Chris is known for his baseball name sayings like.......

  1. Bert "Be home" Blyleven
  2. Mike "Nova" Scioscia
  3. John "I am not a" Kruk

Let's see who can make up a good one, or steal one from the internet. LOL.

    C'mon steve boy. I just did three money themes all by myself. To prove Mike Schmidt was
    better than George Brett, I challenge you to come up with either three political themes,
    or three names under any theme. If you do it, I will personally say that I was (insert the Fonz
    here) about Mike Schmidt.

    Yea, I'll get back to ya on all that. 🙄

    Berman in general is like nails on a chalkboard for me but he did have some amazing catch phrases.

    Him showing a highlight of a RB slipping multiple tackles always cracked me up “Whooop” “Whooop” 😂

    **Berman in general is like nails on a chalkboard **

    I feel the same way, I guess I heard his "He might go all the way" BS one too many times and after that he was old schtick that was never funny.

    I think his middle name is “Yet I still won a World Series MVP against the Royals”. A bit long and not too catchy I will concede

    George "I sat against lefties to win 1990 batting title because I am a selfish pu&$Y" Brett.

    Or

    George 'It took me 1,500 more plate appearances to get ONE more career RBI than Mike Schmidt" Brett

    Or

    George "just because I got lucky hot for 166 post season at bats doesn't make me have a clutch gene, otherwise I would have used that clutch gene to perform at that level more in the regular season...which means I would have gotten to MORE post seasons to show my so called clutchness....so it must make me stupid for not tapping into that clutch gene more in the regular season so my team could make it to the playoffs more" Brett

    Or

    George "I am extremely soft because I was only able to eclipse 150 games in a seasons six times in my career and therefore my softness and avoiding lefties ultimately hurt my team more than what my rate stats show" Brett

    Or

    George "If I am so clutch, then how come the ONLY reason I even won ONE world series is because a blind umpire missed a call at first base" Brett

    Wow, you folks really can't get enough of George bashing (or Schmidt bashing), can you?

    To return to the original title of the thread:

    Roger up the down Bannister.

    And I agree that Berman was tough to listen to.
