You definitely can get Rod and Mario play by play for the home games. Not sure about the befores and afters. OMG they are the best announcers in MLB!!! The nicest in person too!

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:28 pm

Yea they are good. I get some pregame on my XM radio but it will better this year with the cable package.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:45 pm

We stood right next to Rod before the August 9 Tampa Bay game. He was waiting to go on air right after Keats said his stuff. What a nice guy.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:48 pm

It makes even better when you know they are good guys. At least I think so.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:17 pm

remember that You Tube video on the other forum that had Rod chasing after that little Japanese pitcher who beaned him? omg that was so funny....

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:44 pm

Yea, that was hilarious. I had not thought of that in awhile Smile

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:37 pm

He's just the genteel sportscaster nowadays! full of facts and little side jokes...

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:39 pm

I like his delivery. I haven't heard all the announcers but of the ones I have heard he is my favorite.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:41 pm

Coupled with Mario's smooth delivery, they can't be beat! although if I have a beer sometimes I miss Rod's little quips..too fast for this ol' brain...

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:43 pm

LOL...I thought the beer made you smarter? I always get smarter when I drink Smile

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:50 pm

I'm always smart enought to take a nap after....

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:51 pm

Wether you want to or not right?

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:52 pm

[/i]exactly![i]

bow

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:54 pm

Been there done that...The last time I was really shattered was after the sweep of Oakland in 06. Damn was I drunk Smile

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:56 pm

and then you can't remember what happened....now that's freaky.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:00 pm

No I remember...there is a bush down by Cheli's (Spelling?) with some extra fertilizer...

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:17 pm

hopefully no one took a picture of you...or u didn't get in somebody's video!!! Wink

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:35 pm

Not that I have ever seen...lol. You never know. I was feeling no pain, I do know that !!!

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:36 pm

even if for a few moments, everyone should know of that state in life!

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:38 pm

It didn't last long but man it was fun. I do recall though the next morning was not quite as much fun Frown

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:38 pm

yeah, that part sucks. I only had one "lost weekend" to know I never want to be that blotto again...

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:43 pm

Yea, I decided I better grow up after that and have been much more subdued since then. Probably wise.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:45 pm

gads how stupid we were!

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:47 pm

lol..ain't that the truth. Man I look back and think about all the stupid shit I did and wonder how I ever got through it...

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:48 pm

And you can't tell your kids not to do it...they have to discover limits for themselves too. I've never been a parent but that's the way I would handle it.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:50 pm

Thankfully I am not there yet but that will be a tough call. Times are different now too. Use to be able to do things without as much worry I think.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:51 pm

I'm just good at being a cat/dog mom!

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:55 pm

Man I just lost my very first dog 6mos. ago. She was an awesome golden retriever. I decided not to get another one right away but we probably will someday. I love dogs.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:59 pm

Each loss is hard...but then you think what life would be like without them, and I find myself enjoying each day more fully.

Subject: Re: Countdown Until 2008 Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:06 pm

Such wisdom. I should probably learn from you but sometimes I am not the brightest bulb on the tree.
