M&MD: 01/28/08 ... they better be talking Super Bowl!

[Dan Castello]

Do you think that they will even try to bring up any baseball or tennis?

[jkb246]

Russian name, Russian name wins Australian Open. Mike snoozing in corner. Dog complains about rain in desert. Mike complains about something else. Dog says it's to quiet here in Glendale. 2020 and then more of the complaining.

Yes, and yes. Are you new here?

[The Fanarooni]

By 1:20, we'll have:
- a Russo discussion of his flight
- a Russo complaint about his hotel, with a reference to Steve Torre and John Montone thrown in, followed by a "say something funny, Mike"
- A discussion of what kind of job Erickson will do at getting guests for the week, followed by a fake argument over the Simms/Caliendo guest spot debate
- Chris saying, "it's quiet, not a lot of juice here yet"
- The first "pitch-and-catch" of the week

Mike Lieberthal retired.

"Mike, let's take a couple minutes here and recap Lieberthal's career, Eddie, get me the numbers on Mikey Lieberthal please. Spotty job by Eddie, I think the desert heat is getting to him Mike, anyway, ok, here we go, ahhh........let's see.........Lieberthal hit .274 for his career with 150 HR's, 2 All-Star games, he was solid defensively, that's a nice little career he put together for 14 years behind the plate, wouldn't you say Mike?

"Uhhhhhhhh, didn't do a whole lot with the bat, he was solid defensively as you say Dawg, decent career, not earth-shattering by any stretch."

"Ya know, I think Eskin and some of the other Philly guys are out here for the game, that wouldn't be a bad spot if Eddie could line it up, get one of the WIP guys on to give us a rundown of Lieberthal's career with the Phillies, kill some time here. Eddie, why don't you see if you can get on that please...we'd like to talk to someone from Philadelphia, maybe a beat writer or a WIP guy, give us a few minutes on Lieberthal...........OK, so we got that out of the way for now, we'll see how Eddie does trying to line that up for us. In the meantime here's our old pal Jeff Ruland, he of Iona fame, now he coaches right next door to where we are in Arizona, he's in New Mexico, the NBA developmental league's Albuquerque Thunderbirds...hello Jeffrey, how are you doin' buddy?"

They'll spend three hours talking about the tour of Cactus League ballparks they took yesterday.

[Francesa the Hut]

Possible Santana and Bedard trades. It's like Christmas in the desert for our boys!

but seriously...are they hapy with their hotel rooms? Is the hotel close to radio row? Is Russo happy to get away from the kids?

[MattFromMilltown]

Anybody know if they've lined up Simmons for a guest spot? Gotta make sure I DVR that.

Don't forget how cranky they will be having to start the show a few hours early. Dog will go into some weird logic about the time difference...

"Science did a good job with the time difference Mikey."

"What are the Redskins doing?"

"I like it, its earlier here than back home."

"What are the Raiders doing? I know how to fix those teams."

"Mikey, what does your watch say? This is wild. Which team handles the time better, that's who will take home the trophy."

[Ballroom Blitz]

Joe B just said he needs to bring Mike's clothes to the cleaners so he can play golf with him. Funny stuff, though I'm sure he was joking (I hope).

[Diet Pepsi]

What day of the week do you think they will reminisce about how they used to be the only sports talk station to broadcast from the superbowl?

My guess: Monday

[jkb246]

His shoes are ruined. I would imagine a free pair are being fedexed to him right now. That was a pretty good Miked up knowing that mike was in a foot of water 20 ft up in the air

[Mets Baseball, Yeah!]

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER

Mike telling a completely uninteresting story about what happened last night, but he tells it as if he was stuck in the Swiss Alps during an avalanche. Mike, you got a little wet, calm down already.

[nysportsfan]

Haha Mike's above the time change. He just said, "oh no, I stay on New York time" haha

[Oh Really]

bedard trade mention before football

[TStecker1]

Where are they on Radio Row? Do they have their own private section or are they with the other radio guys from all over.

[PGANAT]

he didn't wear the seat belt in the back seat because they didn't have an extension
