Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Bride of Open Gameday Thread

Warriors up at the end of three. Baron Davis is healthy and not playing, and no one knows why.

Pablo Sandoval has another homer, which makes three on the season. He entered the night hitting .560/.593/1.000 in 25 at-bats.

Randy Johnson is even uglier than I remember.

Baseball still doesn't need sideline reporters.

If stupid Comcast wants some sex appeal on these broadcasts

they should hire the Baron Von Current Events, Leeann Tweeden, and platoon HowTheyScored and Kitspool. Glad they dumped Overhead Cammy, but Amy should go, too.

it's not far from the philosophy of the giants organization

as long as the people in charge of producing the game think it's a good idea, they'll keep plugging in piss-poor in-game breakaways. It's not the talent's fault they arent'...talented.
