Let's see....

Why didn't they pick someone that has an ERA under a dozen to interview? Anyways, he seems like an okay guy. A few comments:

• Vegas - that makes sense
  
• Surfing - that's cool I guess
  
• 40 Year Old Virgin SUCKS!
  
• He better like Detroit! If he thinks we have good fans based on what he's seen (he's been booed loudly after every exit) he must set his standards pretty low...(not saying Detroit fans are bad, I'm just saying he's been awful!)
  
• Math teacher? Match Sucks (unless it's statistics which rocks!)
  
• Going back for the Degree - good for him!
  
• ODU - Verlander went there! Maybe he'll pitch like Justin, too (or not!)
  
• DiCaprio -
  
• 311 - that's not an artist! Picasso is an artist!
  
• Arod -
  
• Matt Kemp - LOL! He sucks! I saw him plenty in LA this year!
  

For toughest hitter, he should have said...."All of 'em"!! LOL
