Van Ryn gets nailed

Sounds like a tag for some gay porn.... but no...

I think that's what TBS stands for. Even as a loyal Jays fan, I cannot stand Buck Martinez. He was a catcher wasn't he? So doesn't that mean he should know a thing or two about baseball? These guys are BRUTAL. Again, as a fan from the American League, watching the National League Championship was that more exciting, due to seasoned veterans of the broadcast booth. And then they had that idiot with the wig (Craig Sager), and the horrible suit doing coverage at field level. What's he supposed to be? The Don Cherry of baseball? At least Don is amusing to watch, this guy is just amusing to look at. I never thought I'd get to the day where I prayed for something to be on the Fox network. At least they have good play by play guys. I started to listen to the games on the radio with Dan Schulman, or John Miller, or whoever ESPN had covering the games. Seriously, I don't care how much money TBS paid for those rights, please MLB, don't let them cover the playoffs.

Back to Buck.... he has horrible insight. Some of the pitches that he was predicting were hilarious - if he was behind the plate, the Rays would have got killed - for his lack of professional opinion to call a game. I'd shake off everything he gave me. What a tool.

What an idea, bring a guy, who to my knowledge hasn't done colour commentating, or hasn't done it long enough in Ron Darling, keep Buck on XM, he's better at taking phone calls, and Chip Caray? Who names their kid Chip? What flavour?

Happy Heckler

A few years ago I learned about this guy, and thought it was awesome. I've heard him on the broadcasts before, and when the Jays played the Rays they would sometime mention him. I read a bit on him in a local paper talking about how he was Canadian and a loyal fan to the Rays, but had a hard time deciding who to cheer for when the Jays were in town. Nonetheless, pretty cool to be known around the league as the happy heckler, Robert Szasz. Listen for him when the ALCS begins, you can hear him, even with the Trop full.

The 'C' String

Just doesn't do it for me....

Hockey, hockey, hockey

Our beloved game is back. How's this for a creative sign?

Frat Fun

57 members of a fraternity down in the great state of Tennessee got arrested this week for partying too hard? They were out in a campground, setting off fireworks, and celebrating their teams 4th straight victory. Cops were called, and 57 guys went 'downtown'. My favourite part about this story, are the smiles on some of these guys faces. And then the guys who are scared shitless of their fathers finding out. It is the south.... I'd be afraid of my father too!
