I've been listening to the Brewers on MLB Radio online off and on through the summer. And. It's certainly been an exceptional season. We got out on a trip to Connecticut last month and we listened to the better part of a game on the ride home which was just perfect. Baseball on a car radio is bliss. My favorite, of course, is when Bob Uecker is announcing the home games. I understand they're doing a tribute to him soon. His 80-year-old enthusiasm infects me in a positive way. I got a feeling he's gonna retire? Specially if they win the World Series. He is such a marvel the way he can 1-tell a story about the old days. 2-Keep up with the Balls and strikes. And foul balls and so forth. And 3-put in a pitch for Usinger sausages (they are good with mustard!) all in one continuous stream of narrative.
An excerpt from an unfinished rock opera: “To the ninth inning we go – Inside the mind of Ueck” follows: [For Bob Stepien]
- Nicky Lopez will start things off against Brent Sutter. Then it's Merrifield followed by Monaci.
- Five one Brewers all of the scoring via the home run balls by Daniel Vogelbach.
- Sutter deals and he missed or did he? Got enough. Strike on the outside corner.
- One two run shot in the opening inning and then another shot in the sixth with two on. A
- All five rbis for Vogelbach today.
- One ball and one strike.
- Nicky Lopez has flied to right and bounced to second
- here comes Sutter again
- he swings away and fouls it
- how about Usinger’s sausages?
- it's 1 two
- Plenty of time today to grill some up
- you bet
- the pitch
- a foul that one popped away
- a lot of time for your favorite soft pretzel bun
- 2 balls and two strikes
- here he comes again swinging
- struck him out
- and with one down it’s the top of the order now with Merryfield
- who knocked in a run back in the sixth inning the only run for the Royals today
