Actually, I do!
No, sorry...
I wish I could say I know how you feel, but the only teams they don't show around here is The Blackhawks, and it's been so long since anybody has seen them on teevee, nobody cares. As a matter of fact, there's a whole generation of kids growing up who have probably never seen a home Hawks game on TV...Their loss, not mine...
But this brings to mind something else. Baseball games on radio. I'm telling you, there's nothing better than listening to a good announcer broadcasting a game on the radio. A good announcer can make you feel like you're sitting in the ballpark. I really enjoy it. I started doing it after Steve Stone left The Cubs broadcast booth a few years back. Joe Carter got on my nerves so much I would turn the sound off on the TV and turn up the radio whenever the game was on. Because the radio announcers have to spend more time describing what's actually happening, there's a lot less bullshit blabbering going on. And believe me, if there was one thing that Joe Carter could do, it was babbling...I don't know what I'm gonna do now that Stoney is coming back to start calling the Cubbies games again. It was a real treat listening to him on the radio when Ron Santo was too ill to work the past few summers. It's actually kind of nice to have that option...
