While Graham is annoying, Wheeler is stomach turning.....so I don't dislike them equally.

i can't stand when Graham and Wheeler/Anderson get into their little giggle fits while talking about their golf games, we get it, you suck at golf, move on and call the game.

but what makes Graham awful is his fake broadcasting voice and his awful forced catch phrases.

[ice grillin you]

my biggest beef with all of them is they are ridiculous homers....throw in narccisistic and pompous to describe wheeler and graham and thats why i hate them so much

anderson i dont really care for but i can live with him

[PhillyGirl]

LA is great because you know he's getting sauced while doing the broadcast. I love when he and Harry are on together.

L.A. was pounding beers at the Tiki Bar in Clearwater when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I just got a ticket on Phillies.com for opening day.  I've been checking for scattered singles and one finally popped loose. 

Section 120 Row 32.  If I don't end up going, I'll let you guys know ahead of time in case someone needs an extra.

[Dustan] Mohr, however, was understandably disheartened, realizing his chance to stick with the Sox may have vanished.

"I think to use the word 'disappointment' would be an understatement," said Mohr, who is batting .393 this spring with a team-leading three homers. "I've always wanted to be a Red Sox. This is the place I've wanted to be. If this is it and it doesn't work out, I'll have to go to Plan B, but what that is right now I don't know."

The 29-year-old five-year veteran, who was signed to a minor league contract in January, has drawn the interest of at least the Philadelphia Phillies. Mohr said his plans do not include playing in the minors.

"I don't have any intentions of playing in Pawtucket," he said. "I didn't sign with the Red Sox to be in Triple A. I signed to be a Boston Red Sox. If it turns out that it won't be the case, it would be best for me to explore other avenues."

The Sox are his 4th team in 4 years, and Baseball-Reference.com compares him to Wes Chamberlain...

I saw Mohr when he played for the Fort Myers Miracle of the FSL (Twins A).  He had some power, but at age 30 (in June) and having hit .214 with 3 HR in COLORADO last season, I'd rather see Victorino as the 4th OF, and I'd honestly rather see Roberson as the 5th.

Yes! I hate the goddamn golf references. Wheels does that way too f'ing much.

and I agree about the fake voice too.

"PUT ONE IN THE WIN COLUMN FOR THE FIGHTIN PHILS"

Last year on radio he forgot to say it when they had a walk off win and he tried to come back like 3 minutes later after the excitement died down and do it. Gay.

I used to think Wes Chamberlain was going to be a stud. I remember when there was a ton of praise heaped upon Lee Thomas for stealing him from Pittsburgh.

Mohr sounds like a good guy to have though. Although I would kind of like to see Chris Roberson win a job.

[SunMo]

i'd rather have Roberson get a full-season of ABs in the minors instead of getting 15% of that being a 5th OF

If he was real young, I'd agree, but he's going to be 27 in August.  Is he major-league ready or not?

[SunMo]

good point.  i'm not sure if he's ready or not, i'll ask him.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

"Are you ready for the show, Chris?"              "You betcha!"
