First, his Marcus Stroman comments, and now this. The Twitter thread is interesting. I don't remember Aramis getting booed when he returned to Wrigley as a Brewer? I don't remember him being tough on him or Castro. Those teams were pretty shitty towards the end of Brenly's tenure with the Cubs though. |

What's with all these weak grown ass men? First, it's the 80 year old alcoholic manager, now it's Bob Freaking Brenly. These 20 something players can't handle these oldies giving them a little heat? |

I don't remember him being tough on him or Castro. Those teams were pretty shitty towards the end of Brenly's tenure with the Cubs though. Feb 19, 2008 Associated Press MESA, Ariz. -- Aramis Ramirez arrived at spring training Tuesday and gladly talked about last season when he led the Cubs in RBIs and helped them win the NL Central. But the team's star third baseman had little to say on a report about his passion for cockfighting in his native Dominican Republic. Ramirez batted .310, hit 26 homers and led the Cubs with 101 RBIs but struggled in the first round of the playoffs. He was 0-for-12 as Chicago was swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks. "You know, it happens," he said. "They were hot and played good. That wasn't the reason we lost. We didn't play well." The New York Times reported this month that Ramirez was featured in an issue of a Dominican cockfighting magazine, En La Traba, and is pictured with some roosters. "When I'm in the Dominican Republic, I'm dedicated entirely to them," he was quoted as saying. On Tuesday, Ramirez declined to address the subject. Cockfighting is legal and popular in his country. "I'm not going to talk about that. That's personal, that's a different culture down there. I'm from [the] Dominican, so let's talk about baseball," he said. |

"Tom Seaver wore one just like that" could just as easily be a Terry Boers joke. Would Sam Fels be trying to get a guy fired in that case? |

If Fidrych were pitching today and Brenly said " I remember when Tom Seaver talked to the ball while pitching for the Mets " is he taken off the air to undergo sensitivity training? Theyre making this ( as usual ) a racial issue when its just a dumb comment during a 3 hour baseball telecast. |

"During San Diego’s 7-6 win in Arizona on Thursday night, Brenly made a pretty dumb crack about Padres rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr’s “bike chain” around his neck, joking around that it was slowing him down." As I said before, STFU and announce. |

Never considered Brendly anything above average. He was miles better than JD or Len though. If a guy looks ridiculous with a face tattoo or doo rag or his pants hanging around his knees..say it. Tough shit if the truth hurts. |

i blame the director. he's daring anyone in the booth to make a comment about a hot woman, a woman with a rack or a player with a doo-rag. they choose which camera and for how long. the play-by-play guy or color guy usually take the bait. it's not the era of the arnie harris/jack brickhouse hat shots, but arnie would tell camera #3 to hold the shot of the woman with big breasts in the bleachers. why didn't aspca cancel aramis? he's also correct, it is a cultural issue. today, one culture is definitely bad. |

On C & J - S & W transition somebody said Jurko was like a "Caveman". Of course Jurko laughed it off, and threw his own shots in. If Jurko would be offended, and felt abused it would be hilarious. With these 4 guys the good natured insults flow freely. This group must be thankful they can talk freely with no guy waiting to ambush the next slipup. Good radio. Even if someone crossed the line by mistake. Who cares? |

Anyone going to remind the public that warm and fuzzy, filandering, cubbie manager Grandpa Rossy was universally praised for taking off after Starlin for what he perceived to be lack of effort during that same era? |
