To help y’all understand how Slice became edit:the ******* y’all all know. I’m going to tell y’all a few stories. JayBird made his living in construction. (I know you’re shocked) he was a senior construction Engeneer for TVA. He mostly built nuclear plants. He was a little bit of a safety nut. New workers never wanted to follow the rules. When they would leave their hard hats laying around he would pick it up and tighten the band and set it back down. He’d wait on the employee to come back around. As soon as the employee would see him they’d try to put their hat back on that now didn’t fit. He’d ask them “is this your first day here with the reactors on!?” Without letting them answer he say “you need to get to the medical trailer, your head has swollen” then walk away. The staff Dr wasn’t a fan of this joke.

Boo this man! Boooo!!! 🤬

The Cubbies kept me alive and halfway sane during my first kid’s year. Back before the (daht-daht-daaaaaahhh) night games destroyed the space-time continuum.

I am happy the Cubs made one of the worst trades in baseball history.

In 1964. When I was 9, and I’m pretty damn sure that you weren’t born yet. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

I put up with listening to Harry Caray for years. You’re gonna have to do better than Lou Brock to balance that out!

Lou Brock is my favorite athlete and the Cardinals are a close 2nd to the Vols as my favorite team.

Caray spent more time as a Cards broadcaster than Cubs. He was great. Remember watching a Cubs/Reds game. Beginning of the broadcast he said there sure are a lot of Reds fans here tonight. The game was in Cincinnati.

My favorite was when he was pimping for WGN’s coverage of the Cubs. (This was during the pre-Internet days, when WGN and TBS reigned supreme.) He bragged about how “your people” in Israel, which had just picked up WGN (to Steve Stone, color commentator, who’s Jewish) were watching the Cubs. And without missing a beat, Stone replied, “Yes, Shaker Heights” (Ohio, where he lived) “loves the Cubs.”

Harry Caray was everyone’s favorite drunk uncle. He was hilarious from around the 6th inning on.

Another one. He began a story, I don’t know where I heard this, but it must be true. After he finished Steve Stone replied, deadpan of course, well Harry, you heard it from me and it was last inning.

Steve Stone was great. You could see that he tried so hard to be kind, but he just had to speak truth. His favorite euphemism was “for all you young [ballplayers] out there...” here’s what you don’t want to do/ how you don’t want to field this ball...

it’s now a family saying when someone wanders off the path of common sense: “So, for all you young 2nd basemen out there...”
