Thoughts from listening to bad announcers this weekend.

>> Tuesday

During Saturday's Cubs-Braves game on FOX. Players: Tim McCarver and Joe Buck.
BUCK: The Braves scored two runs on a sacrifice fly in the 9th inning Friday following two Cub errors on the play. Yesterday really was rock bottom for the Cubs.
MCCARVER: No doubt about it. Things can't get any worse for the Chicago Cubs.


On Sunday, the Cubs lost a game because a ball bounced off Aramis Ramirez's head, allowing the winning run to score in the 11th inning. NEVER say it is "rock bottom" for the Cubs, or that things can't get any worse. The Cubs will often seem to take this as a challenge to search out and discover new and creative ways to lose games.

During Friday's US-Venezuela World Cup Tuneup on ESPN2. Player: Eric Wynalda
WYNALDA: The reason the U.S. scheduled the game against Morocco was because it would prepare them for Ghana in the World Cup. Morocco and Ghana both play an "African" style of soccer.

Reactions will depend on who hears this and how sensitive they are. At its best, this statement is completely absurd; network filler to be passed on as fact to people who don't know any better. In fact, Wynalda may not even know what he's talking about considering that there are 53 countries in Africa and I doubt they all display the same "style" of play. At its worst, this is one of the most racist things ever said during a live sports broadcast.

As racist as the infamous Harry Caray "slanty eyes" comment about Hideo Nomo? A-ha...I think someone just made a Tim McCarver challenge himself.
