St. Louis sports talk radio

[thrill]

If you liked that, you would have loved Kevin Slaten going off about how much shame and humiliation Scott Spiezio has brought to a once proud franchise yesterday. And how Bill DeWitt fosters an organization of substance abuse. Compelling and rich.

--P--

I sometimes have fantasies of putting Slaten and Hadley in situations like in the Saw movies. I can just picture Hadley trying to saw Slaten's leg off to get the escape key.

I physically can't listen to Slaten.

Luckily I missed that yesterday.

It was beyond awesome. I believe he thought no one has ever used drugs in baseball unless they've played for Tony LaRussa. He even brought up that LaRussa loves animals, but isn't willing to help humans on his own team.

I also liked the part about the "once proud franchise" that DeWitt is ruining. The Cardinals were one of the last teams to integrate, still kept their black players in seperate hotels through the 60's, had drug problems in the 70's and 80's, had a shortstop flip off the fans--we could go on for a while. But none of these things are worse than the shame DeWitt has brought upon the franchise? Please.

I'm pretty sure Hadley would just chew threw Slaten's leg.

Sometimes I miss Kevin Slaten's moralizing.

I still haven't figured out if he really thinks this way in real life or if he just puts on this act for radio.

I heard him go on and on last week (after Monty filled in for him, man was that guy and idiotand another rant) that he goes to so many Cardinal games. If he's so "ashamed" of this franchise would he really spend his money to go to all of these games he claims to go to?

I physically can't listen to Slaten.

I can feel rage building w/ in myself when I listen to him. Its very strange that I still listen to him for an hour a day.

I don't listen to sports talk radio. Can't stand it. Between the combination of blowhard hosts and unrealistic, knee-jerk reactionists calling in, I think I'd rather try to pull my hair out while diving head-first into an active volcano.

That is a very vivid description and it also describes how I feel about listening to Slaten.

But ever since the morning grind disbanded I pretty much stopped listening to 590 anyway.

Sports Open Line on KMOX is decent. I've been listening since the late 1960's. They do it right.

I find most of the rest of sports talk to be unlistenable.

Sports Open Line is the gold standard of sports talk radio. Even though they only have about 5 minutes of "open line" during an entire week. Informative without being opnionated.

"Live at Shannon's" is the best radio show though, bar none. Too bad it comes on at like 12am. I love listening to it when they play replays during long rain delays.
