Ah. I remember the good old days where Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman used to work the Blue Jay games on TSN. Nice to see Buck back.

How will Craig Sager get past the border? Isn't his suits an explosive substance?
I like Buck and of course I like Ronny but anybody with Chip Caray will be completely unlistenable. Chuck Schumer thinks the most dangerous place in the world is between Chip Caray and a microphone.
I think ttis are 2 good hires by TBS for its baseball coverage. I thought Darling did a very good job last year duritng the playoff coverage, and Buck Martinez is a good analyst.
