I think Buckarver, when they say "redundant", actually mean "babbling irrelevance".

Sir, did you once play for, work for, or possibly root for one of the two teams playing tonight?

Do you speak English or some other language well enough to communicate a simple list?

Are you able to read off this cue card or at least stare at this cue card?

How would you like to be on FOX?

McCarver thinks that less that 50% = "always".

If Tim McCarver were to lose the use of one of his senses, and could CHOOSE which sense to lose, that sense would be "oboe."

Anyone else holding their breath waiting for Timmy to connect the dots between the most walks and the best BAA? If I disappear for 30 mins, send paramedics.

Mizzou is due to beat OU. But it wont happen this year.

Whats funny is that on TBS Ernie Johnson and John Smoltz would be just fine together, but they can't have that. They got to have an annoyance factor so they added Ron Darling. There must have been some study from some marketing consulting firm from Boston that recommends having an annoyance factor in the booth. All the Networks adhere to it.

The Giants played 171 games this year. The Phillies 170. That's 241 games combined.

This is one (of many) reasons why I find the automatic 50-game suspension for PEDs to be troublesome (and why I generally despise WADA). As an athlete you are deemed responsible for everything you put into your body. What is to stop some crazed Philly fan (or any fan) working at a restaurant, etc. from spiking a players food with some prohibit chemical? Don't get me wrong, you cheat you should get pounded. However, you get your food spiked, you take a supplement that is spiked with banned substances (which are not included on the label, or included under a different chemical name for the same compound, e.g. Daniel Meszaros), 50 games it too steep.

I'm sure "beyond a reasonable doubt" is inherent in their decision process and their lawyers likely are involved in the appeal process we don't see. 100% accurate? Certainly not. Enough so? Probably.

From the (few) things I've read, that's exactly the problem with WADA: their definition of reasonable doubt is such that nobody can ever satisfy it. And in one case, they even acknowledged that the guy was getting screwed, and then kept on screwing him anyway. Add to that the lack of transparency in their lab work, and there seems to be plenty of reason to worry about them.
