MIAMI -- Broadcaster Mark Grace apologized on the air Wednesday for profane remarks that made their way onto Tuesday's broadcast.
Due to a faulty talk-back switch, viewers heard remarks that Grace thought could only be heard by those in the television truck. Play-by-play man Thom Brennaman apologized on Tuesday night a few innings after the incident and Grace apologized through the media following the game and followed it up with a direct, unscripted apology during Wednesday's pregame show and in the opening inning of the game.

Diamondbacks team president Rich Dozer also released a statement on Wednesday.

"We apologize to all fans who may have heard comments as a result of a technical difficulty during last night's game," Dozer said. "We do not condone the remarks and truly regret the fact that this unfortunate incident took place. Providing our fans with wholesome, family entertainment both in-stadium and on-air has always been our top priority, and I assure you that this will never happen again, technical difficulty or not. Mark feels terrible about the situation and has made those feelings clear in tonight's broadcast."

Here is what he apparently said....

Snyder definately. Every f##king swing that guy takes is an underwater swing.

Snyder hit a f##king grand slam off of Remlinger and they released him. If this guy can hit a slam off ya get your f##king ass outta here.

Nope, but I did hear a sound bite of a radio interview with Bob Feller in response to Larry Kreuger. The interview ended when the host called him a freakin racist.
