Steve Stone is the best baseball color commentator on TV.  I thought he was on ESPN but I haven't heard him yet this year.  Does anyone know where he is?

In Feb. 2005, he was hired by a Chicago radio station (WSCR) to host a weekly talk show. ESPN hired him at about the same time to work on some of the network's baseball telecasts.

From a report I just heard on ESPN. someone with the last name of Brown (don't remember the first name) was mentioned. He was an assistant that has been with the team for a long time.

Stoneman is stoned.\n\nSeriously, THAT is their answer?  Man Ram better be coming, because they're giving that chump $50 million?!\n\nHe's been on WAIVERS half a dozen times.  \n\nAt least the Dodgers got a guy who is 29 and hits .300 for that kind of money.  Hell, Matthews is a decent fielder, but hitting .247, how does that help?\n\nI love the Halos, but what the hell is that?  I'd rather they bring up a rookie than some washed up reject from Texas.\n\nI'm with you.  I don't get it.

Sky Sports don't seem to be showing the World Cup games, unless they are purely on Sky Sports HD (which I don't have).  By preference I would watch the games on Sky if Andy Gray and Martin Tyler were commentating as they are the best commentary team in my opinion.  But as I can only choose between BBC and ITV then I would definitely choose BBC every time!  BBC has the best pre and post match commentary from Gary Lineker and co.

Bad for The Tigers. I dont know what Dombrowski was thinking.\n\nThat sanchez dude was big prospect in our system, and he'll come back to haunt The Tigers in the future.\n\nI'm just hoping that Sheffield can keep his head in the game.\nHis bat might us help us.

He's still there but, given ESPN's terrible decision to drop the NHL contract, he has precious little to do. He does check in once a week or so to give his two cents on the hockey world but that's about it. If you're a hockey fan, OLN is where it's at in the States and I'm enjoying their Stanley Cup playoff coverage. ESPN can keep their godawful NBA contract and continue to lose viewers like myself. Hockey rules!

I live just outside Boston and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. Ever since Pedro left Boston, I have been "secretly" routing for him. I hoped for a Boston win, but with Pedro pitching well. And yes, he is a grade-A pitcher. As Peter Gammons has said many times before, "if he (Pedro) retired tommorow, he would be in the hall of fame with no doubt"

Mark McGwire is not getting in, at least not right now.\n\nPete Rose is banned from baseball for life. That includes the HOF. Rose should never be allowed in the HOF, not even as a paying customer.

Pitching is the only thing we really need,I hope they made a really good bid on this Matsuzaka!! I heard Andy Pettite Had dinner with Joe Torre Last night,And i read in todays paper,he said if he pitches next yr he wants to come back to the yankees,Roger Clemens if he plays next yr,WILL FINISH HIS CAREER IN BOSTON!! From what i read in todays paper If we don't get Matsuzaka,We'll go after Zito,And i belive Pettite is going to come back.Don't forget we have this Kid Phil Huges,Whos also going to be a GREAT PITCHER! And We'll get something for Sheffield\n4 clubs called about him,But Cashman wants to trade him to an NL Team,,Because he's pissed,and he can hurt us in the long run if we trade him to an AL Team,

Isn't he fighting this month or next?  I think he's fighting that little dude, Matt Something.  The guy that was one of the team leaders on the TV show.  WHAT THE HELL IS HIS NAME???\n\nTHAT'S IT, HUGHES! I'm glad someone wrote that, it would have bugged me all night.

The guy can't even speak proper English.  DW and Larry drive me nuts!  At least take some speech lessons if your going into broadcasting.  Look at Ned Jarrett, he won a championship and took some public speaking courses so he could represent the sport without looking like a tool box.  Oh well, won't be long and my man BP will be in the booth and I won't have to mute the TV and listen to MRN.

I have to go with STEPHEN A. SMITH ....I am using all caps because much like Mr. Smith, I have to yell about everything. \n\nOh, and as an aside if you host your own radio show and TV show on ESPN, I believe that you need to have at least a minimal knowldege about all of the major sports and not just Basketball...\n\nBut thats just me, I like sports talk that is informed not just yelling....

Coco's catch was unbelievable....all I can say after that catch is.....Johnny who????  Definitely the best of 2006 thus far!!!  A Web Gem for sure. \n\nGo BoSox!!!!!

I'm going to go against that grain here and say that unless you need steals - don't do it. Let’s start off with Beckett- he is now 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP after the Tribe kicked the snot out of him the other night. Everybody knows that Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, has talent. The question, as always, is his durability. He'll be just 26 in May and already has 100 starts in the bigs. BUT he's never thrown more than 200 innings or made 30 starts in a season. What happens when his first blister pops up -- on the front pages -- in Boston? How will he handle the heat? How will he get his road ERA (4.25 since 2004) down? How will he handle a full season with the DH? Not this well, that's for sure.\n\nSo...now you're talking Jones for Damon. Andruw is the back bone of the Braves lineup and he has had an awesome April (.284 8HR 23RBI's 17 runs). Project that out and he's looking at a 45+HR and a 100+RBI season. Damon on the other had has a slower start (.275 1HR 10RBI 16 runs). He's gonna have to find a way to settle down in NYC (which he may do just fine) but how far back in the standings will you be when he does?\n\nStick with Jones, go out and look at Ryan Freel (Cincinnati) for steals and grab whatever pitcher is hot on your waiver wire.

I remember him. He used to play on the same team with Dale Murphy. He was a very good power hitter and a decent 3rd baseman.

Yes yes yes,\n\nfinally someone else who understands the realness of ozzie guillen.\n\nhe doesn't hold his tongue to look good for the rich bigot media jerks. he tells it like it is. If he says Jay mariotte is a f-a-g, then he IS.  \n\nand If he says we will repeat as champs this year, Then we ARE.\npolitical correctness is for cowards!!\n\nGO OZZIE!!\nGO White SOX!\n\nCubs suck,\n(sorry, i had to add that... it also needed to be known)
