Has anyone else been listening to the entire show today? I missed the beginning of the show...did they say anything about where Bob is?

I'm getting a little worried. At one point they were coming back from break and Dan said "Bob" and then stopped himself and said "Oh wait, get that, dump that" and Grubes was like "I got it" (even though they didn't actually dump it 'cause you heard Dan say Bob's name. Then, just now Dan was about to say "With Bob not here anymore...." and stopped himself and said something like 'with the other guy not here today..blah blah blah"

Anyway, I could just be being paranoid, and this may be no big deal, but I might jump off the High 5 if Bob were to ever leave the Ticket and/or BaD Radio.

Did anyone else notice this? Does anyone have any input?  

I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but M.B.'s bat throwing is getting ridiculous. It seems like a bat goes flying out of his hands nearly once a game, and  it finally did some damage-after a rip and a miss last night the bat went twirling into the 4th row and some fan wore it in the face bad enough that an Angels player had to throw a towel into the stands to help get the bleeding stopped. (I was at the game so I don't know how much Josh and Tom talked about it.) I obviously haven't watched the other teams as much as I've watched the Rangers, but I'd be willing to bet no one else in baseball comes anywhere close to throwing the bat as much as he does. What happens when he kills somebody? What would happen if baseball instituted a rule where so many bat flings led to a penalty of some sort--a fine or a 1 game suspension or something? (not really sure how I feel about that, just a thought)

Last year was my first year to do it, and I had a good time. I did a little research last year--yahoo, espn, sports illustrated, but that was about it. Anyone have recommendations of other credible, knowledgable people/sites offering (free) advice on match-ups to help me create my bracket?

In order to make the 300 character limit...ok you gurus...anyone willing to reveal their good early upsets?

What's more impressive...jumping out to a 23 point lead, or the Heat only scoring 6 points with now 2:42 left in the first?

Hello there how are you today the Mavericks are going to win it all I don't really believe that this is just to meet the minimum

One of my buddies got laid off, another one wanted to do something cool for his 30th birthday, and I was so tired of my dissertation I was about to explode--so I threw the idea out there, and all of a sudden our tickets are booked to Phoenix. Leaving next Thursdy returning Monday. I've never been, and really have no idea what to expect.

Any advice or recommendations--things to be sure see/do (especially cool on the field stuff I need to be sure and catch), in addition to anything non-baseball related (stuff to do in Phoenix) is greatly appreciated...

Additional relevant info--we're all single, right at 30, don't have a ton of money, going to want to do our fair share of drinking, and would prefer to do it where members of the opposite sex are likely to congregate. To that end, we're staying at the Embassy Suites right next to the ASU campus in Tempe. I know, it's on the other side of the city from Surprise, but we weighed the options, we're right where we need to be.

Here are a few of my specific questions...
*Is there some type of practice activity going on basically all day/every day?
*What are the best times to be there? Worst?
*Do I have to pay to get in?
*Is it basically just practice that's open to the public?
*Do they sell beer?
*How much time will I be able to spend watching the big boys as opposed to ScrubA, ScrubB, and ScrubC?
*Are the players more accessible (for pictures, etc?)

Whoever is doing afternoon drive this week said that it's going to be about the HL and what will become of them.

While Greggo is/was one of the biggest idiots on the planet, it is kind of sad to see the end of an era--the Hardline had pretty damn good run.

Thoughts as to what afternoon drive is going to look like going forward? I actually hope they bring someone completely new in who's really got something, and we just have to get used to them. All the other 2nd rate personalities (Rich Phillips, Ben & Skin, etc.) on The Ticket have already been labeled in our minds as spares.

BGL BGL!!!!

What does it take to get past the 300 character limit?

Not to say I told you so badradiorules....

Some may say it might not do much good, but it's certainly not going to do any harm

a.) jet skis are death machines.
b.) how big of an idiot is the dude piloting this thing?
c.) all that being said, it does look like a blast.

Am I close to 300 characters? Apparently not, hopefully by adding this sentence I will get over the 30-0 character minimum.
