Special Thanks to Dan Graziano for Joining Us on Tuesday Night

Just want to extend a big "Thank You" to Dan Graziano, the National Baseball Columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger for joining us the other night.

Dan is also the President of the New York Chapter of the BBWAA. And, not only that, he has authored 2 novels.

Thanks to All of Our August Guests

Before we get too deep into September, I just want to publicly thank the following for joining us during the month of August:

Bob Nightengale, National Baseball Writer for USA Today
Kat O'Brien, Yankees Beat Reporter for Newsday
Will Carroll of The Baseball Prospectus
Brian Bassett of The Jets Blog
Matt Cerrone of Mets Blog

Baseball Talk + Knicks Talk = Tonight's Show

Because baseball's regular season is now halfway done, now would be a good time to bring on Newsday's national baseball writer Ken Davidoff--and to update this website, while I'm at it.

Ken will join us tonight at 9:30PM.

And, keeping it an all-Newsday affair tonight, Newsday's Knicks beat reporter Alan Hahn will be joining us at 10:30PM.

Speaking of Newsday and affairs, Linda Kozlowski played a Newsday reporter in Crocodile Dundee. Paul Hogan would later divorce his wife to marry Ms. Kozlowski. They are still married today.

Kat O'Brien Interview Now Up on the Web

First off, we want to thank Ms. Kat O'Brien for joining us on Sports Talk tonight. It was her first appearance with us, and she was an absolute natural. She even gave us verbatim quotes from an interview that she had conducted with Hank Steinbrenner just before coming on with us.

The interview is now up at http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg

You may also listen to it by clicking here.

The interview is 28+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Yankees talk and is in MP3 format.

Newsday's Kat O'Brien Joins Us Live Tonight

We will be joined by Newsday's Yankees beat reporter Kat O'Brien tonight at 10:15PM on Long Island's 90.3FM. And, get this, she'll be coming to us live from Nashville (site of the GM Meetings, for those keeping track at home)!

For those in the listening area, we do hope that you'll give us a listen. This will be Kat's first appearance on our show, and we hope it's one of many to come.

The interview will be available at http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg or by clicking here very soon after the show has concluded.

We thank Ms. O'Brien for the generosity of her time.

P.S. Kat and I share an alma mater--except I'm old.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!

I know that I am nothing but a worthless, pathetic Mets fan and therefore have no business whatsoever poking fun at ANY playoff team, so I will try my hardest to stick to the facts and refrain from any excess humor or sarcasm.

With that in mind, here it is plain and simple:

The hopes of the 2007 season, and more importantly the future direction of the greatest sports franchise in history all rests in the hands of Mr. Mercenary, the Rocket roger Clemens.

While it's true that Roger could pitch the game of the century and lead the Bombers to victory, or the bats could simply pound the Tribe into submission only for the club to fall short in games 4 or 5, but that's hardly important now. This is what Roger was brought in here for, this is the game that is supposed to justify the ridiculous salary and Suzyn Waldman's even more ridiculous reaction to his arrival.

Sunday can't come fast enough!

ARod Joins the No Homers Club

The Germans call it gestalt

To sum up (all pun intended), it refers to a "unified whole." So, last night's Yankees barrage of home runs allows me to link in the Simpsons movie with Mr. Rodriguez's quest for 500. Ah, closure.

P.S. And as we learned previously from The Simpsons, "No one who speaks German could be an evil man."
