Post subject: | ZZ is BRUTAL |
These pre and post games shows are terrible. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. He constantly sounds like he is trying to whisper or something weird while talking to people. Tonight right towards the beginning he was discussing Russells out at 3rd and he made the statement that you had to appreciate his aggressiveness in trying to put his team in a position to win and that is what you want out of your players. Then a few mins later he takes a call from a guy who says he agrees with him on Russell trying to go to 3rd and ZZ pretty much cuts him off to say he disagrees with him and that Russell needed to stay at 2nd in that situation. Which is it you dumbfuck? He is the worst thing on the radio not named Dicaro. |

I've hated Zach's whispery voice since I started listening to the Score regularly in 2006. Why is he still here? Strange that Chris Rongey had all the time in the world to do postgame shows for the Sox, but the Cubs game ends and they go to Les at 9:30. 9:30! Les! You couldn't talk Cubs or trade deadline for another half hour? How is that WGN had more expansive and interactive coverage of the Cubs than a genuine sports talk station? |

Yeah I have wondered about that as well, especially with the set up tonight. Les was scheduled from 10pm to 5am (which is insane in and of itself). There is no reason why they couldn't have kept the post game show on til 10. But no Les has to start up 30 mins early. |

Even before he was a Bears apologist, his sports thoughts were awful. He is and always has been a guaranteed PTFB for me. |

ZZ hands are tied. He can't be honest about anything. Best part is the 1 or 2 calls he takes. The callers give an honest opinion and ZZ cuts them off and goes into apologist mode. Les on early after a Cubs game goes into apologist mode too. ESPN 100 should do a Hoodless Cubs postgame for the fans. |

Score is mismanaged in that aspect. When you’re the flagship of the cubs you do all you can to promote it. You throw everything at it. This station should be WCUB. 24/7 cubs. But they’re not. Coming off a recent WS title they’re losing out on a cash cow. |

When Zach & Bernstein would be talking about rap music and say the rappers were great musicians that would literally make my skin crawl |

Coming off a recent WS title they’re losing out on a cash cow. Have you tried to count how many sponsor drops are in a typical post-game show. The format is "sponsor read, fact, sponsor read, fact, etc." for half an hour. In fact, they have a sponsor read nested inside a sponsor read during the post-game. The "Heart of the Order" (3-4-5 hitters) and then when they get to the #4 hitter they throw in a "Cleanup by Aloha Restoration" read. That takes a lot of balls by their sales department. |

I counted sponsor reads during the post-game show tonight. Not counting recorded commercials. Eighteen of them. I was in the car, so I couldn't write them all down. |

Score is trying hard to break even with their Cubs deal. One day Zack will be forced to read "My erection is brought to you by Viagra." |

I’m not talking about advertising but the on air talent not talking cubs 24/7 with a passion. Too many Sox fans on there. Use the hey day of Cubs 80s WGN as an example. Even Eddie Schwartz had to mix in some Cubs talk. |

I was listening the night Cutler and another player treated ZZ like a substitute teacher on that All Access show. They refused to answer any question and just fucked with him the whole time. The next week he started co-hosting with Thayer so players would stop treating the show as fuck around time. |

ZZ is a survivor because he know how to play the game. It is so fake and kissing up but that’s how the guy survives. He knows how to treat the bosses like Pat Hughes. If Grote played it straight he would still have the gig. |

I tuned in for a couple minutes last night during ZZ's inning. The Cubs hit a double. Zach was so bland, I thought the other team was up. He's terrible at calling baseball. |
