Everybody's gotta hang it up sometime, but he's gonna be sorely, sorely missed. Such an amazing sense of humor, timing, and really knows baseball and how to call a game. Dude is an absolute insitution in Milwaukee, and it's a real shame that team just never quite got it together to ever get a World Series while he was there.
And sorry for using the past tense for Bob. Nothing's been announced yet, and I wouldn't expect anything until after the World Series, but from everything I heard and read about after the game, it sure looks like he's done. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to be wrong. The game is better with Bob in it.
Bob Uecker used to comment on women in the crowd while he was announcing. Like, during plays.
I had the stupid Seahawks/Giants on the TV and kind of forgot there were other playoff series going on today.... flipped over just in time to see the Phillies' back to back homers. [Reply]

It’s the craziest week in the history of the team by leaps and bounds. They have somehow gained the superpower resilience of the Chiefs over the last 6 days. It’s something to behold.
They probably won’t make it out of the bottom of the 9th but I’m so proud of these guys. [Reply]
