Steve Phillips thinks the Phils are going to win the Series thus the Rays will inevitably win.

So, if the Phils win,
does Snelling get a ring since he logged at bats during the season?

Nowhere near as bad as goddamned KOMO radio.
Don’t run your commercials too long, then have Rizzs play it out like the action is just happening. My god I hate that.

He wouldn't have to do it if they would return to the game in a timely manner.
Even NASCAR has the sensibility to split the screen and cut back to action when commercials play, if something big happens. If you’re radio (I worked in radio for years), you cut out of the commercial and assure your paying clients you will run their spot again. No excuse.

To be more clear,
those clients pay for usually three weeks of broadcast time. It is up to the station and the client to decide how often the spots run, and when.

The Rangers, who used to be the Washington Senators
And the Mariners, who play in Seattle, Washington.
Is there some sort of Washington curse?!?!?! Yeah there are some other former Washington teams that have made it…but this is still quite a bit of evidence to support a Washington curse….
