Thom Brennaman Crying – I’m Here for That

The Cincinnati Reds had a 3-1 lead going into the seventh. Luis Castillo dazzled Chicago Cubs hitters and out-pitched struggling veteran Jon Lester. It looked like the Reds were about to rebound from the Thursday whitewashing to take the series 3-1.

But in that seventh inning, and after Castillo left the game, Kris Bryant sent Reds fans home very unhappy.

As you could imagine, this sent former Cubs broadcaster, and current I cry anytime the Cubs do anything, Thom Brennaman into a frizzy.

This is becoming an annual thing with Thom. He ripped Cubs fans back in 2016 for celebrating in a visiting ballpark. He’s taken issue with Javier Baez and his “cockiness.” He was almost sympathetic towards Addison Russell for everything he had to “suffer” through.

As a child, as Thom was the Cubs broadcaster, Steve Stone would tease him on his ears. As a boy who would turn WGN on as soon as I got home from school, I picked up on the robbing of his oversized ears. So, of course when I had the chance to meet Thom I – thinking this was a compliment – mentioned his ears weren’t *that* big. He didn’t necessarily like that.

Thom – 0
