		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why do you torture yourself by listening to KJR, aside from catching Daveâ€™s appearances?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

as with last night, it is usually inadvertent-- I tunr on the radio, and there is Moore, blathering, and I am stunned into inaction.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I listen to a bit of him every day and I can tell you he just isnâ€™t a baseball guy at all.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Believe it or not, Cowturd actually used to do play-by-play years ago for the Las Vegas Stars (now the 51&#039;s) of the PCL.  Though I was fortunate enough to miss that carnage while living down there (which was from 92-94), I remember him doing sports for one of the local TV stations.  Then as now, he was a HUGE windbag.</description>

		<description>I like how over half of Moore&#039;s supporting argument is based on the &lt;em&gt;expert&lt;/em&gt; analysis of Colon Cow Herd.  If you want college and pro football and hoops, he often has some good takes.  He really knows college football.

I listen to a bit of him every day and I can tell you he just isn&#039;t a baseball guy at all.  No real understanding of the game. Not a real fan of the game. He just talks about it because he has to.  His opinions are just drivel that sounds intelligent, actual analysis usually shows them to be pure crap.

I remember in April when the Tigers were really struggling and were linked to Bonds rumors, he repeated the following nonsense nearly verbatim at least a dozen times:
&quot;The Tigers are a team of &lt;em&gt;free swinging&lt;/em&gt; power hitters, the last thing they need is to add &lt;strong&gt;Barry Bonds&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;another free swinging &lt;strong&gt;high strike out&lt;/strong&gt; power hitter&quot;.&lt;/em&gt; He kept saying it with knowing conviction over and over and over..........He always has strong opinions on baseball, but.....???

He was right on 1/3 of those assertions: Bonds is a power hitter.
I will elaborate no further on the baseball acumen of one Colon Cow Herd.</description>

		<description>now a caller says he was calling years ago for a trade of Ichiro, c&#039;mon he&#039;s on a team that is finishing in the cellah, shoulda been traded two years ago for a front-line startah, maybe an outfieldah, when they were coming good and gone some where. 

man, I have to turn this off.</description>

		<description>ok, Puck has moved on to who is untradable --Felix, Clement (at least, not this GM being the trader), not sure that he wants to see Betancourt go anywhere ... 

ooh, a caller wants to know why wouldn&#039;t the Mariners do what it takes to go get Matt Holiday? he&#039;s young, he&#039;s productive and would be for years? or say guys like Duncan &amp; Ludwig from the Cardinals? Seems like it would be in their best interests to go that route...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As a â€œdefensive replacementâ€ and half a platoon against lefties, he may not see four ABs in another game this year, let alone two back-to-back.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

True -- again with another dishonorable mention to that great former Yankee Right-Handed Backup DH Jose Canseco (i.e. Master of the Warmed Bench, 2000).</description>
