They must cost absolutely nothing. Why else would we keep them around? They're terrible at what they do, they have no name recognition, they've got such distinctive voices that 15 years later we still can't tell them apart and, oh yeah, they're not Astros fans.

Sure, and I'm the last to defend Milo, but at least he's a genuine legend PBP guy. I mean, you know his voice instantly. He's in the parking lot of the Hall of Fame.

They were telling the story of Game 6 during the Mets series. I swear to God, I nearly fell asleep in the car. It takes a special lack of talent to make Game 6 boring.

He's trying to prolong his MLB experience. Much as I'd like to see Hall get the boot, I expect Inglett to be gone when Barmes is activated. (Keppinger is our best hope at being rid of Hall.)

You know, Carlos used to live right down the way from me but a year and a half ago or so he completed a house another two hours away. He doesn't even live off the main highway anymore, he lives off the road going to Chitré.

So in other words while I'd be happy to go have a chat with him over the ASB (assuming he's not al All Star) it will be more inconvenient than it might have been in years past.

Is there anyone in the world who DIDN'T know Pence would strike out on a slider 12 feet off the plate? Hmmm? Anyone?

I did not know that. That's fine with me.

I wish the NFL would use local announcers for local games.

Wait a second; you guys got the SA broadcasters on NBAtv last night? We got the Memphis broadcasters here. I thought I knew what homerism was.
