Re: 6/17 GC
Can the Cardinals bat the pitcher instead of Kozma?

Blyleven: "If the Cardinals keep playing this well, they're going to the post-season."
You have to be a Hall of Famer to impart that kind of insight.

Re: 6/17 GC
The Twins' first round pick is in the booth being interviewed. He's clearly has no idea who Bert Blyleven is, much to the annoyance of Bert Blyleven.

Thought the same thing.
I don't care if he plays defense with a frying pan, Greg Garcia has to be a better alternative.

This coming after his solid career as a reliever.

I'm almost serious. There's part of me that would rather see Martinez go up there and take his three wild hacks and maybe get ahold of one than watch Kozma go through one hapless at bat after another.

How do you beat Tommy Milone? This guy is just too good.

It's even funnier if you live in Boston. There's a 600-pound blabbermouth named Mike Adams who does the night time shift on WEEI. His crush on Tom Brady is so intense it even embarrasses Boomer Esiason.

Re: 6/17 GC
Martinez throws like its a wiffle ball.
Nightside at WEEI sounds almost as bad as being Throatzilla.

The Cardinals might have a better chance if Mike Adams and Roy Holliday were in the lineup.

His show is called "Planet Mikey," because he's out there even by sports talk radio standards. Other than worshipping Brady, he doesn't really stay current, so what he usually ends up tallking about are, in relative order:
1. Himself
2. Brady
3. Food
4. Classic rock
5. The '67 Red Sox

Re: 6/17 GC
When Adams came from Hartford, he became the weekend sports anchor at New England Cable News, which was brand new at the time. Their first lead sports anchor was a guy named Jimmy Young, who was terrific, but Adams was just a chore. He'd sit in the press box at Fenway, stuff his face (food was provided for free by the Red Sox back then) and not only not watch the game, but distract the people around him from watching the game. I even saw Gammons tell him once to stop talking.
After Young retired, Adams became the lead sports anchor at NECN, and then became notorious for a moment when he quit on the air. He called the program director "a back-stabbing Judas," took off his mic and walked off the set. He supposedly went back to Hartford but came back a few years later and started working at WEEI.

He should host a show with Kevin Slaten.

Re: 6/17 GC
There must be some history between Blyleven and Joe West, because Blyleven has been really critical of West tonight. And West hasn't been bad tonight, by Joe West standards.

Excepting the time he quit on the air, there's really not a lot of anger or shouting. It's goofball stuff. For instance: He's been making fun of John Jaha's name for 25 years. He'll accentuate the first syllable of the last name: "JAAAA-ha." I doubt 90 percent of his audience even knows John Jaha was a baseball player. And there's no context. He'll just drop in something like "I wonder if John JAAAA-ha is eating la-SAAA-gna right now" when one of his in-studio guests is actually trying to answer a caller's question about a current topic.

Re: 6/17 GC
I don't get it -- John Jaha played for the Brewers and I think A's. How does he think making a reference to an obscure player from the 1990s is funny?

Mike Adams is one of the reasons I wake up every morning and thank Howard Stern for keeping satellite radio alive.
