John Kruk on BB Tonight

[Wally Mo Pena]

i agree, that comment is wishful thinking more than anything else. Gammons seems to think the reds are a lower class franchise like everyone else at ESPN, but he loves Dunn. The obvious solution for him is to propegate rumors that Dunn is going elsewhere.

[CincyRedsFan30]

I've stated many times that Gammons just tries to stir things up. I've known it for several years. The guy only says positive things about teams/players/GM's that he likes personally.

[Fishercat]

Well, Gammons' idea isn't realistic but it is possible. Look at Hank Blalock. He's one of the better players at his position and he signed a 5 year/15 million extension.

Kruk should stick to farting on TV.

I saw Dibble is now on Best Damn.... do they just trade their rejects or what? The really funny thing about Kruk was how worked up he was getting, I thought he was about to have a stroke. That was some pointless rant.

[Jr's Boy]

Yep mission it looks like it kinda freaked out the others on the show too.lol

[CincyRedsFan30]

I certainly wouldn't be suprised if Kruk did have a stroke. The guy clearly isn't very healthy.

And mission, you know it's really "Best Sports Show Period. That's the smiling side approach to saying the name.

I'm glad that someone else noticed that George Grand never says Damn. It cracks me up everytime i hear it, it's one of the reasons i like him as much as i do.

I love kruk and his passion for this game. He doesn't hold what he thinks back. He blows the Phillies too much but so what? Gammons blows the Red Sox. And all of ESPN blows the Yanks and Red Sox. Kruk will talk smack about someone or something because he feels it is a disgrace. If someone is only hitting .234 when they are a career .312 hitter, he will say something as he should. I like the guy because he is what I want out of a ball player, someone who doesn't take his shit too seriously.

I think kruk's steel nut may have some trace amounts of lead or mercury in it and it's making him unbalanced

Some like that he doesn't say it, and others don't. I respect him for it, because he is showing his convictions and beliefs, and I don't think the word is needed there anyway.

Heh, I'm watching BT, and it's Ravech/Bowa/Olney.

Buster Olney is a ridiculously refreshing voice. He's a stat geek on the show (sort of), and he brings the facts. It complements Bowa using anecdotal evidence well.

[missionhockey21]

Word. I like Olney a good deal. Provides a pretty knowledgable insight to the show.

The entire Baseball Tonight crew are pathetic. Besides Yankees and Red Sox fans, why would anyone waste his or her precious time watching Baseball Tonight. The whole show stinks and the guys who do the show are horrible. SportsCenter is even worse.

When I was a kid, I love watching Baseball Tonight. Ever since I got cable TV back three years ago, I got to watch Baseball Tonight and it amazes me how the analysts are so lousy.

Olney has been awesome as I cited in the main baseball board. I hope Baseball Tonight used him a lot more. ESPN never replaced Bobby Valentine when he decided to leave for greener pastures in Japan. Kruk is allegedly his replacement, but he stinks. I rather see Olney on Baseball Tonight a lot.
