I was just watching the Brewers/Cubs game on WGN and saw the most disturbing promo I've seen since the days of Cop Rock. Next week WGN is having a theme week titled "Super Sweet Baseball Week". As if the name itself isn't lame enough, at the end of the commercial there was the tagline "Hosted by Bob Uecker". What the hell is that? How many pieces of silver were in your sack Judas Uecker. I'm usually the first one to say Bob Uecker is an untouchable icon in the same realm as Mother Theresa and Brett Favre, but this is too much. Uecker pandering to the Cubbies. This would be the equivalent of Mike Ditka hosting Packer draft day. Or like paying a buck two fitty to drive I94 between Madison and Milwaukee. This just shouldn't be happening. Bob Uecker is ours you dirty flatlanders. Hands Off!

Ernie Banks was only marginally better than Ernie Riles.
