Ball 4...Ball 8...












Norm MacDonald and Artie Lange talking about Bob is great:

How are they laying off pitches this close?!

 

[JumperJack]

Well damn. My first exposure to him was through the beer commercials when I was maybe 7 or 8. Another good thing gone. RIP.

 

[Dore95]

Should correct the spelling of his name!

“When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.”

Blast from the past longtime voice in MLB. I will always remember him for his performance in the movie Major League.

 

[FiveStarCat]

That was juussst a bit outside

David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78

With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

RIP

 

[Orville Boggs]

Didn't he do old Miller Time commercials back in the day?

Now, remember this
When the horizon is at the bottom, it's interesting.
When the horizon is at the top, it's interesting.
When the horizon is in the middle, it's boring as shit.

My nephew thought it was boring

And he LOVES baseball. It’s pretty much all he does

 

[trueblujr2]

Dayum that sucks, but not gonna lie, I thought he was already gone.

 

[rudd1]

-wild at heart is my favorite Lynn effort... blue velvet is great as well.

 

[txcat24]

I loved him on late night talk shows making fun of himself. He talked about how he made himself look fast by being able to knock his hat off while running to first base so it looked like the speed of the wind knocked it off.

Dayum that sucks, but not gonna lie, I thought he was already gone.

Bob was still calling Brewers games on a limited schedule through last season. I have a signed baseball by Mr. Uecker.

 

[Nightwish84]

Legend.

He was one of those "I love to smoke" old school guys and unfortunately ended up on oxygen and couldn't leave his home. Once I heard that, I knew it wouldn't be too long.

[Kooky Kats]

Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch were a visceral treasure

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Gone too soon.

 

[CondorCat]

When Uecker was a catcher with the Atlanta Braves, he explained how he caught Phil Niekro's knuckleball: "Wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up."

Shit man I thought the Dokken guitarist died at first. Here’s a picture of him.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Damn RIP.

Gotta say though, not much of a fan of his work. Most of his films were just too weird for my liking. Everything seemed to be in an ambiguous dream state where you don't know what's real and what isn't. But I guess that's the point..

 

[Wildcats1st]

I thought he died long ago

 

[It'saDoneDeal]

Ugh. What a legend and such an interesting dude.

Twin Peaks was so unique. I came across some long-form video on Youtube a couple of years ago that gave a really interesting analysis with a main premise that a lot of the show was a commentary on the TV/sitcom medium itself, which I tend to agree with although Lynch's stuff was so surreal it's hard to prove definite meanings.

The return with the even weirder third season had an episode (episode 8, or "Gotta Light?") that is the wildest episode of television I've ever seen. Just the craziest, most insane, visually stunning, terrifying episode of TV I've seen or will likely ever see again. Just as a piece of art it's something I'd recommend anyone watch.

RIP.

Eraserhead is in my Top 10 "wtf movies". Weird but somehow I still watch it.

Who killed Laura Palmer? Good TV back then.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

We lost a National Treasure today. The Rodney Dangerfield of baseball, also a terrific announcer

Eraserhead scrambles my brain haha

 

[FirewithFire]

Bob Uecker was a funny dude. Back in the day I used to watch the Wacky World of Sports on Saturdays mornings. Good times.

 

[WildcatFan1982]
