After this happened last night I spent some time reading Marge's Wikipedia. Good Lord she was a horrific human being.

The only way Sutcliffe could be worse is if he was doing the games with Thom Brenneman. They both could talk in their douchebag fake announcer voice. Fucking assholes.

Reds are the worst. I hate that mother fucker douchebag fuckhead asshole Thom Brenenman


May 12, 2008

Thom Brenneman should be sterilized


May 9, 2009

Thom Brenneman is the worst announcer in baseball history. TMac is 100000x better.


October 6, 2009

the only announcer i hate more than Carey is Thom Brenneman. Thom deserves to have his vocal cords rip out through his ass


November 15, 2009

as long as Thom Brenneman dies in the booth today, I will consider this a win


February 10, 2010

I couldnt possibly have hated Scott Graham more. That's not true; I would hate him more if he was Thom Brenneman.


April 11, 2010

TMac blows, but spend 5 minutes listening to the Reds broadcst of Thom Brenneman and Jeff Brantley and you'll want to commit seppuku


also

If I could piss in Thom Brenneman's hollowed out skull, I would do it twice


August 24, 2011

Thom Brennaman is my mortal enemy.


September 11, 2011

there is no one in this world i want dead more than Thom Brennemann. What a piece of shit




bsg was indeed a beautiful place.

It would be incredibly funny if Schilling never made the hall of fame because everyone agrees what an asshole he is.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

@JonHeyman
Sixto Sanchez is indeed being called up by Marlins. Big-time pitching prospect has been regularly hitting triple digits on gun. Candidate to pitch this weekend. #fish

The worst post I ever made - indeed, the single worst thought I ever had - was back on the old board, 16 years ago, around the trade deadline of 2004, and everyone knew Curt Schilling was going and it was only a question of where, and he had made it clear he really only wanted to come here. I thought we should ship Utley and Howard to Arizona for him.

I thank Ed Wade every day that never happened.

That Major League Baseball TV ratings are up in the first month of the abbreviated 2020 season is somewhat of a modest surprise, given the sport is competing with NBA and NHL playoffs and a crush of political and pandemic news — not to mention the longstanding narrative of a graying sport in decline.

But what is even more notable is the demographics fueling the rise: women and younger people, two groups that did not exactly flock to baseball in recent years (if not decades). The increases are seen in both national ratings, such as ESPN’s, and across the regional sports channels that air the bulk of MLB games.

“Considering all that MLB is up against this year at the start of its season, from COVID-19 to directly competing with the NHL and NBA playoffs, to getting underway at the heart of summer, these … stats are even more staggering,” according to Nielsen Media Research, which provided exclusive figures to The Athletic. “Young adults (females and males 18-24) have driven most of the overall viewing increases. Males 18-24 are up 26 percent going from 71,000 to 89,000 viewers across markets. And (f)emales 18-24 are up 41 percent going from 40,000 to 56,000 viewers.”

The Reds should just fire his ass now and save him the further embarrassment of saying shit like this:


"I had no idea it was so rooted in hate and violence"
