It's a good thing this forum never gets sidetracked. Hey, did he mention cole slaw? What about cottage cheese? Did he say where the best pizza is in East Peoria?

Torres uses his sweet stroke to put the Cardinals up 3-2 with his 2nd smashed tater of the year.........
Earlier , Burleson hit an opposite field and Walker drilled a heat seeking missile to drive Burly in.......
Conversely , Gorman now in a 3-38 streak with 19 K's.......wow.......

This just makes me so sad. I really had huge hopes for Gorman. What could have been...

At least it’s tv! Remember listening to radio games with Shannon. He would start telling his story and you wouldn’t have a clue what was going on in the game.
One of the KTRS hosts this past week suggested Cardinals should try and do a trade involving Gorman similar to the Lankford/Woody Williams trade from the early 2000s. Only issue is that you'd have to find a team willing to take a chance on Gorman.

Actually, I enjoy listening to the duo of Rooney and Horton. I believe last Sunday evening the the Cardinals were on Peacock which I do not pay for. And I decided to go to the local drive-in for supper. While there I listened to Cardinal broadcast. After I finished supper I drove around town for another 45 minutes listening to the broadcast. I know that I could have gone home and turned on the radio. However, there is nothing like being on the road in your car or truck listening to Cardinal baseball. I agree with the other poster (and I have said it before) Chip and Sweeny are ok together, but there is something about Thompson's flippant delivery which bothers me. I view Thompson as just some sort of Cardinal fanboy. And I will concede that many Cardinal fans want that kind of announcer.
Rooney and Horton have really found their groove as a team on radio. And honestly, I think Horton is better suited for that role as opposed to being on TV (at least aside from pre/post-game work). Some of the long running bits they do (like the pick-to-click (which I know is technically taken from the Sox), the attendance game where Horton manages to guess it correctly every time, etc.) are great.
On a side note though, the Cardinals game last Sunday was on your local NBC affiliate so you could have watched it on there though I get the point you're making.
I do agree that Thompson seems to be on there to be basically pro-Cardinals and nothing else. But his whole shtick aside from that gets very tired very quick.
He's also batting over .300, which in modern baseball is extremely rare. Got 47 rbi too. Clearly he's getting it figured out now; what a future for this guy!
While it’s true that Thompson is a fan, I have to admit that I usually like his enthusiasm. He’s not as dry as some teams’ announcers. If I want objective analysis I can watch CNN or Fox (/s).
I think his back is more cooked than they're letting on. Approaching 2 full seasons of PAs at well below league average batting line - he's definitely getting non-tendered this off season.

Had Church been an infielder, I wouldn''t have been surprised if they would have sent Gorman down instead. But I have no clue if he even has options.

Gorman does not.
Ok. I did a Google search it is said no. I have no vested interest one way or the other.

He’s turned into a decent outfielder now.
