Dave, you are being way too rational….with that kind of thinking there would be no reason to have sportswriters with their expert opinions and predictions….no reason for sports radio….no reason for shows like, “Around The Horn”….hmmmmm….you may have something there…

I have not heard Dale at all this season, an occurrence that may make me believe that there is a God and he has been listening to my prayers.

If you asking about me, then yes. I’ll update it often.

I think it was Papoose Pond, Rick. I work all day with no access to EEI so it’s been ages since I’ve listened to D&H.

BTW has Dale filled in on any of the Wednesday night Red Sox radio broadcasts this year? Everytime I’ve tuned in it’s been John Rish with Joe Castig. Is Dale not part of the O’Brien fill-in rotation this year, or did I miss the announcement that Rish was promoted to number one play-by-play substitute?

Speaking of Felger, he is co-hosting Dale & Holley for the next week or so. Let’s hope that the Great White Dhale is finally harpooned up there at Mantits Pond or whatever it is and we no longer have to listen to him.

I don’t know how the media can put a certain spin, positive or negative, on Smoltz’s outing. I also understand that nobody, myself included, has a crystal ball. So for anyone to think he’s going to either be just fine or inconsistent for the remainder of the season, I’m not sure how they can get that from one start. The bottom line is that Smoltz did not pitch well enough to give his team a chance to win. He put them in an early hole. Does that mean he will be a 42-year-old flop? No. Does his four other innings mean he will give them chance to win most of his starts? No. We will just have to wait to see what he does. That’s what it comes down to.

I’d rather see Celtic fans attack Felger….(literally)

I didn’t think Smoltz was that bad either, Rosenthal was right on. The Globe and Herald beat up on him a bit, but outside of the first inning he was pretty good.

the That Dirty Water blog and Rosenthal all hinted on the same points about Smoltz not being that bad.

He’s better than DiceK anyway.

Will he do a dedicated Joe Haggerty blog at least twice a day? I mean that is justified given the number of brilliant articles and tweets that Joe is writing.
