*Unlike the St. Paul radio … whatever … the El Paso radio guy has earned the title of “guy.” So good for him.
I got a few comments (which were deleted by me — is that mean?) Asking what the relevance was of my post about my sort-of confrontation with the St. Paul radio guy. Well, the answer to that is it’s my blog and I’ll write about whatever I feel to be relevant.
I’m not going to tell you “you don’t have to read it,” because you DO have to read it. This blog is awesome and the last thing I want to do is drive people away. But just know that if something interesting happens to me at a Wingnuts game that doesn’t necessarily involve baseball, I’m going to write about it. You would too if you had a blog.
Anyway, let’s now talk about the El Paso radio guy, John something. As much of a fan as I am, you’d think I’d remember his last name, right? But no. I like him because he had me on the air with him during the third inning of each of the series’ three games. I’ve covered professional baseball for four years, and he’s the first guy to ever ask me to be on the air with him. First of all, what’s up with that? Second of all, good for him. He clearly has an eye for talent.
The only thing I didn’t like was that he kept trying to steer the conversation away from baseball. That’s not a criticism of him, but I’m just not well-versed in anything other than baseball. It’s my sole area of expertise. Well, I can’t say that. But Jim Ross has yet to ask me to go on the air with him and The Eagle, despite my persistence, has denied me of a WWE blog. So baseball it is for now.

I think the blog is awesome, too (unbiased “distant relative” that I am – full disclosure)! And I find the bits you write that aren’t “pure” baseball coverage help to enrich the total experience. So I hope you’ll keep telling us about that other stuff. Baseball’s great, but giving us a view from your side of the press box is interesting as well.
It’s a wonder that this is still bothering you two weeks after the fact. For a saucy veteran who has been in the business all of four years, you certainly have let the St. Paul Radio Guy into your head. Hopefully this does not continue to trouble you for the rest of your blogging career–you just may start to sound redundant. Let it go, man…let it go.
