I was distracted while trying to listen. I did hear Dierk say he'd be playing Burke at second.

take that, Biggio. that will teach you for causing trouble in the dugout!

I have heard (On 610 for what that is worth) that Burke would/should be replacing Preston.

he's just licking the wounds to his gargantuan ego. Biggio was an indirect cause of his getting fired.

Was the Dierker/Biggio situation one where Dierker was questioning Biggio's on-field performance, or was it a "who's really running the team?" type of thing?

I'd like to respect Dierker and what he did as a manager of the Astros. However, in his book and in his work covering the Astros, he repeatedly makes pussified, back-biting, bitch-boy type comments. He's got to let got of whatever is crawling up his rectum because he's just making himself look bad.

I don't mean to exonerate or portray Biggio (or anyone involved in pro sports) as a saint. But for fuck's sake, get over it...

Sadly, from everything that's been communicated about Dierker (edited to clarify) on this site, that seems unlikely to happen.

But isn't talk radio where Purp gets his ideas from? I have to admit, I often find myself yelling at the idiots that call in, but I keep listening.

Hardly get any Astros, it is 99% Reggie/Vince/?. It has been that way for 3 months and will continue even after next Saturdays draft. The only time we get decent baseball talk is during the Kevin Bass hour.

BTW, here is a story that Kevin had about Niekro that I found humorous. They (Bass and the radio jocks) were talking about guys that smoked heaters (cigs) during innings. He said the Niekro would smoke a sig and drink a coke on the steps that lead from the dugout to the club house during each inning. When it was time to return to the field, Joe would dash the smoke and pour a circle around it using the coke. He would do this on a different step each inning. Bass said it was pretty funny after the game to come down the steps and see seven/eight dashed cigs with a coke ring around them.

A regular guest appearance. If you have not heard it, it is very entertaining. I am sure you can listen over the net, though I have not done so.

On a related note... Bochy has gone goatee, which disqualifies him as the title-holder for "best 'stache in MLB." As the perennial runner-up, Scrap Iron now assumes the crown.

Another comment a few weeks ago that was funny. They were talking about pitchers that cheat. Radio J. asked about Maddox, and Bass said he thought that he was cheating as much as he touched himself. Then RJ asked about Scott cheating, and all Kevin said is that they use to laugh their asses off in the dugout.
