It's kind of funny to listen to Bill on XM Radio. He loves to go on and on about his days in the "bigs," but my god that was one pathetic career.

Martinez and DiMaggio don't really belong on this list. They had careers better than 90% of major leaguers.

 

[Amnesiback Leroy Shurbanbrong]

Favorite: Pete Rose sprinting to first on a walk.

Most hilarious: 250 lb. Todd Coffey sprinting to the mound from the bullpen then sucking wind for 5 minutes.

 

[Oh Yes!]

the whole Designated hitter thing is funny

 

[Oh Yes!]

I couldn't agree more.I will say this, you'd expect the production level of an XM Radio baseball network to be pretty crappy but all the shows are pretty good. Billy Ripken is tough to listen to talking like he was a world beater in his days in the bigs.Rob Dibble is the man though - I really enjoy him. Been on air a few times talking with him.Buck Martinez argued with me once about Manny - literally hung up on me and chewed out my opinion for a good 5 minutes. That f'r

Speaking of this- what's the deal with Sirius and the MLB? Are they ever going to get XM's baseball stuff?

Another one that bugs me is Kevin Kennedy. Won't shut the hell up about his days as manager of the Rangers. Oddly enough, his time with Boston was much more productive, but you almost never hear about it.

My favorite. Started a thread about this a while back and it went nowhere.

 

[Tom Servo]

Nomar's ridiculous routine in-between every single ####### pitch.

That's annoyed me for years. Does he really need to reset the batting gloves after every pitch? Thanks for helping to ruin the game, Roman.

Dear Nomar, You stole my shtick.Sincerely, Mike Hargrove

 

[Daywalker]

Dusty Bakers' wristbands.

 

[Finless]

Devils Rays going to the world series

Titanic Shtick

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

I'll probably get labeled a Commie ******* for this, but the "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch at Yankee stadium...gets me every time.

Totally agree, it's ridiculous.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Lack of a recent Yankees title as proof of competitive balance.

Me and Dr. Detroit hope to ride down to Houston for a game later this season. Fly down and meet us.

That would be a blast, but just too far...More good schtick ---> Umpires having to be big and/or fat.

 

[regularguy]

A ranting manager covering up home plate with dirt

 

[comfortably numb]

The, you don't "really" need to touch 2nd base while turning a double play........UNTIL YOU GET CAUGHT NOT TOUCHING 2nd BASE WHILE TURNING A DOUBLE PLAY!

 

[Mr. Pickles]

The, you don't "really" need to touch 2nd base while turning a double play........UNTIL YOU GET CAUGHT NOT TOUCHING 2nd BASE WHILE TURNING A DOUBLE PLAY!

Never understood this. There's been times where guys are nowhere near the bag yet get credit for the force.Also amusing: being able to blatantly crash into someone preventing a double play, or to dislodge the ball at home. Related to the latter, I don't think a catcher should be able to block the plate. It's ridiculous.

 

[Annyong]

The White Sox TV crew. I find them amusing, but then again I don't watch too many White Sox games.

 

[cosjobs]

The guy who can throw bags of peanuts from 20 rows over and hit you in the chest.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

THis reminded me. Nothing worse than "STAY FAIR, STAY FARI".

 

[Broncoholic]

I like the wackiness of the minor's.

Our team has take your dog to the ball park night and you can watch the game from a hot tub.

I also love the WOOOOP.....WOOOOOO's during the warm up pitches
