Only time I really listen to the sports radio is during the Braves broadcasts. Sometimes the Hawks though I hate the ASG.
I do not want to take it out on the players and coaches.
Its too unproffessional with too much nonsense.

Great first from Huddy — knew he could do it.
We need him. And we have to get B Mac healthy and right however long it takes.
He has tried but it has not worked in the second half this yr and even last yrs second half.
I still want to give him another chance in 13 to see if he can recapture the old B-Mac — he is too young to be called done.

After Uggla hit the homerun, they showed Hudson in the dugout rubbing the back of his ear and then he put those fingers right at his nostrils. He was smelling the back of his ear. Ball players are weird.

There may be many dreaded T words, but really only one when talking about a pitcher’s elbow- Tommy John. (and yes, that is two words, but you KNOW WHAT I MEAN! )
@CAB — I do not like it that it might happen to Billingsley, but if it happens to Kershaw (and I do not know about his injury), that really stinks for all of baseball.
I do not like the Dodgers but baseball is a stronger game with its stars being healthy & its major markets in strong shape.
Even a team as rich as this new Dodger ownership has a limit on budgets, its not like that deal with the RS lit a fire for them. I do hope Carl Crawford is healthy for 13.
Even if they were right we might not have to worrry about the LAD this yr.
Its revenge time vs the Cards for last yr and man, that is the matchup I WANT and WANT A W vs them SO SO bad for last yr.
No injuries wanted, just throw your healthiest and best & beat em FAIR & SQUARE.
I DESPISE the Stl Cards, and I want revenge so badly.

Gil,
I know for the Dolphins game yesterday, in order to have a “sellout” and let the locals watch the game on TV, they distributed the unsold tix to the season ticket holders. So, it was a sellout with about 20,000 people disguised as orange seats, as Skip would’ve said.

BMac will return next spring, older, wiser and about 15 pounds lighter. I suspect we will learn he had some pretty heavy on going medical issues this season. The 13 mil will not be an issue.

McFann Nothing career ending, just as Heyward had a really down year last season because of a bad shoulder, I think we will learn the cyst on Mac’s shoulder caused him to alter his swing. It’s tough to take a full swing when you know it’s going to hurt like heck every time you do. You cannot help but have it in the back of your mind and it causes a lot of bad habits to begin.

Is there one person on this blog who can explain objectively why C.B. Bucknor has a job as a major league umpire.
This guy is not competent to umpire a dumpster league.
This BUMB belongs in a dupster and I don’t think he could even be a competend dumster diver.
There is ZERO accountability as far as umpiring in MLB. Its a welfare state when it comes to protecting these completely incompetent bozo umpires.
MLB will never do a thing to remove these incompetent BUMBS — once they are there they are as immovable as members of Congress. And that is incompetence.
