving Chicago teams after that.
Is Brucie actually at the game tonight?

Yup
Pat and Ron were talking about how he came up to the booth
Scene: Bleachers, early 1980s
Me: 'Who is that guy down there in shorts, no shirt who thinks he knows everything about baseball?'
True Bleacher Bum: 'You dumbass, that's Bill Veeck!'
Ronnie:
“Somethings gonna happen.”

Well, at least
he won’t be wrong.

A little more specific would be ok
Not much more, just a little
It never gets to be easy

I think we can be a little tough on Ronnie...
He is NOT a good broadcaster, but damn it, he bleeds Cubbie Blue as good as Any of us!

Nothing feels so good as beating the Brewers...
I'm a truth teller, I'm a risk taker, I'm like Johnny Cash - I walk the line...
Beating the Cards?
That feels MUCH better to me. The Brewers are non-threatening, the Cards?
Well, I just plain don’t like them…
