One of my favorite parts of having the MLB.com package to watch all of the cubs games on the computer is listening to all of the other teams commentators. Some are really lousy and are difficult to listen to. But some are really good and it’s cool to hear a different perspective of what other announcers think of my favorite squad, the Cubbies. Tonight i am sitting here listening to the guys who are the Giants announcers. In years past, i used to not really be a big fan of them, mainly because of how much they talked about Barry Bonds. But now that he isn’t around, i really have enjoyed listening to them tonight. Maybe it’s also due to the fact that the cubs are pounding the Giants tonight, but the 2 announcers have been enjoyable. They are really laid back, don’t talk to much, and have a little humor to mix in. 

Announcers i have learned this year i don’t really enjoy are the Dbacks announcers because they seem to just like to hear themselves talk. And also the Reds announcers, because they just seemed to spite the cubs and never had anything good to say. Anyway, we’ll see if i enjoy them again tomorrow.

Chunky Monkey is for sure my new favorite ice cream flavor, which is made by Ben and Jerry’s. Going to be tough to beat.
