August 18, 200323 yr Dysfunctional fun at the old ballpark By Johnny Rosenstein Tribune staff reporter August 17, 2003, 11:31 PM CDT Fifty-four-year-old rock 'n' roller Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" for the seventh-inning stretch Sunday at Wrigley Field. One can't blame Ozzy for not knowing the words, since he was born in Birmingham, England. But in the overall picture, it was pure Ozzy. Chip Caray: "All right, Chicago. Here comes Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne." Ozzy: "All right, Chicago. I want to hear a real crazy crowd start singing. Are you ready? Are you ready? I can't hear you. Are you ready? "One. Two. Three. "Let's go out to the ballgame. Let's go out to the bluhhhhhn. "Take me a ee-yan eeya (humming) the field. "I don't care if I ahh-uhn ack. "Da da da da duh da da da eam. Duh ee, da da da da dahhh. "For a fee, two, three strikes you're out at the old ballgame. Yeahhhhhh." Sharon: "Now let's get some runs." Ozzy: "Yeah. Let's get some runs." Near the end of the broadcast, WGN-Ch. 9 showed a replay of legendary Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully giving the thumbs up after Osbourne's rendition. "If you get the seal of approval from Hall of Famer Vin Scully, you know you're doing OK," Caray said. one of the funnies things i have ever heard
August 18, 200323 yr Was Ozzy Drunk? Nope, just par for the course with Ozzy. Suprised he didn't finish it off by biting the head off a pigeon :o
August 18, 200323 yr No, you know what was bad? The guy on Wednesday at the Marlins game who didn't know the words to the National Anthem. THAT was bad.
August 18, 200323 yr Author No, you know what was bad? The guy on Wednesday at the Marlins game who didn't know the words to the National Anthem. THAT was bad. he was French or something, and he was reading from a few sheets of paper and he dropped the papers... it was classic and pathetic
August 19, 200323 yr I like the Osbourn show but his music and how he acts is so Stupid! He is getting old anyways...
August 19, 200323 yr Its pretty sad that a guy who made a living destroying himself with drugs and booze during his peak is now more popular than ever just because he's a blubbering fool. He's paraded around by that dictator Sharon for appearances all over the place when he should be in an old folks home. he's 54 going on 104. He was the same way when I saw him at Ozzfest a few weeks ago.
August 19, 200323 yr That shows you that drugs don't take you nowhere. They take you places. Its just that the end of the trip may not be where you wanted to go.

August 19, 200323 yr That shows you that drugs don't take you nowhere. like a hit tv show and millions and millions of $$$$$$$$? :shifty time to light up
August 19, 200323 yr Is it me, or during the replay, instead of "I don't care if I ever get back" he said " I don't know what I had to drink". Thoughts?

August 19, 200323 yr I swear he said "I don't know what I had to drink" Or at least that's what it sounded like on SportsCenter.
August 19, 200323 yr I swear he said "I don't know what I had to drink" Or at least that's what it sounded like on SportsCenter. I wrote it down when they showed that segment again on the replay of SC. In that line, he said: "I don't know what I have to do." :lol
