Typical Sports Talk Show Caller Guy: I'm Smarter than the Manager

Talk Show Host: What's on your mind today Typical Caller Guy?

Typical Caller Guy: Willie Randolph does nothing on the bench. He looks like he buys a ticket for the game. They hit into five double plays, and he never hit and run once. Not once.

Talk Show Host:
You're going to blame Willie for his players hitting into double plays?

Typical Caller Guy:
But he doesn't try. Why is he bringing in Heilman? Why does he take out Oliver Perez in the 5th inning? Why did he leave Johan in the game when he was obviously gassed? He does nothing. And why did he cut Ruben Gotay. Gotay should be their second baseman.

Talk Show Host:
He didn't think Gotay could field.

Typical Caller Guy: Well he can field. And he's better than Luis Castillo he's a bum, it's ridiculous that they cut Gotay.

Talk Show Host: Don't you think Willie Randolph, who played second base for solid teams in major league baseball knows when a player can't field?

Typical Caller Guy: No, he's out of touch. Gotay is way better than Castillo.

Talk Show Host: If Gotay is so much better than Castillo why hasn't he found a starting job yet.

Typical Caller Guy: He's buried on the Braves bench, but that's not the point he should have a starting job with the Mets.

Talk Show Host: But Randolph didn't think he could play 2nd.

Typical Caller Guy: He's wrong.

Talk Show Host: Ok, you're smarter than Willie Randolph

Typical Caller Guy: Ya, Randolph is an idiot he's a horrible manager he can't manage at all.

Talk Show Host: Ok. [click]

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
