Bob Uecker Does Not Care For Your Twittering, Loves Miller Lite

Thursday, April 30, 2009

Right Field Bleachers, did Yeoman's work in getting hilarious audio from last night's Brewers' game, in which announcer Bob Uecker goes off on blogging and twittering for a good two minutes. Oh and he adds in that he drinks Miller Lite for breakfast....



Now that's funny....I don't care who you are. I'm with Ueck as far as Twitter goes. Actually, that and the beer for breakfast thing as well.

Artie Lange Tells Great Stories About Caray And Uecker

Thursday, March 05, 2009

Comedian Artie Lange was on Letterman the other night, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, decided to share a handful of stories on a pair of Baseball announcers. The first is a tale of Bob Uecker's use of the "cough button", and the second is about the drinking habits of Harry Caray. Via NQTC....



That's a pretty strong Caray to tell you the truth. I also always wondered about some of the more creative ways to use the cough button. Good stuff.

Bob Uecker's Yacht Wrecked By Freighter

Thursday, June 19, 2008


Brewer's radio announcer and actor Bob Uecker's yacht struck by a freighter while docked near Milwaukee yesterday. Before you start freaking out Bob wasn't on board, and neither was anyone else, so no one got hurt (which is good). Still, the boat took on some serious damage....

Actor and Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer Bob Uecker will need to get himself a new boat as his yacht was damaged when it was hit by a 550-foot freighter on Tuesday.

The freighter crashed into the yacht while it was docked near Milwaukee, causing thousands of dollars in damage, WISC-TV reported.

Uecker was supposed to use the boat in his charity fishing tournament on Thursday and a local boat dealer has loaned him another boat for the event.
There's no report yet on the speedo that Bob will wear for the charity event but I hoping for the leopard print. Also, 550 foot freighter?! How is that thing still floating? I'm picturing Rodney Dangerfield plowing into Judge Smails little wooden boat, but I know nothing about yachts (obviously), so I could be completely off base with the reenactment in my head.
