Good thing they have TWO guys at Cubs opening day! After stating how pointless this season is I certainly am fired up to hear dueling updates from Wrigley!

Has something changed that Goff can now co-host fill-in the show he works on? Doesn't seem like that used to happen a lot, right?

Bernstein's southern rube voice always makes me laugh...

His voices = best part of the show

No.

“KILL THE HEAD AND THE BODY WILL DIE” This line appears in my notebook, for some reason. Perhaps some connection with Joe Frazier. Is he still alive? Still able to talk? I watched that fight in Seattle – horribly twisted about four seats down the aisle from the Governor. A very painful experience in every way, a proper end to the sixties. Tim Leary a prisoner of Eldridge Cleaver in Algeria, Bob Dylan clipping coupons in Greenwich Village, both Kennedys murdered by mutants, Owsley folding napkins on Terminal Island, and finally Cassius/Ali belted incredibly off his pedestal by a human hamburger, a man on the verge of death. Joe Frazier, like Nixon, had finally prevailed for reasons that people like me refused to understand – at least not out loud. But that was some other era, burned out and long gone from the brutish realities of this foul year of Our Lord, 1971. A lot of things had changed in those years."

His voices = best part of the show

Sam Rosen and Vin Scully are the goods.

If his, hit or miss-mostly miss, voices are the best part of the show then....well, the show sucks.

Disagree

I dont mean just his impressions. I mean his voices imitating callers, entire groups of people, etc

Some of these calls after the Cubs loss are already great

Jeff, you're a bad sports fan. And the Cubs are better off without you. This is WSCR the Score.

Dan's gotta be tired of being such a bag to callers, right? How many years can you do that and get excited about it? Seriously? I know a lot of the guys here LOVE his schtick, but man I tire of it quickly. We get it, the caller is a moronic idiot. Why take his call? Maybe Dan is reinvigorated by his understudies Goff and drinky really taking their smug attitude to near-Bernstein levels?

I know, I know, don't listen. I haven't been, much at all, lately. I like the show, overall, so I want to listen -- but I can only hear Dan scream in his "hilarious" Chicago meatball accent so much.

On another note, and although I've been listening off and on today, it's nice not hearing Dan get stuck in a rut talking about the latest Sandusky happenings. When I saw a clip of him heading into court today I assumed that not even a Cubs home opener would keep him from rehashing his OUTRAGE.

Sam Rosen and Vin Scully are the goods.

His "Sam Rosen" just sounds like he's doing an old Jewish guy.

That's the point, that Sam Rosen is every old Jewish guy he's encountered at a wedding buffet.

So it's not actually a Sam Rosen impression then...thanks.

Yes, we are, but I still enjoy the impression. Look how many stupid people think Will Ferrell's Harry Caray is good. Allow me this one.
