I found out today that I won Chuy's Broadcaster for a Night contest for the Round Rock Express, and will be in the booth with Mike Capps for a game sometime this summer.

I think it's only for an inning, but I am approximately scared to death.

congrats! You better start practicing with a tape player right now, so you can listen to yourself, wait, maybe you shouldn't do that!!! also, you were mentioned in an article on astros.com.

Where's Waldo?

Lately, there has been much talk about whether Clemens will return to baseball or retire. Why do people keep asking the same questions about him every day when nothing has changed in over a month? Please, no more Clemens questions until there is definite news whether it is good or bad. Thank you.

I hear ya, Justin. I think I've set a record in rolling my eyes ever since the Astros didn't offer Clemens arbitration last December. Most of the news regarding Roger so far hasn't revealed a whole lot. We're trying to determine if he has any desire to pitch this year, and if he does, whether he wants to pitch for the Astros or not. So far, he's not tipping his hand. It's sort of like a combination of playing "Where's Waldo ?" and watching a soap opera.

Good luck. See if you can work the phrase "slop jar full of nuts" in somehow. That would be awesome.

Demand Yvette Caceras, at the least.

Congrats, sounds like it'll be a fun gig for an inning!

5th inning on June 17th against the Zephyrs. I have a month to prepare to sound like an idiot.

Be sure to use "we" a lot, and see if you can work in an angle about trusting one's stuff.

So are you expected to do color or play-by-play (as an out-of-towner, I don't know which one Mike Capps does)?

Well, you could hear Milo's fucking cell phone ringing for about 45 seconds during the top of the 8th tonight... so as long as you don't do anything worse than that, I guess you're as good as a HOFer.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Oh, and give the score a lot.

Orangewhoopass. The FCC can deal with that. Especially considering current polls.

That's your 15 minutes, do the hell you'd like to.

And if you need to, take one of those public-speaking pills.

Or, if you can't get one of those, get you hands on a fifth of whisky. At worst, you'll sound like Milo.

Does this board really need to be flooded by new clarks?

I tuned in Milo last night and was flabergasted that he gave the score (6-2) about 3 times in the space of a couple of minutes, of course at the end of the inning he mentioned the score for the 4th time but never did I hear what inning it was...
