Media Review

While the game stunk, the broadcast team of Tim McCarver and Joe Buck was pretty good on Saturday. On the plus side, I find them entertaining, Buck more so. But Buck gets major kudos for calling out Korey Patterson. Buck suggested that Patterson better heat it up, or the Cubs would trade for an established leadoff hitter, possibly a centerfielder.

Now, I don't think Buck has any insight into the Cubs front office. But to was nice to hear someone say it like it should be said.

On the minus, the two of them spent 10 minutes bashing Dusty for bringing in Glendon Rusch. Why? Because you'd need him if the game were to go extra frames.

Hello? The Cubs were down 1. It was the 8th inning! If Rusch finishes the inning, he's in place to pitch the 9th and so on in a tie. If the Cubs take the lead, LaTroy Hawkins comes in!
