This "paragraph" sums up your stupidity quite well.

Ok? Except this thread isnt about me.

I would be interested if it was the great Harry Carey announcing the games.

Amen to that.

I'm sure he is in heaven, drinking it up and singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' in spirit for every Cubs game...

[Awesome]

or he could be in heaven having sex with all the hot dead women throughout history and be like "baseball sucks"

Sex, while on heroin, watching the Cubs win the world series, singing take me out to the ball game... are you happy now?

[Awesome]

not particularly

[bloodzombie]

mmmmm... sex with dead chicks on heroin

I agree and disagree on a few things:

- Yeah, the massive block of text he produces during a match can not only be distracting, but overwhelming. I only catch maybe 1 out of every 10 comments he makes.

- The comments he makes are descriptive, interesting, and at times humorous. He commentates like a commentator typically would.

Therefore I think a perfect medium to be used would be to somehow record the games and commentate over them, as stated above. That way, people that wanted to watch the game with commentary would be able to. It's a fun new thing to test out.

Also, Howard, I believe Kolar has the software/knowhow to get you set on the right path towards finding the right tools for recording the video. He would be the one to speak to.

Alternatively he could just type everything in a special chat, i.e. ?chat=commentary

Good idea, Epi.

**butt pat**

[bloodzombie]

A good idea, but not nearly as cool as recording it so it can be watched later, which would be really great for the people who are in the game.

LOL that butt pat thing cracks me up for some reason

It depends on how 'colorful' the commentary really is.....I remember a story about a lazy, late summer AL baseball game years ago. The game was in the later innings and the camera man was panning around the stands. He came back to the same couple 2-3 times and the announcer finally said, "ah, look at that...he is kissing her on the strikes, and she is kissing him on the balls".

You are the most useful person to post here yet, thank you, Pearl Jam.

It's hard to make colorful commentary like that when you have to be typing straight through. Especially since there are no balls in the game save what the players exhibit in their basing manuevers.
