Moreland has been a revelation this past week, and i will miss hearing him when the Cubs return home. I will never bash Santo, however. Good ballplayer, and beyond that, a darn nice guy. 2001, Cubs at Dodgers, and we happen to be staying at the Marriott where the Cubs (including the newly-acquired Crime Dog ... ugh) are staying and hanging out at the bar. Long story short, Santo sees us in our Cubs hats, walks over, buys us a beer. He sat and talked baseball with me and several of my drunken buddies for two hours when he didn't have to. Now, flash forward to Spring Training 2002. Same group of buddies (give or take) and I are standing outside will call, waiting for our tickets. Santo approaches, does a double take, and walks over to us to ask us how we're doing. "You're the guys from LA last year!" he says. Why would he bother making that connection, let alone taking the time to come over and talk to us? He's a nice guy. But Keith Moreland is a good color commentator.

He’s a nice guy.

But Keith Moreland is a good color commentator. Hire him.

Whenever I'm on the road during gametime, I love pumping in game audio so I can hear the game. However, I'd much prefer to listen to the TV announcers if I get lucky enough to have the Cubs game carried by the MLB At Bat TV feed. Ron's JEEZing and GAHing is reallyl annoying to listen to, especially when you have the sultry sounds of Pat Hughes in sharp contrast.

He said he'd gotten to the park pretty early, and he noticed that the wettest area appeared to be between short and third. So: he took the time to notice something baseball-related that radio listeners (or even TV viewers) could not have known, and he told it to us professionally and coherently. I was awed and overjoyed at this, like Bob Cratchit on Christmas morning. I felt like a new person. Then the game happened. But the good feelings toward Moreland linger.
