Matt Vasgersian, not a fan of the Mound City

Sam DC passes along this link where Padres TV announcer was quoted (he thought we was off the air) speaking ill of the good denizens of the Mound City.

The language is not suitable for reprinting in a family-oriented blog.

No Ted Drewes and no toasted ravioli for you, Matt!

Mound City? Never heard that one before.

I actually kind of chuckled at the transcript, but then I'm not from Mound City.

3 I used to live in Illinois (Chicago) and heard about those mounds downstate but had forgotten. I thought 'Mound City' might have referred to some geographical feature, like rolling bluffs along the river.
