I think it’ll take more than a catcher and movable mound to get Al Leiter to throw a full-strength fastball. It was painful to watch him pitch at the end.

I think John Kruk is uncomfortable all the time without his shoulder-legnth mullet.

So what you’re saying is that the MLB Network will broadcast from a padded room. That figures.

More importantly, who will get the naming rights?  OK, I’ll stop now.

Come on, Harold Reynolds and Rob Dibble in suits re-enacting plays at the ESPN plate were hysterical. Great comedy. I think ex big leaguers should have to wear tuxedos on the air. It would be even funnier.

Generally speaking, pro athletes look pretty bad in street clothes. They are so overdeveloped somewhere that regular clothes hightlight the disproportion rather than disguise lt, like they do for you and me.

I’m with APBA Guy—ludicrously overdressed, for six straight months.  Tuxedos for everyone, except Vasgersian, who’s wearing white slacks and the Hugh Hefner red velvet smoking jacket, and is, for that matter, smoking.  Constantly.  Like it’s 1955.  Pipes.  Cigars.  Cigarettes.  And there’s a glass of brandy on the newsdesk, but he never touches it on the air, no sir.  Though sometimes, you can hear Uncle Matt screaming profanities just at the end of the show, when he thinks we’re at commercial break.  Good times.
