Mariners@Cubs–A Preview Of Tonight’s 7th Inning

Submitted by Cubnut on
(THE SOUNDS OF A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME ARE AUDIBLE IN THE BACKGROUND THROUGHOUT. OCCASIONALLY, CROWD REACTION SWELLS, BUT THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES MOSTLY UNINTERRUPTED) PAT: Pat Hughes and Ron Santo back at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs behind the pitching of Rich Hill are leading the Mariners 3-0, and on “Country Music Night,” we’re pleased to welcome in country recording artist and former American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler. Kellie, welcome. KELLIE: Why thank you, it’s wonderful to be here. PAT: Now Kellie, is this your first time at Wrigley Field? KELLIE: Yes it is. It’s my first time in Chicago. (SHE LAUGHS) RON: Isn’t it a beautiful city? KELLIE: Absolutely, I just love it. RON: Where have you been, Kellie? KELLIE: (AFTER A PAUSE) You mean, in my life? RON: No, here in Chicago. What sights have you seen? KELLIE: Oh, oh. Well, I’ve been all over Chicago. I just love it. (LONG SILENCE) RON: Where are you from, Kellie? KELLIE: I’m from Albemarle, North Carolina near Charlotte. RON: I could tell by your accent. We were just in Atlanta. (LONG SILENCE) RON: Are you a baseball fan, Kellie? KELLIE: Oh, yeah, I love baseball. RON: Do you have a favorite team? KELLIE: I kinda like the Braves, I guess. But after tonight, I think I’m gonna be a Cubs fan. (SHE AND RON LAUGH) RON: I understand you were on the American Idol, is that right? KELLIE: Yes, I sure was. RON: Now, I have never watched the American Idol, but there’s one thing I’ve always wondered about that show... PAT: (CUTTING RON OFF) Excuse me, Ron. The Mariners have loaded the bases and now Will Ohman is coming in from the bullpen, replacing Rich Hill, who's getting a nice hand from the crowd. Go ahead, Ron. RON: I have always wondered, does the producer pick the songs for you, Kellie? KELLIE: No, we always picked our own songs, but the producer helps and sometimes he'll make a suggestion, so yeah, sometimes. RON: That’s great. Just great. PAT: Kellie, you have a new album out on BNA Records. Tell us a little bit about it. KELLIE: Sure, it’s called “Small Town Girl,” because that’s what I am...a small town girl. And it’s doing really well on the country charts. RON: What kind of music do you sing, Kellie? KELLIE: Country. I’m a country singer. RON: That’s just great. There’s one thing I’ve always wondered about country music... PAT: Excuse me, Ron. Raul Ibanez has just hit a grand slam to put the Mariners ahead 4-3. Kellie, I understand you’re going to be leaving us, but thanks for stopping in. KELLIE: My pleasure. (KELLIE AND RON AND FOUR OR FIVE OTHER PEOPLE CAN BE HEARD EXCHANGING GOODBYES IN THE BACKGROUND) PAT: Lou Piniella is about to make a pitching change and when you need to make a change, come to Jiffy Lube. We’ll be back in a minute.

I assume this is a parody of last night's insufferable three - inning stint with Larry the Cable Doofus. When the mongoloid made a joke about farting, I finally hit the mute button - hope the folks at WGN made a ton of promotional dollars for that arse kissing he got from the poor announcers.

Submitted by Wes on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:29 pm

Cubnut wins. It was almost like I was actually hearing Ronny trying to form real words and sentences. And that Larry the Cable Guy segment was absolutely awful last night.

Submitted by dave on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:30 pm

Yea... I was definitely hearing Santo say those things. Kinda' scary that this is probably a pretty accurate look at what tonights conversation will look like.

Submitted by Cubnut on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:35 pm

Thanks, all. Dmac--this is not a reaction to last night, but a blueprint for tonight when Kellie Pickler actually sings the national anthem and TMOTTB in the seventh.

Astros sign Chan Ho Park, option to New Orleans; will be re-evaluated after 3-4 starts.

Submitted by dave on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:47 pm

Astros sign Chan Ho Park haha. If not for anything else, the Cubs will be in the playoff race solely based on the Astros signing Park and the Cardinals using Todd Wellemeyer in their rotation.

Legit question? Have they ever come up with definative proof that Ron and Harry ARENT related?

Submitted by Silent Towel on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:54 pm

I love listening to Ron Santo. He gets so damned crabby and bummed out by things. It's hilarious in the wake of yet another trainwreck of a season. Poor old Ronny is usually so out of it that he doesn't recall which city the Cubs are playing in or the team they are going up against. But that's alright. He's comedy in the midst of a clusterfuck. Pat Hughes is his seeing eye dog in the booth. Gives him something to do, because his play-by-play call sure ain't cuttin' it.

Submitted by Transmission on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:06 pm

Bravo. Harry was an orphan, right... So it's conceivable he and Santo are related. We should start a fundraiser to get him DNA tested....

Submitted by Rynox on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:08 pm

ST... I like Ron because he says exactly what we're all thinking, down to every "owhhh geezz, why did he do that?" and "you've got to be kidding me..."

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 06:13 pm

cwtp - you really forwarded it to them? That would be hilarious to hear how they take it...

Nice work Cubnut - great observation of the speech patterns, etc. And hilarious.

hilarious. It would have still been funny but the "LONG SILENCE" after Ronny spoke was classic.

I read this just after hearing the actual interview with Kellie P. Spookily prescient.

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

  • crunch (view)

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

  • Bill (view)

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I wanted Almonte gone last week, but that was before Merryweather went down and Little got demoted. Almonte in his last 5 appearances has gone 4.1 IP with no ER or Runs. NO hits, 3 BBs and 8 SO. He did hit 96 with his 2S FB in AZ on Tues.
    I don't see Jed waiving him when we have injuries all over and guys with options that can be sent down.
    I probably won't like the move Jed makes, but he can't play the "let's hope no one wants his 1.7mil remaining deal and we can hide him in Iowa" card.
    That's why I think the current Bullpen stays as is and Wicks goes to Iowa.
    I don't like that, but that's the fix I see.
    We'll find out soon enough!!!
