Variety is a good thing, but in the end these jerseys eventually say to me "Win or lose, after the game we're eating Blizzards 'til we're sick, 'cause Dairy Queen's our sponsor!"
Whatever his actual words, Joe's monotone radio ad voice tells people 'I'm hopelessly boring, but please buy this product anyway because I'm nice and I'm from here'. And fifteen years later, it's still working.
It's one thing to beat out a ground ball that a second baseman would normally turn into an out. It's entirely another to beat it so badly that there's no need to bother with a throw.
It's just not a good sign when your throws from the outfield finish slow enough that the infielders can usually just pick them up with their throwing hand.
That's sooo crazy! I was just thinking to myself, "What this game needs is just one more Bremer home run false alarm on a fly ball down the left field line!"
