He flies in, he knows nothing about probably 95% of the MLB teams. The producers hand him a list of "themes" - i.e. so-and-so is hot, so-and-so is slumping. And it's comical (painful to the viewer) to hear Dick's creaky mind grasp for his "theme" over and over.

He does have to tolerate Lesley Visser, don't forget. How they ever got married I will never know. I hope that FOX does not promote him any lower than the third team on NFL broadcasts.Nathan Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829911459870773896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-27619532487826449272009-07-13T15:12:57.291-04:002009-07-13T15:12:57.291-04:00This is an ad/saying that they do on all Fox stati...This is an ad/saying that they do on all Fox stations (FOX, FSN). They associate it with the relievers, especially before games when they do the "holds" leaderboard. <br /><br />I assume he was supposed to do this since they were talking about the eighth inning guy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993137469895785913noreply@blogger.com
