MEAT, MEAT, MEAT, MEAT! After an exciting day of "Radio With Rozner" Meat tries to make it 2 in row concerning actually showing up for work and doing good radio. Things will be discussed, Meat will mention the marsh peg, Barry will fill me with hope and longing for him to be a full time host before doing his annoying shtick. Oh well, Danny is gone (I THINK) so Meat will play or whatever her does.

-Camp
-Football
-Baseball
-HUB?
-Funions?
-Short sleeve shirt pocket talk?

Harrrumph, maybe now the Meat has his cash and his years he will chill out and settle down. Maybe the waiting on the new paper was driving him mad, maybe the marsh peg was his meal ticket if he got the boot? Either way he can relax, stop being a pissy pants and make a solid return to good radio that I know he is capable of because he has done it in the past.

Listen or Don't, do or die.

SomeGuy, you are kicking ass and taking names. No prisoners are being taken in this thread. You have the eye of a tiger and the heart of a lion. I'm sorry I ever questioned your commitment to this endeavor.

Meat is large and has poorly manicured facial hair so he must eat plenty of Funions.

I don't think you're racist. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Excellent thread. Your way with words is Bernstein -esque.

Do you think he makes the interns feed them to him one at a time? I'll bet he does.

Barry with the straw man steroids article yesterday in the DH. He acts like he was all over the story and exposed folks while it was going on, while everyone else was covering it up. He trotted out tired Andre Dawson quotes to back up his assertions. I can't stand the self-righteousness of his thoughts.

"MLB drug shame remains a stain
By Barry Rozner

For the players who didn’t cheat, it’s pretty simple.

Those baseball players who sought a competitive and financial advantage by taking drugs both illegal in baseball and the real world, stole dollars and pennants from those who remained clean.

“I saw a guy recently who was named in one of those reports,” said Rick Sutcliffe. “He was walking across a field and I thought, ‘That son of a (bleep) cost me a World Series.’ He cheated and we lost.”

Not too complicated — unless you have some sort of agenda.

There are those — both civilians and media — who defend the steroid era still because they promoted it and are embarrassed for having done so.

There are those who have defended the steroid freaks and are simply too ashamed today to consider that they may have been wrong.

And there are those who have deluded themselves into thinking cheating before drug testing is somehow different from cheating after drug testing, even though the sole reason for cheating at all was, well, to cheat.

They are only fooling themselves — and probably not even themselves.

Congress passed the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990 to amend the Controlled Substances Act and provide criminal penalties for illicit use of anabolic steroids.

Yeah, um, they made it a felony to use steroids illegally. So it was what you’d call in legal terms, um, illegal.

Doesn’t sound too complicated.

Most Hall of Fame voters have grasped the concept and made their voices heard, and those who stole from the history of the game will not be included in the most historic of halls in Cooperstown.

Even Bud Selig — who profited more from steroids than just about any other person in the game — has arisen from a slumber and is finally punishing the offenders, desperate near the end of his career to alter his legacy.

So angry was he that Ryan Braun disappointed him — and used a technicality to beat suspension — that Selig has gone after Braun with more zeal than anyone.

Selig will tell you baseball is cleaner than ever, but it wasn’t even a positive test that led to the latest scandal. It was an angry investor/client who exposed the Biogenesis story to the Miami New Times, and the result has brought down Braun and will soon yield more suspensions.

“I’m waiting to see when the hammer comes down what comes out,” Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson told reporters over the weekend in Cooperstown. “I get disappointed when I hear guys say they only did it one time. That upsets me, too. Yeah, one time. What’s the difference? I only robbed a bank once.

“Guys cheated, created an uneven playing field. I don’t have any sympathy for them.”

Seems pretty simple.

“PEDs make bad players good, good players great and great players Hall of Famers,” Curt Schilling said on ESPN this week. “It’s just unfair to the guys who played it straight.”

Guys like Andre Dawson, who waited nine elections to reach the Hall of Fame after his career was swallowed whole by the steroid era.

“The consequences of that era of PEDs were big for me, and a lot of guys were forgotten,” Dawson said earlier this year. “Now, the guys who did the drugs have to face the consequences.”

And he doesn’t buy the notion that writers can hold their noses and vote for the cheaters, or find excuses to look past steroids.

“That’s a cop-out. It’s the writers’ job to decide who belongs in the Hall of Fame, but they don’t want to punish guys who cheated?” Dawson said. “The all-time hits leader (Pete Rose) isn’t in the Hall, and I know it’s not the writers’ call on that, but Pete has been punished.

“You telling me you don’t have the heart to punish those guys?”

Players cheated, and they are still cheating. The incentive to make money far outweighs the risk, and it will until players fear the loss of contract and career, something that appears impossible now and unlikely in the near future.

Nevertheless, it would be effective.

In the meantime, spin it any way you want to make yourself feel better about the steroid era. Say it was fine. Say it was good. Say it was fun. Say it just doesn’t matter.

Say baseball looked the other way, so you might as well, too.

Go ahead.

But to the players who lost games and money because of it, including Hall of Famers, they think you’re delusional or perhaps motivated by ego or something inexplicable.

Spin that, too, if it makes you feel better."

It is my favorite show when Mac is on the air. He has been catching some pretty impressive fish from what I
have seen on Facebook. Looking forward to him coming back recharged and ready for NFL football.

Great way to start the show. I don't follow Sox baseball a bit but very interesting conversation with the GM
and he has been very open with his answers. Speaks very well. Hopefully they can get him from time to time.

Hahn is a good listen and a solid interview, always good to hear him through my speakers.

Good show so far. Meat sounds relaxed an mentally even, Finfer sounding smooth....a good pairing. Funny how coming out of the Sports Wilderness and into NFL Civilization can change how a show runs. Let us hope that this level of play extends all season.

I was wondering about that. Post-Super Bowl February is often mentioned as a rather boring period for sports in general, but after the Hawks' win, I don't think I've ever been as sports-bored as I am right now. Perhaps that's the fair-weather baseball fan bias inside me, but I assume the hosts will get a livelier the closer we get to football season. Obviously things would be different if one or both of the baseball teams were competitive, but I guess it really sucks to be a fan in the summer when both teams are not contending. ``

I agree. When baseball is all we have the teams are brutal....that usually leads to bad and uneven radio. Hell, even when the Hawks were on the way to another Cup the radio was pretty brutal. Although that could partly be blamed on certain shows hating hockey and not wanting to talk about it, but I digress.

Also, that ZZ interview was brutal, just brutal. I know they have to do it....but it was bad.

I was wondering where KS was, but if Finfer is doing the show I am sure he is close by his radio.

No. I look like Luke Skywalker. An older Luke Skywalker. But not an older Mark Hamill.

Yeah, I forgot...you did say that once.

Weird show today. I'm not complaining, but strange to be done at 10:30. Rick Hahn is such a solid guest. Whether you agree with his moves or not he is still a good spokesman for that organization.

Yeah, I was disappointed it was a short one. Was a pretty enjoyable listen up until the Sox.
