    I'd be surprised if his show stays on KXNO. Iheart can say they are done with local programing altogether. Sean was the program director and without a local person in that position now they may not care for keeping that show in the lineup Definitely going to tune in to hear what Ken has to...

    Jed Hoyer Says it is "Unrealistic" to Expect Big League Starts from Justin Steele This Year - Bleacher Nation This makes me think that making a big splash at the deadline on a top end of the rotation arm is less likely. Just too many holes in the pitching staff to plug at this point with all...

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    Team 1 OC has to be Steve Loney and DC John Skadany IMO. Wally probably my 2nd choice at OC. Rhoads was a DB coach under Mac so if you wanted to get really creative and micro he would qualify for a position coach

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    Team 1 would have John Skladany as DC who was a pretty good DC for Mac. Would be a heck of a fun time watching Skladany and Heacock game plan against each other's rosters.

    CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best

    I was going to say James Reed is probably the best DT of that era IMO. Jordan Carstens eventually replaced Harklau after he graduated and was already taking some of his snaps his freshman year too so I would even put Carstens ahead of Harklau. Rubin definately another one that was missed, I...

    I don't know if the audio is still out there on the web somwhere but here was the thread on the incident at the time. If I remember Marty stormed into the studio right as they were signing off and Conn left the mic on while the commercial break started and you could hear Marty dropping F bombs...

    There were folks here that had their criticism/dislikes for Cotlar when he was on the air, but I bet looking back now and compare his show then to what we have for shows now a lot more people probably would prefer Cotlar. Like Ken he had a lot of friends in the sports industry and had a lot of...

    I think he did play by play for the Barnstormers for at least 1 or more seasons too when he was in Des Moines. I know some here didn't like him but I found him pretty entertaining and he sure could yank Ken's chains at times too. He did some NBA play by play a long time ago too and had some...

    They announced he and Heather were going to be co-hosts for a show then Ken left right before it was supposed to start. Pretty sure Heather "called in sick" the day that show was supposed to start too.

    Jim Brinson was a hoot. He may have had some crazy takes and stories to share but he was a fun personality and made things interesting to listen to. He probably was one of the best co-hosts Ken had IMO. Matt Perrault is similarly annoying as Trent is and I know some here thought Marty Tirrell...

    While Bregman hasn't hit as well as we hoped for he's still a 2.0 WAR player so far. Tucker is a 0.8 WAR at the moment. That's a pretty sad number for as much as he got paid.

    He has plenty of protection in that lineup too that he should be hitting a lot better than he is. I see they have moved him down to 6th in the lineup now but the bulk of his AB this season have come batting 2 4 or 5 in the lineup. Will be interesting to see how long Dodgers fans and media will...

    Problem is they may hang around for a wild card spot. I think they do like they have lately with mediocre teams and add some cheap pieces and kind of stand pat and see what happens. If the pitching staff was healthy they may have been aggressive buyers but just too many holes right now to use...
