June 11 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL
Comcast Sportsnet
I pick on a lot of broadcasters. In fact, this site is about 74%
pickonbroadcaster (up from 68% in May), but the Cubs announcers produced
a solid bit of work in the first & second innings. Len Kasper and
Jim Deshaies were talking about how good of a hitter Michael Lorenzen
was in college and that he wasn't necessarily a normal, weak-hitting pitcher. Lorenzen came to
bat in the second inning and ripped a two-run triple that got the Reds
to within 3-2.
Lorenzen wasn't as good on the mound, though (4 1/3 IP, 5 ER) as the Cubs used Miguel Montero's three-run home run in the first to take the lead and tacked on runs in the third and fifth to win 6-3.
Deshaies
We still heard plenty of nonsense from Deshaies. Here's his top 5:
"Weathered the storm"
"Lively heater"
"He's a youngin', as we like to say...out on the prairie"
"Self-fulfilling prophecy"
"Tightrope framing"
