On a side note(and personal vent), I was listening to Sports Central on 720(cubs radio network)at 7pm and the guy was heated about Reds announcer Marty Brenamen (sp?). Wednesday's game btw the Cubs and the Reds a funny and strange incident happened...
"The strangest moment came in the Reds' eighth. Adam Dunn homered, and the ball cleared the right-field bleachers. A Wrigley Field tradition is to throw the opponent's home run ball back, and someone threw a ball onto the field. Then another, and another, until there were 15 balls on the field. The game had to be delayed until all the balls were removed. "
I thought it was somewhat hilarious. Drunk comedy maybe, but as long as noone got hurt, no harm, right? Well this a hole Marty Brenaman bashed the bleacher bums and Cubs fans calling them "rude, obnoxious, drunks. and that's why noone like the Cubs anywhere else, they have the worst fans in baseball or one of the worst," Something like that nature. I didn't get to hear his exact comments. Again, I was quoting what the guy said on the radio show. Well, that got me
. It's one thing to bash the Cubs fans and call us names, drunks, etc, But to call us one of the worst fans? %*$*@ please. We all know that Yankee fans have that beat by a mile. But Marty, if you want to go there, just look at your own. Yea, look at most of the Reds fans at the game, listening on the radio, or tuning in to watch the game, and listening to your !%% speak. Most of those fans are just as bad imo if they support a cheater and gambler who broke not only the rules, but one of the most sacred rules and codes ever broken. "Do not bet on baseball."
i'm going to excuse your ignorance...Marty Brennaman is a legend. he just calls it like he sees it. he'd say the same thing if dumb Reds fans threw 15 balls on the field and delayed the game. where's
dmxfury , he'll tell ya. and what the hell does Pete Rose have to do with anything?
If he is a legend, then he should know that ignorant fans who threw 15 balls onto the field should not be labeled and/or represented as all Cubsfans or associated with those drunks. Besides:
Harry Carey/Vin Scully/Jack Buck>>>>>Marty Breneman
My bad, I was using Pete Rose as a wrong reference. I wasn't knocking his talent to the game, but he still broke a major rule and a code in all of sports.If certain Pete Rose or Reds fans thinks that it's ok because he's Pete Rose, then what does that say for those fans? I can imagine the responses wouldbe if tomorrow, ESPN would report that Barry Bonds betted on games in the 2002 World Series.
