Extra, Extra: John Rocker being John Rocker

October 22, 2014

Here’s my podcast listening schedule:

Wednesday and Thursday are used for whatever other programs are around that I pay attention to depending on the topi (Fresh Air, The Leonard Lopate Show, The Sporkful, The Gist, etc.)

One episode of the three “standards” will basically get me to or from work. And whenever they feature a baseball topic (much less likely on PCHH), I am especially tickled.

How how great is it that the past two episodes of EHG have featured baseball? In episode 46, Sarah Bunting and Joe Reid did a “fantasy draft” of FOX’s baseball announcers during the playoffs (Ron Darling was, indeed the darling of the group; Joe Buck, not so much). Bunting has major baseball chops.

On the current show, the led topic is the continuing downfall of The Survivor. Now I almost never watch reality TV, even when the “roster” includes a baseball personality, but I still take notice.In this case, it was John Rocker, who was recently voted off the island. Evidently he’s still a big a d**k as he was when he was playing. (Warning: If you’re going to listen to the shows, be aware that some of the language is NSFW.) I would respectfully disagree with the assessment of the EHG crew as to Rocker’s talents; Like him or not, for a while, he was a pretty solid reliever for the Braves.

Nice to know there are some things in this world you can still count on.
