Favorite Announcers -- Past & Present

A topic came up on our show last night -- who is your favorite sports announcer? It could be any sport. Who is the voice of your childhood? Let us know who your favorite is! Or, who is your least favorite? Whom can't you stand? Who makes you want to gouge your ears out?

NFL Draft

NFL Draft day has finally come! How did your team fare? Do you agree with the picks? Do you agree with Mel Kiper? Or would you like to ruffle his hair a little? I know I would!

Beat Reports

Hey, all non-Yankee fans! Here's your spot to sound off on your favorite team.

Let it rip!

Earth Day!!!

Celebrate Earth Day today! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

The Nationals new baseball stadium is certified Green. This is the first stadium to do so. Let's hope that all new stadia strive to follow suit! (Ahem, Hank Steinbrenner!)

Technical Difficulties

If you tried to listen to our show last night, we weren't on. Apparently the building in which the radio staion is housed lost power earlier in the day and we lost our signal. We tried to boot up the system and broadcast, but I couldn't get the station connected to the internet.

So, sorry if you were disappointed last night!

Yanks-Bosox, Take #1

OK, we've had our first official tasting of the annual Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. To our dismay, the Red Sox came out on top, 2-1. Hate it.

Chien-Ming Wang pitched an absolute gem on Friday with a complete game 2-hitter. That set the bar pretty high for the pitchers for the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately, our Yankees did not live up to it. Moose gave up 4 runs in 5.2 innings, along with that bad decision to pitch to Mann-Ram. And Phil Hughes looked absolutely lost last night, giving up 6 earned runs (+1 unearned!) in 2, count 'em, 2 innings of play. And could last night's game have crept along any more slowly? Daisuke Matsuzaka didn't look too sharp, either. If Yanks-Sox games are going to last 4+ hours, ESPN may want to rethink their start time of 8pm.

Did anybody else notice that ARod went 0-5 last night and 2-13 on the series with 0 RBI? Come on!

Are we entering into the era of "Clueless" Joe Girardi? That decision to pitch to Mann-Ram in the second game seemed foolish. Why not walk the bases loaded and let Moose pitch to Youkilis? I don't get it. Why put Posada behind the plate in the third game with his "dead arm"? The Red Sox ran all over him.

Jeter, Posada, come back! We need you!

Baseball Musings

Hey, Batter, Batter! How is your favorite baseball team (American, National, Mexican, Fantasy League or otherwise!) faring thus far?

The Ball Is Tipped!

The ball is tipped
and there you are
you're running for your life
you're a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But time is short
and the road is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that moment's gone
And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of your heart
feel the wind in your face
it's more than a contest
it's more than a race...

And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT....

(music & lyrics by David Barrett, sung by the late Luther Vandross)

After "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", this is my favorite sports song.

Kansas beats Memphis 75-68 in OT!!!

Opening Day Postponed

Hey all! We're going to cut our show a little short this evening and just go on from 5-6pm. Yankees Opening Day was postponed yesterday (we were there!), so we have to run home a watch the game at 7pm. We gave our tickets to some other dedicated Yankee fans.

So, what do you folks think of Hideki Matsui's new bride?
