Further Review

“It won’t be long now before the Yankees, trailing by three runs in the ninth, simply go over to the Royals’ dugout and purchase the final four runs.”
— Dan Lebatard, sports-talk host on ESPN Radio

“I would definitely go to more games if they brought on replacement players. It wouldn’t bother me at all.”
— Caller, KMBZ 980

“Major League Baseball claims that six to eight teams will be contracted. Someone is not telling the truth. Either there are not six teams that are going to be contracted, or the Royals are one of them. I think there will [be a strike]. The only question is, how long will it last?”
— Rob Neyer, baseball columnist for ESPN.com, 980

GH: Any Royals fan who is willing to support baseball in its present state has his or her head up Bud Selig’s backside. The Royals have fallen, and baseball won’t let them get up.

“Discipline. Discipline, pure and simple. Everybody can speculate [about steroids] all they want. But until it’s proven, you have to believe it’s legit.”
— Mike McFarlane, explaining how Sammy Sosa can hit home runs longer than 500 feet after breaking in as a 170-pound player who was once considered an easy out, WHB 810

GH: And because O.J. was found not guilty, we have to believe he didn’t lop the heads off two people? If Sosa owes his body’s transformation to simple discipline, the Army and Navy football teams should kick Notre Dame’s ass every year.

“What if you had a hose that would shoot the streaker with itch-inducing powder? Here, naked boy, try this puppy on! Yeah, get the crab gun out. It’s all fun and games until the herpes net comes out. That would reduce the streakers at Wembley, I would think.”
— Steve Czaban, after a streaker once again graced center court at Wimbledon, Fox Sports Radio

“I’m not excited about going to Chiefs training camp. Wisconsin is the most ugly city in America. City, state, country … whatever. The state of Wisconsin was settled by the circus freak shows.”
— Soren Petro, on the Chiefs’ training camp in River Falls, Wisconsin, 980
