Hello Friends, hope the summer heat is treating you well.  I know that melting under the summer sun has been on my short list of hobbies this season.  With out further adieu lets crack this coconut.

All Star Broadcasters

I watched the All-Star game last week and I could not help but to think how much better it would be if we had some of the great Broadcasters call the game.  I mean common it is the All-Star game, Have Vin Scully call the game.  That would indeed make it a mid summer classic.  All the MLB would have to do is allow the Fans vote for their favorite Broadcaster, this would be simple because the people who will vote in their Broadcaster would be the ones who would watch the game the most anyway.  This isnt an assult on Joe Buck, wait what am I saying yes it is.  He is better off calling Football games. I know that his dad was a quintessential Broadcaster, but he just doesnt share the same magic that his father did.

Speaking of All-Star Broadcaster, I got the chance to meet Vin Scully last friday and as you should know I am a Dodger Fan.  Mr. Scully has been my persoanal insperation to getting into Braodcasting, and I just wanted to share how much of an honor it was to meet a person with such stature.

D’Backs Trades

If you are not a regular to the Palm Tree Perspective , I stated that one of the greatest needs for the Diamondbacks lied in the Bullpen.  Well from here I am sitting, the D’Backs made a BIG move.  I like the move to bringing in the tallest pitcher in the MLB.  Jon Rauch is going to bring a great boost to this team, and to a pen that has be dreadful.  In addition to bringing a big boost, I think that we are looking at our next closer because Brandon Lyon is not going to be in a D’Backs uni next year.

Tony Clark is the Great Mustafa, and he is going to add a great boost to an uptight locker room that is sorely missing Eric Byrnes’ attitude.  I like what Clark is going to bring to the locker room, but I unfortunately do not believe that he is going to add much to the line-up.  I feel that he was brought to this team for the attitude that he brings.

Brett ( Please Never Say His Last Name Again) Saga Continues

From now on I refuse to say Brett’s last name, I have nothing against him but I cannot believe that this is still the biggest story in the NFL going into camp.  This story is 3 weeks long and I don’t feel it has the legs that most sports writers are giving it.  So I am done, I am boycotting writing about Brett.

McCabe this Week

If you haven’t had a chance you should head over to Onairsportsradio.com and check out the podcasts from the week thus far.  McCabe caught up with one of my former high school classmates and now a star at Stanford on Monday in Lawrence Hill, shockingly enough Kevin poses the question on who won one on one back in the day.  Lets just say that the only chance I would have against Lawrence Hill is if I drew enough fouls to send me to the line or maybe if we were playing Baseketball or something….oh hell I would still get my butt kicked.

Kevin also caught up with Brian Stann who fights with the WEC, and D’Backs Broadcaster Daron Sutton this week on the show.

Hope ya’ll have a great rest of the week, and make sure you look out you never know when I will drop another coconut full of knowledge for you.
