Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

How is Louis Coleman holding up? He was a stud at LSU. Guy filled both the number 1 starter and closer roles at different points in his career.

Doing quite well as a reliever...one of the bright spots of the bullpen, though he's not playing a ton at this point (was just called up a couple months ago). Hopefully his success continues for us.

And yes, football has arrived. Finally get to see my Chiefs in action tomorrow night.

My dad posted this picture on Facebook of a 5- or 6-year old version of me with future HOF manager Bobby Cox (and less successful manager Jimmy Williams).

Also, here's a 14-year old me getting Mark McGwire's autograph that was in the major paper in Atlanta during the McGwire/Sosa homerun contest.

Those are both awesome!

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

You look so star-struck in the second picture. But who could blame you?

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Those are both seriously awesome. Very cool.

In other news, the NFL preseason is a total joke. I can't believe they charge full price for tickets to those games. I'm glad football is back, but the only way I've enjoyed this game is by throwing back a couple high gravity beers. Yum.

Also, go Royals.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

On a Royals note: How about Kyle Davies getting cut then getting a DUI... Well played sir...

Yeah, I'm not sure. I think I was probably just amazed he was actually signing for me in the mad mob that was down there.

Actually, he got the DUI first.... so I'd expect the MLBPA to be filing a grievance.

Which is pretty lame all things considered. Loved the deadspin coverage of this incident: http://deadspin.com/5830312/kyle-dav...rst-to-worster

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

And they do not cover the Big 12 in this cultural wasteland.

Not that there will be a Big 12 to cover.

He reminds me of a weird cross between Christopher Meloni, Dustin Diamond and Randy Blythe.

Very nice. You were a cute kid :]

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

I miss Skip Caray. He was awesome. And Ernie Johnson Sr died yesterday, which is sad. This will forever be my memory of Skip...
