Ive heard the name, but the Cubs have been on the Score only a couple years. I dont listen to postgame since they changed stations. I used to occassionally listen to Kap and later that whiney nasally sounding guy on WGN.

Why was ZZ doing multiple innings of play by play tonight?

Fuck as bad as he is at pre/post game stuff he is way worse in multiple innings. He continually says the same shit over and over again. He must have said the Cubs led the majors in come from behind wins 6 times in the 3 innings I listened. He mentioned how quiet he crowd was several times. No shit man they are getting hammered. Then of course he had to remind us in the top of the 9th that this was a non-save position for the Cubs pitcher. Would have never figured that out.

You get the feeling at times that Coomer wants to put his hand oer the mic and say what the fuck are you doing?!?!?

The non save part is due to a mandatory sponsor read for ComEd

Pat had a day off per Mike Esposito. He handled pre and post game.

Well that makes it a little better.

The rest of it is still brutal tho.

Sat 8/4 postgame they took a boatload of calls from mostly bootlickers. One interesting call a guy asked sanberg to explain an ice cold almora pinch hittting for happ? Ryne avoided the batting question and went straight for the defensive advantage.

ZZ got in his usual" people don't understand" to highlight his superior insight. It will be interesting to see if they take multiple calls in future certain to happen Joe major screw up games for must hear radio to see how they sidestep actual decent questions.

They cleverly used urlachers induction to slip in a plug for their mutual Restore Hair gig.

With the decline of the regular score team this comedy hour is something to look forward to.

I can see ZZ trying to be a 80s Hub Arkush but not as rude.

He's a company man. That's what's got him this far. It's worked for him. No surprise.

Ryne Sandberg call him "Jack" when they ended their postgame segment today. If it were anyone other than a goober like Ryno, i'd take it as a "who cares who this guy Jack is."

heard that too thought it was me thinking he said jack instead of zack.

also ryno was pissed at him earlier in the post game. he said something like 'i noticed that too and wrote it down as well'. it was a bit testy.

then ZZ came back with 'your time as a manager'. ouch. that must have hurt ryno.

I don't think Ryno likes ZZ, but his contract probably runs through the end of the year so he's stuck doing it. Ryno seemed to like Grote because almost everybody besides Pat seems to like Grote.

Sandberg is as bad as ZZ. Great player, maybe the worst analyst that ever lived though.

Sandberg is a difficult listen. Terrific player, great ambassador and all around decent guy but so-so at best in broadcasting. I do like him... one of my favorite Cubs.

Caller just called saying great we beat the reds, hope we can beat the mets arms.

This douce ZZ is insulting the caller saying I dont like how fans look down on things or something like that.

what a fucking asshole.

last thing you want to do on radio is berate your callers YOU WOULD THINK!

Ryno hates this guy. You can feel it. At least he got his name right at the end this time.

Zach has seamlessly transitioned his Bears puppies and balloons to the Cubs games.

This is the "style" Crane was looking for.

Larry’s on with Ryno tonight cubs post game.

Sounds much better than ZZ. Ryno even seems to be enjoying it.
