    Listening 2 baseball on the radio has become like listening to 3 hour long commerial
    Unreal...listening to the Brewer game on the radio tonight and every inning has some ridiculous sponser, a ridiculous contest that has next to 0 probability of happening (i.e. triple play, game landing exactly on 21 runs, back to back homeruns, etc...).....every time the Brewers turn a double-play it's brought to me by Jiffy Lube...every pitching change is brought to me by someone else......every strikeout is brought to me by a sponser, every homerun means another mention of a sponsor, every walk means a mention of a sponsor and on and on. The comes the offical moment in the broadcast where they "take a moment to thank their sponsors"...hello, the whole game has been a thank you to the sponsors.

    I feel sorry for Bob Uecker......he's become a corporate puppet who is simply there to read commericals over the radio.

      TV and radio wouldn't exist as we know it without commercials. Do you want it all to be HBO and sirius?

            Not sure...he mentioned something about a job interview a few weeks ago and he has not been heard from since. I tried emailing him but no luck....he must have got the job and it must be like a real serious job that is preventing him from posting. He had gotten off to a slow start in but then started turning it around nicely right before he left. I am not sure but he may reemerge for seasib....otherwise, something real bad must have happened to him like being thrown in jail or something if he doesn't post since he was a chronic poster...very unlike him to be gone this long. Hope things are good with you....

              He use to come by all the time and all of a sudden he just stopped coming by the edge. He entered a contest there and never cam back. I'm sure everything is ok, but you never know. Things are good here. You still in Wisky?

                I will give the Royals some credit. The certainly have at least on sponsorship an inning, but they get it over with and move on.

                    Anyone know of a good cell phone provider that offers MLB game broadcasts?
