Until he comes in at the bottom of the ninth, 2 outs, bases loaded, down 3, and Jack's one out in right center.

I don't know how you can stand it. Tried again to listen to some sports talk radio yesterday while waiting for Princess to finish field hockey practice. It's just terrible. Felger and Mazz? Ugh the most annoying two men on the planet. I would rather listen to Joe Buck. And when/why did they start televising the radio shows? Did you know about this? Whyyyyyyyyyy? Did we really need to see these guys? Made it worse instead of better.

5 minute increments! It’s truly the key, haha. And if I turn it on and they aren’t talking about sports (because no one needs to hear Gerry Callahan’s political theory), I just turn it off.

Callahan? That old geezer is still spouting off? Racist pos.

I'm thinking of getting Sirius radio in my car because it's old and doesn't even have the AUX option to connect tunes from the phone. Maybe I'll surprise Princess for Christmas as she'll be getting her license in January.

I can't even listen to other radio. Even when I rent a car, I get it.

You can negotiate too, I guess. I get offers all the time for $30 for 6 months. One of my friends said that he has never paid more than $100 a year for it. He lets his subscription lapse, and then he calls and haggles until he gets a good price.

If I had a longer commute, I’d definitely have it. Fortunately for us, my trial membership in our minivan was extended through the summer, so we had it when we were driving a lot. (We put 5k miles on the van in June/July/August. We’ll be lucky to do that many from September to May.)

I can understand that. I put 5k on every two weeks. So yes, good radio is paramount with road huggers.

Wow that is a ton of miles! I went from taking the train to working in an office 2 miles away to working from home every day. In the 7+ years that I have had my Pilot, I've put on just under 60K miles. Most of that is running back and forth to Maine and New Hampshire on the weekends.

This article was in the ‘Calendar’ section of the Times, which is the entertain news. It’s pretty bad when the entertainment section writes a story on Joe Buck.

Gary uses the AUX all the time as he doesn't believe in Satellite Radio ... or even Hot Wax for that matter. He has a number of radio apps on the phone which allows him is get most everything he desires. There was a time when Gary was commuting two hours, one way and everyday to work. Gary would commute to Ft. Irwin managing construction three to four days a week and the other days he would be at the main office in San Diego. At the time he had a Crown Victoria ... what a great car for commuting long distances. It was like driving from your living room ... comfy, overstuffed couch, a fireplace and all. V8, 26 mpg, so much room I thought about getting a renter and it never broke. Possibly the least sexy car on the road ... but at Gary's age he didn't care about that, especially when his espresso machine alerted him that the coffee was ready.

PS- Ft. Irwin is 30 miles outside of Barstow, in the middle of the Mojave Desert. It butts up to Death Valley.

I hope Fox listens but it probably won't. I don't get the appeal for him from a network stand point. I like Smoltz and can tolerate Davis. He says the dumbest and most obvious things. Maybe it irritates the more seasoned baseball fans. I like the view from ex players as their insight inside the game brings additional value, for me anyway. I think Smoltz would have a lot more insight to offer but could be getting stifled a little by the program manager. Love to see Jim Leyland, Tommy Lasorda, Al Kaline, or Big Papi in the booth. Leyland and Lasorda for their unique insight on manager strategy, Kaline on players and historical commentary, and Big Papi for a modern take from a positional player to compliment Smoltz. Play by play, have no idea who would fit better. The guys in Detroit just got fired for duking it out on and off the set. Skully is older than dirt. Buck Martinez? I like listening to him, he's pretty awesome.
