Rossy's back? Well, sort of.

David Ross has returned, but it's to someplace where he can't really hurt us. The former Cub player and manager, best known for trying to single handedly throw game seven of the World Series and for only using three relievers the last three months of the 2023 season, is returning to ESPN to call games. If you thought ESPN had gotten rid of its baseball coverage, they did mostly, but not completely.

Boog is fired up to call some games with this dullard, which is fine, I guess. On the day when Xfinity customers like me were upgraded from ESPN Plus to ESPN Unlimited (whatever that difference is), ol' Rossy signs back up.

ESPN will no longer be the home of Sunday Night Baseball, as NBC has acquired that, and now they can go from Football Night In America to Basketball Night In America to Baseball Night In America...well, until the NFL comes back in September, when it becomes Baseball Night On Peacock, or something.

ESPN is going to do some non-exclusive midweek games, meaning if the Cubs are on you will be able to watch Marquee (why you'd want to do that, I have no idea), and apparently Boog is going to call a bunch of those, and ESPN still has radio rights to Sunday Night Baseball and Boog will do almost all of those which means...ugh...more Alex Cohen for us.

I guess another reminder that baseball on mute is better than whatever Cohen is trying to do. Trust me. You won't miss anything.

Craig Counsell doesn't get openly pissed off all that often, but it does happen. Just ask Luke, Little who nearly had to hitchhike from San Diego to Des Moines after he walked Gavin Sheets and Jason Heyward, Gavin Sheets and Tyler Wade in the eighth inning of a game last April in which the Cubs had just cut the lead to one run. Little did pitch again for the Cubs, once, 103 games later.

On Monday, Craig threw a fit after Kevin Alcantara fucked up a base running drill.
