Moreland is better. Love that light country accent. He really knows his stuff and can get it out over the airways quite well.

I imagine there’s gonna be a time when Ronnie has to call it a day. We all know that day has been coming for some time now. But we also know Ronnie just isn’t going to give up. If there’s a guy who personifies the “fight” against a dreaded disease, it’s Ronnie.

He has a look made for radio anyway. He’d be a natural.

I just hope Ronnie can hang on long enough to get that HOF induction. I’d say to see the Cubs win the Series, but……

He’s been living on borrowed time for a while as it is. When I was at my first Hundley camp one of the other campers, a doctor, told the story about how a flat-lined person was brought in to his E.R. and they were able to bring him back. It turned out to be Santo. The doctor said they didn’t know it was him until after he was stabilized, and had he known he might not have been able to work on him.

Santo’s a treasure, and we need to appreciate him as much as we can.

….. keep enough Crown Royal on hand so Moreland will be happy. My goodness, but that guy can put that way when he’s in the mood. :)

And I don’t mean that as a knock on Ronnie (I ♥ Ronnie) even thought it has been mainly those times where Ronnie goes quiet that gives me the idea. Also, IIRC he did do a show once by himself and I thought he did a wonderful job.

the Keith Moreland nomination. I love Ronnie but I don’t know how he keeps it up with all of his health issues. i will definitely be sorry to see him go.

But he doews U of Texas radio (which is why he is so good on the radio), so he may be torn.

No Otto. No Judd.

I’d be running fast away from them too.

Judd just shouts constantly.

I’m telling you, upon hearing this that weasel will be all OVER this. PHX was a way for him to break into the biz.

Mark my words. If Ronnie leaves, I guarantee Grace will make sure he’s considered for any Cubs job opening. He has done very minimal PBP, so he could be considered adequate and the 1-inning-fill-in would longer be needed.

Grace stinks, but tatent is not a prerequisite for the gig.

Does a very nice job and is a good complement to Pat. I am glad to hear that Ron is cutting back. Both for his health and our ears. I like that we will still have him around at times, but at this point he is getting tough to handle for 162 games a year.

and I think Eric Karros would also be a good choice. Frankly, I think Todd Hollandsworth could do a good job given the the opportunity. I don’t mind Dave Otto, but I doubt many would want him full-time.

I mostly listen to Len and Bob, but occasionally I’ll turn the radio on and get my Pat and Ron fix.
