Cool.

You handled that very well. Thanks for posting this because I was not able to listen to the show.

Love the shirt. Can I get one in red?

not as skinny and cute as I was for the first 40 years.

Was listening to this

Do you think Biggs is ever like “gaw what I wouldn’t give for one intelligent caller for once – these people are so freaking dumb I can’t take it!”

My husband usually rolls his eyes at me when I try to listen to the show, because of the callers.

Isn't the call screener supposed to help a little there..?

We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.

I have called in before, they don't screen. They do delay to bleep foul language though.

Heard that

Wish you would have sllammed that caller a little harder.

Had a good laugh at Jim Lackey though.

What do you need a fancy suit for, Charlie, you ain't got no job to wear it to.

Is this where the Jim Lackey stuff started?

Actually, it sounded a lot like the call in shows in NY

and those hosts are BRUTAL! None of this Terry Smith “all opinions are welcome even if the Angel management can do no wrong.” The hosts will actually tell the callers how stupid they sound. It’s quite amusing.

This season just seems jinxed. If it can go wrong, it does

Well, that's probably beause in NY you ould be 40th in the loal ratings, but...

…you still draw 150,000 listeners that advertisers will pay for. And money would, thereby, support abusive hosts. And, hey, it’s New York! Whaddayagonnadoaboutit???

Also it's NY

the sports fans here love abusing and they love being abused. Also, some of the questions makes Biggsy’s listeners seem intelligent. “The Angels need middle relief I think we could package Melky Cabrera and Bruney for Jared Weaver and Torii Hunter. Whadya think?”
