The RAB Radio Show: March 16, 2011

Cliff Lee already ticked off Yanks fans by snubbing them in favor of the Phillies. That’s fine. It’s part of the game. But insulting the Yankees using criteria that is actually more critical of the Phillies? This, sir, means war.

And we couldn’t get through the radio show without mentioning Manny Banuelos. I’m clearly baiting Mike here.

Also, new theme music!

I hope Cliff Lee never wins a World Series. Please.

guys i’m not digging the new theme music. The problem is the old theme music was used since the winter meetings and I’m kinda used to it.

So, is it Ban-way-los or Ban-u-ay-los?

I am a midwesterner so I read a lot more than I hear.

According to Michael Kay (and apparently Manny himself) it is Ban-u-ay-los

  Yup, you sounded different too; Definitely sounds like higher quality mics.

Good show today, my comments:

1. I hope Cliff Lee never wins a World Series, he clearly liked the Phillies more than Texas and even more than having to play in NY
2. Keep Manny in AA this year then in 2012 AAA so we can have him start in 2013
3. Colon is really good, I’d pencil him in as the #5 starter and Nova in AAA or as the long man depending on Mitre or Joba’s status

No offence to the old intro song but I think the new one is much, much better

Guthrie has 39 HBPs in his career, 32 of which came from 2008-2010

10 are vs the Yankees (3 in 2008, 5 in 2009, 2 in 2010)

“but i felt some of the Yankees guys are getting older”

Maybe it’s the bit of Cliff Lee apologist coming out in me, but i don’t look at this quote as something to get really angry about.

He didn’t say “Hot Damn the Yankees are so f’ing old that’s why i didn’t go there. Look at their decrepit asses.” or “Oh man look at the youth we have on this Phillies team unlike the Yankees.”

Too much being made of it, IMO.

The line of the podcast “It’s not my money, I couldn’t give a shit!”- Mike. Gotta love RAB.

You should have used the beginning of “Runnin’ With the Devil” by Van Halen for your intro music.

In Cliff “Hillbill”Lee’s defense, his wife probably told him what to say…
