Breaking Down The WBC

We interrupt all this basketball coverage to bring you a blast from Indians' past. By land, by sea, by way of ESPN, its Carlos Baerga, all grown up, rocking a mustard yellow suit with brown pin stripes, breaking down the World Baseball Classic, as and audience of four people sit at home watching the coverage. I don't know what he's saying either, but it doesn't matter. He was my favorite player growing up, and he is now, automatically, my favorite baseball analyst as well. I bet he could still go yard from both sides of the plate in the same inning, any night of the week.

Ric Bucher Doesn't Like Brian Windhorst

The snazzy ESPN sideline reporter Ric - hold the CK - Bucher doesn't like Brian Windhorst. He says Brian breaks stories that he doesn't know for sure are true. Sounds like Brian needs a Sr. Writers Job at ESPN then, huh Ri -c. From Awful Announcing via Cursed Cleveland:

"The Plain Dealer came out and said very early on that Joe Smith was going to the Cavs, but I know as early as yesterday that there was a chance it could have come apart and he could have been headed to the Lakers… it got a little contentious… at the end of the day does the Plain Dealer look wrong…? No, because he ended up there, but were they completely on the beam… maybe not?And so, my issue now is right now is....You have people who put things there, that are not couched, that put it out there early because they want to be first, and then they're not right. There's no culpability, there's no okay...this is going to happen and it didn't."

So Windhorst is wrong because he said Joe Smith was going to sign with the Cavaliers, and he then signed with the Cavaliers. Expect to get booed next time you are on the sidelines in Cleveland Ric...you don't make any sense.
