In between innings. During actual play. In between pitches. The batter stepping out from the box and adjusting their batting gloves sponsored by Creepy Heating and Cooling. This foul ball sponsored by Acme Fireworks Company. Change of pitchers is brought to you by Schlitz Malt Liquor. Let's hear from our young babe on the sideline telling fans a lot about nothing. We thought it was such a great idea used by college football that MLB decided to bore fans even more napping at home in their recliner. Sponsored by the law firm of Shank, Shank, and Tootsie of course. And everyone's favorrite, this 5th inning drunken brawl in the stands is brought to you by Danley's Bail Bonds. I miss the days of the daytime Cubs, WGN, and the late great Jack Brickhouse on the call.
