Plesac and Williams are pretty good. I prefer them to anyone on Baseball Tonight. Ripken makes me uncomfortable for some reason but he's fine too.

i dont understand from a business perspective the point of solid 60 (only live look ins no desk)its basically the "see i knew i didn't need to buy extra innings" show

that might be true for East Coast fans but for me (here in Los Angeles) i could not live without MLB Extra Innings.

Gas face to Fuck Face for citing wins as the ultimate (only?) determining factor for his hypothetical CY vote.
Scoffing at Verducci's logical defense of Felix: also worthy of the gas face.

During MLB Network's playoff preview, Plesac goes off on the postseason brilliance of Mariano Rivera -- like we're all in for a real treat, and you can BET ON IT -- as a highlight reel of his regular-season blown saves is played. One of the superlatives is synced up perfectly with Rivera sulking off the mound.

Al Michaels and Bob Costas are doing the Mets vs. Giants game tonight at 7PM.
The first three innings will be fairly basic, with Costas calling the first inning and a half and Michaels the next inning and a half. They'll speak directly to fans of both teams by switching to SportsNet New York's booth for the fourth and fifth innings before taking over ComCast SportsNet Bay Area's broadcast for the sixth and seventh innings (Krukow and Kuiper will handle MLB Network duties during that span). Then it's back to the MLB Network telecast for both Michaels and Costas.

You hand-manage the game by managing who is on the on deck circle.
When he gets hot, you can literally jump on his back and he can carry you.
This is where Shelby Miller needs to do his best to make the pitch he needs to make.
