The Tribune reports that Sweet Uncle Lou will be making one of his legendary lineup changes. From this point forward, until Alfonso Soriano returns from what can best be described as a broken hand, Koss-Kay Fook-ooh-dough-may will be batting leadoff....

Goat Friend and Iowan broadcaster Jon Miller recently EMailed me from his boat because he'd noticed something of particular interest.  To paraphrase - because copying and pasting is just too much like cheating - Jon has noticed that in the 19-or-so...

For some crazy reason, I'm watching the Braves and Angels on Sunday Night Baseball rather than game 5 of the NBA finals. It's a good thing because I would have missed Jon Miller calling Joe Morgan, Dr. Morgan, two dozen times. (Morgan received an...

I probably should have taken a pad and paper with me to make notes, but it would have been drenched once we left the ballpark anyway, as rain started coming down in a torrent probably around the fifth or sixth inning. Luckily, the Jays play in the...

With the Fonz wearing a cast, the Cubs have a lot of options in terms of how to best modify the lineup to keep the team competitive and competent.  I'm going to present a short list of possibilities - not that Lou will necessarily see it this way -...

"Hear me live at 3:05?"  Ernie Banks, you know you're jealous. I forgot to mention it last week, but I will be on Jon Miller's kick-ass show heard on KXNO 1460 out of De Moines, Iowa, which you can listen to live via internet stream.  Jon..

It's the thought process that counts, and mark my words, before this season is over, Angel Berroa will blow a routine play or just fail to get to a ball that Chin-Lung Hu would have gotten to. The Dodgers are just so infuriating right now; what's the...

The Chicago Cubs Pre World Series Victory Tour continues on the west coast this week as they play four games against the ever-dangerous Dodgers. Maybe I'm being a little facetious with the whole "Pre World Series Victory Tour," or...

First up... Steve Phillips. (yes that was done with MS Paint...I have Photoshop but I have no idea what I'm doing) Steve Phillips: (1:40 PM ET ) I lived through similar circumstances with Bobby Valentine. Ozzie, like Bobby, lacks that filter...

First, I would like to take this opportunity to mention that I am an idiot. (Many of you are not surprised.) I was on the Jon Miller Show again yesterday, and I forgot to promote it on GROTA. I always was a fool of a Took. Second. I think we are...

Always fun to listen to the out of town call. I got to enjoy Jon Miller calling the Giants game - how refreshing!Don't judge Miller by either ESPNs production values or by Joe Morgan dumbing him down.Miller more or less works alone. He has a partner...
