July 2, 200421 yr So I'm listening to the Cub game on the radio on the train home yesterday - I'm a baseball fan, that's why, thanks for asking - and Beltran hits the 3-run bomb to tie the game. Here's Ron Santo's "expert commentary"....EXACT QUOTE..... "......Man oh man............I didn't like THAT......oh....JEEZ....." If I'm in charge of WGN radio I call Santo into the office after the game and wish him well in his future endeavors. He is useless as a broadcaster, it's not even right to CALL him a broadcaster. His entire "contribution" to the booth consists of gasping, sighing, whining about umpires and yelling like a retarded 5-year-old when the Cubs go something he likes. Awful.............beyond awful..............

July 2, 200421 yr You'd be surprised at how many Cub fans think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread...
July 2, 200421 yr You'd be surprised at how many Cub fans think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread... No, I wouldn't. I haven't been able to get ANY of my Cub fan friends to agree that Santo's an idiot.
July 2, 200421 yr No, I wouldn't. I haven't been able to get ANY of my Cub fan friends to agree that Santo's an idiot. My godmother (my mom's sister) thinks he is the greatest thing. Whatever floats her boat, I guess.
July 2, 200421 yr And the thing that I hate the most about Santo is that he’s always quiet when the Cubs are losing. That other guy (I don’t know what the hell is his name) is the only one talking. Am I right folks?
July 2, 200421 yr would that also be your aunt by any chance... LOL! Yup. I don't know too many people who's god parents are a blood relative of their parents (the only reason I worded it that way). I was going to include the explanation my grampa had for her being the only Cubs fan in the family - her brain was put in backwards.
July 2, 200421 yr Santo also can't stand the White Sox. Yesterday Pat said the Cubs will welcome in the Sox and Santo said well now that they are in first place we will be ready for them. I have a question Ron. Do the Cubs only get up to play teams who are in first place? If so the Cubs are truly f***ed. Ron you got to such your mouth dumbass
July 2, 200421 yr Alot of the Cubs fans i know have this to say about him. "Well, he has no legs, so you should like him." To which i say "I didn't like him when he HAD legs."

I know, look it is sad the man has had the medial problems he has, but that doesn't give him the right to be a dope and a hypocrite in some cases.
July 2, 200421 yr Author Alot of the Cubs fans i know have this to say about him. "Well, he has no legs, so you should like him." To which i say "I didn't like him when he HAD legs." Kind of off-topic, kind of not, but too funny not to repeat. There was a guy on Last Comic Standing who told this joke: "So my Grampa has two wooden legs, right? Last week there was a fire at his house, and Grampa burned to the ground!" So wrong of me, but I thought of Santo burning to the ground when I heard that joke!

July 2, 200421 yr On a different board that caters to all of chicago sports teams, the cub fans are whining about how "terrible" all of our announcers are. They rip on Hawk & DJ for being homers and not calling the cub runs with the same enthusiasm as they do for the Sox and on Rooney & Farmeo for being boring and not calling the game, but talking about other stuff. They are so F-ing clueless it isn't funny. But then again, they are the ones saying Corky had a "great" game yesterday. Yes, he did get the GW homer, but he was 1-5 with 2 K's. :fthecubs
July 2, 200421 yr Cub fans make me sick, f***ers have the biggest homer in Chimp Caray yet they don't give him any s***. :fyou Cub Fans

Hawk and DJ are "homers" for rooting for the Sox like they do. But, atleast both of them know what's going on down on the field. Caray is clueless. What can I say, other then Cubs fans are hypocrites

And Hawk and DJ are always complmenting the other teams and showing respect for them, even the Cubs, while Caray never says anything bad about his precious Cubs and always belittles the other team. Well, :fyou them.
