OMG!  Talk about literally being caught with my pants down!  I made lots 
of mad dashes down the hall in a frantic effort to get back to the 
control board in time.

But we ran Milwaukee Brewer games and if Bob Eucker is announcing those 
short innings he usually tries to stretch it out a bit to give us local 
guys time to get back to the board.  The same for pitching changes.  At 
least he did it that way when I was running games back in the 80s and 
90s.  Sometimes he would even say something like "Let's give the board 
operators at our network affiliates time to get back to the control 
room, ..." or "Put that pizza down guys because we have a station break 
coming up for our local affiliates ..."  That's very considerate and one 
of the reasons that I love Eucker.
