Words for Damon Bruce from Kuip
From last Sunday's post-game wrap. Might want to keep the volume down if you're at work or have small ones in the area.

I can’t listen to it at work. Can someone give a summary?

He just says “Damon Bruce… go fuck yourself”. That’s it.

Maybe that will satisfy something on one of his lists.
On a side note, I know the wife of one of the guys who wrote this book for philly. They are weird.

Is that flemming thats agreeing with him. haha
Really wanna know what this is about. I remember hearing something a while back about Bruce giving a dickish interview to someone (zito?) and that player told all the player to not do interviews with him.
Idk. anyone know?
link doesn’t work anymore – can you repost or somethin?

I have read here that none of the players will talk to the guy. The announcers clearly don’t like him. And, seemingly, he is a horrible radio host that knows less about baseball than anyone else associated with any sports team, newspaper, or radio station. Ralph looks like Leo Freakin’ Durocher compared to Bruce.
Is there any chance the Flem gig is their way of pushing the guy out the door? I don’t like Myiechaeael Ziturban at all, but at least he knows something about baseball and can actually talk to the players. Finding out what Barry Zito had for lunch yesterday is more interesting than listening to DB embarrass himself.

the douche bag must have decent ratings for his time slot, which tells you a lot about that time slot.

just rip management and rip Pac-10 football and you get people all riled up and call into your show.
A trained monkey could do that.
I think
a trained monkey IS doing it

Something being terrible is, unfortunately, not a criteria for keeping people from enjoying it.
I hate Damon Bruce, but there is apparently a large demographic that eats him up.

I want to learn something when I listen to a show and I have never learned anything from Damon Bruce. He simply isn’t knowledgeable about the Giants and I end up turning the radio off when he says something stupid. At least Urban is knowledgeable about baseball. I don’t follow the A’s, but he seems to know the players and farm system a lot better than the Giants. At least I can listen to him without turning off the radio. Urban can also attract good interview guests, which are the people we really learn from.
Any knowledge Urban has about baseball is utterly wasted.
Since he bends over backwards to avoid any kind of serious discussion of baseball.

I didn’t think it was possible to love Kuiper more, but I love him more after this.

Usually when the Giants are playing we have the game on the tv downstairs, and on the radio upstairs. Last night when I went upstairs to go to bed the radio was still on and I walked into the room to hear Bruce prattling on about how we should have signed Manny.
Seriously? I didn’t hear his “reasons” I threw up a little in my mouth, and turned the radio off.
Yeah, I heard it too
The worst part was that he said “the only difference between the Giants and the Dodgers is Manny Ramirez.” You’d think Hudson, Kemp, Loney, Ethier, etc. were having awful years while Manny is gunning for the triple crown.

didn't he miss 50 games?
I realize they stayed in first, but still.

I believe he also said that with Ramirez hitting behind him, Eugenio Velez would put up similar numbers to Andre Ethier.
Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.
Amazing...
Simply amazing. Damon Bruce isn’t half as bad as Mike Francesa. You guys are lucky you don’t have to hear that moron as much as I do in NY.

Actually
I was listening to DB last night and he was talking about that guy who got tazered over in Oakland. He made a comment to the effects of “if anyone does anything these days, it will definitely end up on YouTube” and then mumbled under his breath “…Duane Kuiper…”
I didn’t really understand it until I heard the mp3.
FWIW, I’m somewhat indifferent towards Damon, but he did hook me up with 4 tickets one time, so I’ll give him credit for that. Things could be worse; he could be Rick Barry.
"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."
Rick Barry
Barry is a big ego and pretty pompus, but I liked listening to him because he knew what he was talking about and he always got good guests on the show.
I don’t like basketball, so the fact that he never stopped talking about it during the summer killed me. At the end of his last broadcast when he announced that he wouldn’t be returning, I clapped in my car.

yeah
His shouting matches with callers got old fast, but he wasn’t a bad listen.
