Because I am too cheap to pay for cable, last night’s World Series game between the Cubs and the Indians was the first one all season I’ve been able to watch on TV in the peace and comfort of my own living room. Usually it’s my custom to listen to Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer on the radio, WSCR (670 AM). Though I still miss the original Ron—Santo—Pat’s voice never fails to comfort and soothe me, even when the Cubs are irrevocably losing.

And then there was Pete Rose, yammering on about how he totally expected Kyle Schwarber to strike out at his every at-bat this game because he’d been out all season. At least Schwarber proved him wrong in his very next at-bat with a resounding double.

If you have any other solutions, please feel free to share them in the comments. I mean, solutions that don’t involve killing Joe Buck.
