Anyone else hear Grobber's rant against Bernstein's stance on Lou Brock? Grobber is not buying any of that "Sabermetrics crap."

I don't always agree with Les, but I'm glad there's someone on the Score that isn't afraid to stand up to all of the "intellectuals" that now run the station.

Although Grobber did just yell at a caller for saying Ryan instead of Ryne Sandberg.

Bernstein wins again!

I don't listen to Les as often as I used to. But when I did, I heard him contradict Bernstein quite a bit & lots of his callers made it clear they hated B & B as well. I kind of enjoy the zaniness & encyclopedia aspect of his show. Unfortunately with the route the station has gone from 9am-midnight, he won't get a prime time slot.

After you poop in the studio and it's covered by Deadspin, that ship has probably already sailed.

I catch Les every weekday between 4 and 5. Fuck the haters. This dude is phenomenal.

Les had no call around 4am, so he was literally reading ever text. I asked him for the number for Sportsphone and he went on a 2 minute dialogue after saying sportsphone no longer exists.

Les is great. He's been the same guy ever since he was on Steve and Garry. No "I've evolved" bullshit from him.

:lol:

I was listening when you texted that in. Have to love that he will turn a text on anything into a short segment.

He is perfect for the time slot.

Les definitely deserves more love from the Score but overnights do not have ratings so they really have no incentive to give him any pub. It is sad because I think Les is the best thing on the station. If you want to hear some old school overnight Score radio check out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2GtBXmnNFqZdLQi-PkdgXQ

He is a unique listen. The few times a year I find myself around a radio when he is on I enjoy it for 30-45 minutes or so. He fills the time.

Big Guy must be listening...I just heard a new spot listing the lineup and at the end, "Score overnights with Les Grobstein!"

well Les is the reigning anti-intellectual now that North is gone.

My pleasure Kenny. I'm glad you enjoyed listening. Now if you people want to petition for me to come back as Grobber's producer I guarantee you it would be the most entertaining show on the station. Here's the link again for anyone who wants to listen to the most unprofessional scoreboard update guy/producer in Score history!!!!
