I heard a minute of this on the radio today. Sutcliffe was babbling on about Bill Murray. What the hell was he talking about?
I wonder what 15 beers would do to Sterling.

Thank God he wasn't drivingSutcliffe issued this statement: "I appreciate the opportunity to address the situation that occurred last night in San Diego. While spending a week off in California, I planned a day of golf and attendance at a ball game as a fan with friends. I want to assure everyone that I was not drinking and driving. Towards the end of a long day on the golf course and evening at the game, I made a brief visit to my former co-workers in the Padres television broadcast booth.
"I was offered the opportunity to make a guest appearance on the air. At that time, I exercised bad judgment and accepted, even though I was not in optimum condition to go on live television. I regret that lapse in judgment and my decision and I sincerely apologize," he said.

Did he spend the day with Joe Namath?
Burns: I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation?
Smithers: Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently.
I can't wait to listen to this. Always high comedy when sports stars do stuff like this.
Damn. He broke out the "You're the best, man!"
I gotta admit it, though, if I was a retired baseball star, I'd drunk crash booths all the time.
Wow, this is hilarious.
"George Clooney, you hear about all of that?"
I live in San Diego, and I got home late from work to tune into the end of the Padres game. I was in the other room and heard the TV on and knew immediately he was wasted. I backed up the feed w/ my DVR to listen again! It was classic. The next day, he issued a statement saying how he was playing golf all day and that he was NOT drinking and driving. Hilarious. Hopefully ESPN w/ can his ass, he is annoying to the 10th power.
He might get his HR calls right
That sounds like more then beer on the brain...
The combination served Harry Caray well for decades.

I heard that last night, and it was terrible. He totally embarrassed himself, and what sucks is that he was invited up to the booth. No one could tell he was completely plastered?
He doesn't sound/look as bad on the TV feed as he does on the audio only feed that they hacked up
What's with the non-stop back patting going on in that booth
I remember when he would come back to TV after doing those three innings on WGN radio. He was so deep in the bag, I couldn't understand half the things he was saying.
Just tune in to any game to find that out.
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
"he's up there with the congress hes trying to get everybody to go over there and solve that thing"
I can't stand Sutcliffe but man that was funny.

"George Clooney?!"
Yeah, the whole part about Clooney was the best.
It really wasn't bad at all. He was faded, but they're the idiots who asked him to come be on air. He was sweet- no profanity, no ill temper, just bragginng about his baby girld. We've all been worse drunk.
Are we sure that wasn't Tommy Chong?
A well-placed "We'll be right back" ,followed by a quick cut to commercial was in order. Poor guy, that's pretty embarrasing!
No...no mman its not...man

When I watched the video of it, I got the feeling the guys knew he was hammered and chose to air it anyway because they thought it would be funny.

Then they shouldn't have acted so embarrassed when he started talking nonsense.

I wasn't saying that's what happened...but they way I heard the story, he just dropped by and they asked him if he wanted to go on air, when he obliged. Whoever asked him to go on air must have known that he was inebriated.

Yeah he sounds like he's more stoned than drunk.
Are we sure that wasn't Tommy Chong?
At least he didn't say he wanted to kiss anyone.
Bring back Ted Lilly!
if you look at the guys in the background, they are laughing their asses off. Sutcliffe was HAMMERED...simple as that!
Oh man...that's some funny stuff! The Clooney part was funny. I also loved how they were trying to tell him about how he was the answer to a trivia question and he's not paying any attention and just rambling on about nonsense!

I can smell the alcohol
It's good to know there over working on uh...IT."he's up there with the congress hes trying to get everybody to go over there and solve that thing"

LOL, this is made funnier by the fact he sounded exactly like someone I know (sober).
How did they let it go this far. I wonder if someone behind the scenes gets suspended/fired for letting him on the air.
Like I said, I think there was at least a somewhat intentional design to have him on air drunk.

No wonder Bill Murry refused to go up into the booth, this guy was SO embarrasing.
Unique way to bring awareness to George Clooney and the Darfurian genocide.
