A less masculine Abby Wambach.

My kids go to school with a Fox and a Coyote(pronounced Ky-O-Tay). I still think the ___den names annoy me more.

Hell...I'd take Rudi Stein.

Set him up with some new blinkers to avoid distractions.

A true baseball broadcasting legend. Growing up in the 80's, I loved listening to Vin and Joe G call those Saturday games of the week. Cliche but they don't make announcing teams like that anymore.

and get her to the hospital before the labor progresses too far. My wife was like the deer in Tommy Boy trying to bust out of the car.

I just don't see soft toss translating to late inning success. Batters tend to lock in better and umpires generally shrink the strike zone in the later innings.

No staff ace. I don't believe Richards is that guy, and it's pretty much a prerequisite for WS contenders. I hope I'm wrong about Richards, but I don't think so.

Malcolm in the Middle was a great little show. Jane Kaczmarek and Brian Cranston were so good in their roles.

Not sure it fits under the sitcom genre, but The Wonder Years is my all-time favorite network, half hour comedy.

Absolutely....yes please. The sooner the better. Enough of the subjective strike zones. I'm tired of hearing the term(s) 'pitchers/hitters umpire'.

A-Rod's career is a sham and will never be recognized by the HOF. He's even less likable than Pierzynski who is also a Fox guy. Who's next...Clemens?

Canadians are kinky.

I think bat flipping is a little out of control these days. Guys need to act like they've been there before. But in saying that, I liked Dallas Braden's comment last night...'If a pitcher doesn't want to get dressed up, keep it in the yard'.

Went last night and it was shoulder to shoulder people everywhere at 10pm on a Tuesday during the school year. The passes expire today so we had one last hoorah. By the end of the night my oldest whispers to me 'Disneyland DOES suck'. Music to my ears.

It's no Ryder Cup, but I'm still looking forward to it. I read today where there are more cell phones in South Korea than people and that silent mode when taking pictures is illegal. Bubba is going to lose his s*#t on a Korean.

DL is very princess driven. Cal Adventure is almost the opposite.

I'd say it's more than 50% of our friends/acquaintances...BUT we have girls. I don't see nearly as many little boys.

Our 4 passes expire tomorrow, and after 2 years we're going to let them go. The kids have had their fill, so it's time to use the money and time for other things. After shelling out nearly 3k, you feel obliged to spend your free time there. Most things in life aren't worth the price, and Disneyland should be at the top of that list. The rides are very average and break down ALL THE TIME, the lines are long, the food is garbage and overpriced, they don't serve alcohol, idiots start clogging up the walk ways 3 hours before parades, people move at a glacier pace in general, and when did fat and lazy qualify someone to rent a scooter? Shouldn't those be reserved for the actual handicapped?

3 that I really enjoyed... The Last Boy:Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood(Jane Leavy) Sandy Koufax:A Lefty's Legacy(Jane Leavy) Leavy definitely does her homework. Slick:My Life in and Around Baseball(Whitey Ford) Priceless stories about the 50's and 60's Yankees, especially Ford's 2 best friends Mantle and Billy Martin.

As someone who has studied and followed sports media closely for nearly 40 years, I can say with all confidence that Lodge is the worst in the business. Past and present.

I don't subscribe to 'baseball is just better when the Mets and Yankees are good'. Why? To whom? I couldn't care less about New York teams winning. The 'best crowds' are there through thick and thin. St Louis Cardinals, Golden State Warriors, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers. Mets fans are front runners who are currently out of their hibernation.

Eric Byrnes was on MLBNet the other night and he said Pierzynski is a player you hate when he's on the other team. You only hate him a little less when he's on yours.

Yogi Berra?
