Buck is disappointed with "Chai Tea" drinkers.

[Tx Oriole]

If there was ever a team that represented chai tea drinkers, it's the Cubs and everyone who roots for them.

What's wrong with that kind of tea?

This thread is inscrutable.

Well he mispronounced the words with great disdain.

I wonder who on the team earned his ire.

I don't get it. I don't understand what wrong with a player drinking that brand of

tea?

It's sort of like the Starbuck's fetish. Double lotte half caf? grande, etc. Here: http://www.chai-tea.org/whatisit.html Google is a wonderful thing.

There is a difference between chai tea, a chai tea latte, and chai tea flavored bottled drinks. But that's me being pedantic again.

And I have no idea what is going on in this thread. :laughlol:

I happen to love chai tea. I'm deeply offended by Buck's remark.

I love it, also.

In fact, when I went out food shopping after last night's game, I got a bottle ........ even though I had no intention of buying any until I saw this thread.

Like Clarence said to George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life ...... it's funny how each man's life affects so many others'.

This is a vague, misleading reference. It would be helpful if this thread provided the actual quote and its context.

"If you watch him [Trumbo] during the game, he's a real student of the pitchers. Listening to him talking in the advance meetings and seeing him in the video room all the time, this guy is a student of the other pitcher. He's not up the runway drinking some chai tea or something. He's getting ready for his next at-bat, trying to look for an edge -- not that anything's wrong with tea."

Thanks, Paul "Harvey" Folk!

Always good to hear the rest of the story!

Bubble Tea is where it's at.

You should watch his face during the video. Buck is not pleased with the tea drinkers...

It's great that the quote became availalbe. In my cord cutting/mlbtv extravaganza I managed to retain basic cable plus MASN on one TV, with no DVR. So I can never quite get those quotes until someone posts them. Thanks to Paul and John Meoli for getting the words. If not the facial ticks.
