Book him on George Lopez:

I guess this means he's fired from Cold Pizza/First Take/ESPN Morning Gibberish? Two viewers in Branson, MO are really sad.

They should have hired Gabriel Inglesias, by far a better voice actor.

Bacsik suspended from his sports radio gig after racist comments: http://sportsmediablog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/04/tickets-mike-bacsik-tweets-him.html

SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket has done the inevitable and suspended producer Mike Bacsik, whose claim to fame is serving up Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run. Bacsik's remarks on his personal twitter account got him in trouble. To say that they were inane would be an understatement.

Here's The Ticket's official statement:

Dallas - Radio station KTCK in Dallas has suspended the employment of KTCK producer, talk host and former major league pitcher Mike Bacsik in response to comments he made on his personal Twitter account following San Antonio's win over Dallas last night. With regard to the suspension, KTCK and Cumulus Market Manager Dan Bennett said, "Mike Bacsik's comments were unacceptable and offensive, and are inconsistent with the core values of KTCK and Cumulus. We have made the decision to suspend Mr. Bacsik with the hope that he will take this time to consider the insensitive and hurtful nature of his comments."

Just how long the suspension is has not been revealed. Here's Bacsik's statement:

"I'm sorry for my horribly insensitive tweet last night about the Hispanic community in San Antonio. I have embarrassed myself, my family, friends, The Ticket, and my host Norm Hitzges. I am deeply sorry and understand why so many people are upset. I am dealing with my actions by asking for forgiveness from my wife, kids, parents, The Ticket and Cumulus family, friends, and everybody who was and should have been offended by my tweets last night. Most importantly I am asking for forgiveness from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have made a terrible mistake. I apologize and I hope you can forgive me."

The tweets have been deleted but live on in the world of screen shots.

Here's what's left on his account: "I'm sorry for my horribly insensitive tweet last night about the Hispanic comm. in San Antonio. I apologize and I hope u can forgive me."

Also,

to that Speedy remake. Awful.

Backsuck embarassed himself when he grooved that pitch to Bonds and then started signing baseballs with "I gave up #756".

anything more this jackass does is just piling on. what a douche.

Anything you tweet lives on in the Twitter search engine, even if you delete it. What a turd.

Not really, whenever I search for anything I tweeted (publicly), it comes up empty. Twitter search is really terrible in terms of actual functionality.

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #331 on:** April 26, 2010, 05:49:55 pm »

His apology couldn't be more plastic. He just says I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Dumbass.

Maybe they changed it, but after Dibble deleted a bunch of tweets, you could still find them in search.

Kearns just homered for the second game in a row.

Kearns is on fire lately.

Not sure what's up.

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #337 on:** April 28, 2010, 12:45:24 am »

And he just added a 3 run triple...

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #338 on:** April 28, 2010, 02:36:51 am »

Well Id like to see Kearns succeed somewhere but I doubt this will be anything long term. It'd be cool to see though.

Obed_Marsh · « **Reply #339 on:** April 28, 2010, 07:35:54 am »

I'd like see Kearns win the starting LF job for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now that would be priceless.

spidernat · « **Reply #340 on:** April 28, 2010, 04:28:34 pm »

Kearns is currently on a mini roll.

Is Bacsik eagleskins?

I like that some OTHER team has the junkyard/reclamation project moniker this season.

Jesus Colume news from MLBTR:

Quote

Rather than place Jesus Colome on waivers, the Mariners optioned Shawn Kelley to Triple-A Tacoma to make room for Cliff Lee. M's manager Don Wakamatsu told Ryan Divish of The News Tribune (via Twitter) that there was "not a chance" that Colome could have cleared waivers.

Why would anyone take the guy? In 6 IP he's got an ERA of 7.5 and a WHIP of 1.833, he's given up ERs in each of his 3 appearances. Felipe Lopez is a better reliever.

This guy's name is Walk-em-atsu and you wonder why he likes Colome

Why wouldn't you believe what he said is true? If a smart organization took a chance on him, chances are that some of the dumb ones will also.

i'm just not sure I would care, that's like Rizzo saying "well, we wanted to cut Dukes but we were afraid another team would claim him"

The best-case scenario for the Mariners would be if an AL West team claimed Colome and they got to face him.

Austin Kearns is batting .373/.429/.627 with 2 HR and 11 RBI, 7 doubles, 2 steals, and 6 runs scored.

Oh crap the Kearns lovefest started a couple posts ago.

Lastings Milledge nearly made a STUPID mistake, only Russell Martin is stupider. He's on second with 2 outs, line drive single to LF that was nearly caught, Lastings thinks the inning is over so he jogs to home, left fielder throws home, and Milledge is in the middle with Martin having the ball, so he runs back... and Martin doesn't throw. WTF? Worst of all, 3rd base coach was giving him the stop sign repeatedly and he ignored it.
