Early E mail

"Let's extend the weekend one more day. Signed, Slackers." Brian in Syracuse

Later, someone wrote and asked if last Thursday was Rome's Friday, was today his Monday? Jim said....."No....."

Kendry Morales

The Angels player suffered a fracture in his leg during a team celebration after he hit a walk off grand slam. Today, it spawned E mails.

"Only high 5's and knuckle bump blow ups...anything else is too dangerous" - Kendry Morales.

Others wrote in blaming the music played whenever a homerun is hit at Angel Stadium. "You have to party!"

This brought on a "Sandstorm vs. Zombie thread. Rome said, "This is a Sandstorm house!"

Triple U's

Many Triple U's came in centered around guys at work and there comments when making or missing shots of crumpled up paper to the trash can. 

One went something like, "Triple U: The tool that picks up the missed shot and incorporates play by play, 'Rebound, hoop, and the harm!'. "

The Hot Line

This is the line interview guests are given to call. Rome said he wanted the "fish alarm" sounded live on air whenever the hotline rang. He then corrected himself and said it would be the "Bracket Alert" alarm. He didn't want to use the fish alarm because it would send people running! A few minutes later, the alarm sounded as Dallas Braden called.

Dallas Braden

After the interview, an E mail came in: "Dallas is right. Nobody getting to first base is great. Signed, John in Syracuse, 'Bill' Guidry, and Stars Wars virgins."

Craig in Tampa

E mail Contest

One came in from a guy lamenting that he had to go to the movies with his girl only to have to see "Kentucky Derby highlights". (Because he had to see the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker.) He ended with a "War Bums" reference. He got BLOCKED! Rome said it was for the bum reference and not the Kentucky Derby reference.

Text Contest Selections

"Triple U: The guy that calls you out for an "alley-oop" when he walks by the waste basket...."

"...in the spirit of the Grammatica's.....let us back in. Signed, all BLOCKED clones."

Triple U sponsor: "Guys who buy a big screen for a sports events then return them."
