Today’s Seattle Times says:

The Mariners’ plan is for Niehaus to begin each game in the TV booth for the first few innings with Blowers, and then move to the radio booth with Rizzs. For most games, Rizzs will work on the radio side only. Sims and Blowers will team up when Niehaus goes to the radio booth.

Rizzs working radio mostly? That’s a good reason not to tune into KOMO radio. They could go one step further and have him broadcast via the telegraph medium. Or maybe smoke signals.

#25– FWIW–

The right-hander has serious interest in signing with the Rockies. He will throw again for scouts Monday. The Mariners and Padres have made contract offers, said agent Page Odle, but Colorado has not. “But we have some good interaction going on with the Rockies,” Odle said. “(Colorado) does make a lot of sense for him.”

I’ve heard the guy call a couple games on ESPN. He’s not bad.

Erstad? How much grittier can the Mariners get without just tearing the grass out of Safeco and playing in the dirt?

It sounds like Brian Lawrence is generating enough interest from around the league to demand guaranteed money, somewhere between $2 and $3 million. The Rockies have room in their rotation and are rumored to be showing the most interest; plus Lawrence prefers the NL West and he grew up in Denver. Sorry Bavasi. Not gonna happen.

ok, so the LA Times has the M's interested in Erstad, the Denver Post thinks the M's have made an offer to Brian Lawrence, and RJ has agreed to an extension with Arizona, which means win no. 300 will come as a Snake, and pretty much should seal the whole HOF/D'back hat thing...

he was on the radio side — FWIW, he called a football game so that you could visualize what was happening (at least to someone with a limited grasp of football…)

I don’t think he was doing the Jints-Iggles game, though; at least, the broadcasters were addressing each other as Joe and Troy.

Wow that’s a departure from The Jesus Lizard. I guess guess you can only see David Yow’s naked arse so often before you want to get a real job.

Whoops, sorry about that DMZ. My brain saw Giants Eagles but with the tv tuned to Pats Jets and my half awake state I processed it completely wrong.
