@JimmyTraina As long as we're micromanaging game broadcasts using multiple announcers, there should also be a "calm" setting for less chatter, less hype, and fewer features, one that lets the broadcast breathe. Like Ralph Kiner calling a Sunday afternoon #Mets game in 1971.

John @Buccigross's #MFrozenFour, announcing partner @ColbyCohen36 sounds so much like Milwaukee #Brewers analyst @VinnyRottino that I've been waiting for his scouting report on some pitching prospect from Kenosha. #CawlidgeHawkey

The @NCAAIceHockey #MFrozenFour is underway now on ESPN2, live from Las Vegas.

@Buccigross, calling his 13th Frozen Four, is joined by 2009 Most Outstanding Player @ColbyCohen36. Always a great event. 🏒

@HRBlockAnswers Have you corrected the sales tax rate for City of Milwaukee addresses, which was incorrect in the 2024 Wisconsin Deluxe & State software, for calculating Use Tax? It's a total of 7.9%, which is 5.0% Wisconsin + 0.9% Milwaukee County + ***2.0%*** Milwaukee City.

Completely agree with @DimTillard that @MLB teams need to feature ballpark organists during day games. The @Brewers 7th inning stretch with the wimpy, prerecorded accordion version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame just ain't cutting it.

@JohnCleese Perhaps they are busy hanging a picture in the lobby.

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

@JordanLoppnow So you're saying there's a chance?

@kjf3009 Classic! Bob Costas also featured that story in a funny interview fairly recently. He fed Ueck softballs and Ueck clobbered them.

The soundtrack of Wisconsin summers.

[Adam McCalvy @AdamMcCalvy]

It’s the day we all hoped would never come. Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brewers for the last 54 years and “Mr. Baseball” to fans around the world, passed away overnight, according to his family and the team. He was 90.

Summers in Wisconsin will never be the same.

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

Yep - anyone who can leave the taciturn Eddie Murray in tears laughing is a Hall of Fame raconteur.

[Tom @Haudricourt]

Bob Uecker fans who need something to smile about today should go to YouTube and call up his Hall of Fame induction speech. It is a 20-minute master class in self-deprecating humor. Hall of Fame players on stage were left in stitches.

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

@kjf3009 Thanks, Ken. He'll be missed is an understatement. Loved his Hall of Fame speech, and glad he got the chance to celebrate one last NL CentraI title with the team. Trust you've seen the Letterman show bit in which Norm MacDonald tells a story of Ueck and John Fogerty - classic!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Inflation has now fallen to 2.1% – nearly at its 2% target.

While critics said we needed a recession to lower inflation, we did it while creating 16 million jobs and growing our economy at the fastest rate of any presidential term in the 21st century.

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

@DanRShafer @CivicMediaUS Seems like a great fit. Congrats!

@Dave_Steele Dave - as long as we're advocating for good ideas, we need the 90 Stadium bus back! Not every ticket holder patronizes the bars that run shuttles. 🚌

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

@Haudricourt @MKEPressClub Congratulations, Tom! I'm old enough to recall the Journal Sentinel promos featuring yourself and @DrewOlsonMKE as the tag team tandem on the Brewers beat.

@WiscoGrant RIP our 2001 Toyota, long may our 2006 live

[Bob Wait @bobwait]

@BNightengale So far, so good! We'll see how they do down the stretch.

@MerriamWebster I place the comma outside the close-quote in most instances other than the depiction of dialogue. If the comma is not part of a title, for instance, it belongs outside the quotes. https://t.co/gzsN7DLVMJ

@TheJeditor A couple of very small keys, like for suitcases or typewriter cases or something.
