BTW, Beningo is the biggest cornball on radio. He's like that uncle who still plays "got yer nose" with all the kids in the family, most of whom are now in their 20's. >> Luckily football isn’t important enough to be discussed on satellite radio, so Russo doesn’t have to bone up on it too much. >>

Well, Sirius *does* have all the NFL games FWIW. Russo’s 5-hour “more bluster, less facts” spitfest is going to wear thin for people who have about a BAJILLION other channels to listen to on satellite, myself included.

Inthe area of full disclosure you should have mentioned that you spent your childhood helping your Mom do that.By the way,I can't wait to hear Russo mangle city names all over this great country of ours. I tried to come up with some samples but my brain hurts just trying . Anyway another great column . My supply of Depends is running out.

I can see why Mr. Ratto has been successful in the field of journalism for so long. He has a great writing style and an excellent perspective on sports today. I enjoyed this interview very much and better advice couldn't have come from a Father (that's me!). I missed this yesterday.

He is a true pitcher (versus a thrower) and that tailing fastball he used to freeze batters with was a thing of beauty. I saw Chris Davis against the Yankees and he has a sweet swing. Speaking of the sinking ship we used to call the Bronx Bombers, don't pack it in yet. Things look bleak but with their roster there is still a possibility of a 16-4 type run. I'll keep my fork handy.

You always regret it at the back end. Sabathia will be used up by time his seven years are gone, and couple that with Texeira's long term needs, the Yanks are going to spend a lot of money in order to stink 5 years from now.

The Brewers are clearly showing they do not plan on signing him after the season by letting him go nine and throw 120+ pitches every night. Since they have nothing to loose the Brewers don't care if he goes the extra inning or trows another 10-20 pitches. I'm not saying to avoid CC but I'd see if this heavy workload affects him down the stretch which may lead to problems in the future.
