The Cubs and Cardinals are on ESPN right now, so I’m in a baseball mood. For those of you that didn’t hear the news last week, Mark Grace, a Diamondbacks color analyst and one of my favorite former Cubs players, let the F-bomb slip on-air about four times during what he thought was a private conversation with a producer during a D-Backs/Marlins game. A faulty “talk-back” button was blamed for the, uh, malfunction.
Gracie basically takes a few shots at D-Backs catcher Chris Snyder, unknowingly airing it to regional Fox viewers. Can’t Stop the Bleeding, a fine sports blog, has an MP3, including play-by-play man Thom Brennaman’s apology. Hilarious. (So far, I’ve seen no comments from Snyder.)
Also, baseball fans should make Yard Work a daily read. I won’t do it justice trying to explain its contents. Just read it.
nice, thanks for finding that. can’t believe i have gracie on my iPod now. love that guy.

Excellent MP3 of Gracie. He never was the best or the brightest, but dammit he was a Cub.
