Keep those questions flowing! We won't wait so long to answer them this time, but we can't do an episode without questions from you.

[browntown653]

Yes we can.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

True. But the questions make it better

[DirtyKash]

1. Which pitcher has the best fastball? Best curveball? ...slider? ...changeup? Discuss between yourselves.

2. Should Pedro Martinez retire after 2008?

3. Jeff Passan from Yahoo! wrote a column about baseball games running too long. Your thoughts on whether this is a problem. If so, how would you fix it.

3. a) sub-question: how long should an average baseball game last, timewise?

[Kingdom]

1. If you were picking the contestants for the homerun derby, which 10 do you pick? No limit to who, as long as they are playing obviously. You can pick non allstars, non traditional sluggers, and even pitchers. (My entertainment sake, I'd want to see Micah Owings, Carlos Zambrano, and Ichiro)

2. For Browntown: For the third Nolan Batman film, it's obvious Two-Face is going to be a big part of it, what other villain or villains do you want to see Nolan use? (keeping in mind he brings his sense of style and dark feel to the characters like he's done with the Scarecrow, Joker, and Two-face)

3. If you could deal Kennedy and Hughes for just one of these guys, which one: Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, Luke Hochevar, Andrew Miller, David Price or Jair Jurrjens?

4. Speaking of Jurrjens, think Detroit kinda regrets that deal?

5. For giantsfan: Best acting job for Bon Jovi has been in which movie?

6. Is Mike Jacobs actually Rob Deere?

7. If you ran the reds, and knowing Hamilton would explode like he has for the rangers but the rangers didn't know, do you try dealing Dunn or Encarnacion for Volquez?

[DirtyKash]

4. How do you guys feel about LaTrash Hawkins being allowed to wear jersey #22 and, in the process, disrespecting the legend that was Roger Clemens?

Question of the year

[Kingdom]

Better go buy a bleep machine.

[Halladay_is_God]

1. why doesn't the yankees just take 1 year to sit back, rebuild, and develop their prospects, instead trying to force their way into the playoffs and keep falling short

2. after Joba's 1st start in the rotation, do you miss him in the bullpen
