IIH Idol-Partner Scores Title Shot

So there is some good news.




Longtime WFAN color analyst, and partner of IIH idol, John Sterling;

SUZYN WALDMAN,

has been nominated for the Radio Hall of Fame.

Listeners, and IIH bloggers, will be able to vote, on Votem, starting July, 15.  The public vote will be counted as " one of the votes" by the electoral college ( committee).  In other words, you can vote but it won't matter. The winner is already decided. 

Who knows, it could be Suzyn???!!!

I, Alphonso, personally gave a huge $$.$$ contribution to the election committee.  And I directed my endowment to the STEINBRENNER kids' ski vacation fund, in the name of our beloved SUZYN.

If elected, SUZYN will be inducted on August 5, with the ceremony being " sometime in the fall."  (The precision of these mega-events is mind boggling).

 The ceremony could tie-in with the Yankees "play-in" game for the wild card championship.  And think of the praise which John could heap upon her, as Giancarlo strikes out again with the bases loaded.

The location of the Radio Hall of fame, remains a state secret.

Well done SUZYN.

Wait.  You haven't been there?  It's at 360 North State Street, Chicago, IL where it's always been.  You have to get there early, however, because the line can be 39 blocks long during peak periods.  It's better to camp on the sidewalk overnight to ensure you get an admission ticket.

Suzyn stands a good chance as there are only 35,003 nominees this year.

Please don't knock it. There are several people here whom I know are also in the literary fields (local CNY journalism, comic book, etc) who won quite similar awards to this one. It's not like every honoring place has to be like the Baseball Hall of Fame or anything with impressive locations with huge busts of it's honorees. Most of the time it's just a wall plaque in some random hallway to some business office.

I like to think that the awards gave a moment of joy to the people who constantly work hard at their careers to be awarded something of recognition. Like her or not, honestly Suzy does deserves some props for her work.

Howard Stern said the RHOF is kind of a fraud started by some guy in his basement and that you have to pay a fee to get inducted. The same with the Hollywood Walk Of Fame-no fee, no hand in the sidewalk cement.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Hm, and I thought Howard Stern was a fraud started by some guy in his basement.

I agree with Anon: Hurrah for Suzyn, who is not only a cancer survivor but who has surely had to battle through things we can scarcely imagine to get where she is today.

BillyMartinsHangover said...

The Internet has become a place for people to just take cheap shots at everything.

I'm happy for her.

Time to go make the donuts.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Suzyn deserves it just because she managed to make Gary Sheffield seem lovable.

LBJ, the line was either for the House of Blues when George Clinton was playing or maybe for Shaw's Crab House when they had the 2 for 1 sushi special with live jazz.

Let's romp through the looking glass for a moment: Worst analyst of all time paired felicitously with the worst play-by-play guy of all time. Ms. Belaboring the Obvious--witless, strident, smug, unlistenable. But she can really reel off those out-of-town scores so that she appears to have an actual function in the booth.

Life is a bitter mystery.

I’m Stat Boy!
I just got off of my shift at The Pizza Pit. Mommy had a sandwich waiting for me in my basement apartment and I ate it. Then I picked my zits and changed out of my cool orange and red uniform. After I attempted to sooth my onanism, I decided the world should know of the depth of my baseball knowledge. I’m Stat Boy, and the world should pay for me being such a loser!

MORE GOOD NEWS--Yankes apparently concoct an injury for Morales as a way to dispose of him gently and recall Tushman. This is what should have happened at the outset:

BillyMartinsHangover, what are you saying??? The internet is just a place for people to take cheap shots? When did this happen????!!

Well, at least it's still clean of pornography and cheap scams run by people claiming to be Nigerian princes.

HoraceClarke66 said...

So the latest report is that whoever paid to have Big Papi shot anted up only $7,800, to be split among 6 of the greatest minds in the DR.

Who in the hell goes so cheap to do something this outrageous and still thinks he'll get away with it? Who would ever think he could put up so little money and pull off something so big—

Uh-oh. Never mind.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Does Morales' "Injury" account for the team's bizarre decision to sit him once he finally broke through and got a couple hits? Or did he hurt himself with all that extended time standing on bases?

Whatever. Though I think he should still be our entrant in the Home Run Derby.

Joe Formerlyof Brooklyn said...


Whatever The Faults of Kendrys, and there are a bunch, they are not HIS problems. They have becomes NYY problems because someone put him on the roster. He's probably doing his best, which might be sad for him, but has become sadder for Yankees fans.

Other than that: Putting a 35-year-old doorstop on the IL isn't a shock.

I wonder, tho: Is there a rule that limits the number of cheap "make the guy disappear -- move him to the IL" levers Cashmoney can pull?

"Who is the angry guy with no user name?"

Not-so-affectionately known as Buck's Puckered Hemorrhoid. It has recently been dubbed "Stat Boy!®™" due to its obsession with stats. Angry, abusive, unresponsive and generally posts late at night, thus assumed to work as a pizza delivery guy. Originally claimed to being picked on, but could never give an example. Now its just our unwanted millennial mascot. Believed to have migrated here due to being banned at RAB and other sites.

Dufus T. Firefly--did it ever occur to you that every one of your posts betrays a mind so fatally mediocre and dull, that you are a herd animal of such base instincts that you ought not to be allowed outside without a collar and leash?

You are the guy who, of course, comically asserts that this or that of your BIG-MUSCLED HERO MEN is a clutch superman even when the career numbers prove that he isn't; the guy who nestles up to the warped cross-dressing illterate ("collassall") who types FUCKERSFUCKERSFUCKERS like a four-year-old with Down's Syndrome; who runs with the jackal pack of Trump reactionaries who think that it's TERRIBLY CLEVER to heap contempt on the desperate working poor of this country; etc., etc., etc.

And as for anger: Internet morons and mediocrities the world over have learned from Dr. Phil have learned that anger is BAD, even as they even their own rage in endless imebilic flame posts of crude reactionary social stereotypes and frat-house epithets. But did you realize that Malcolm X was angry? Joan of Arc? Robespierre? Spartacus? Nat Turner? Sojourner Truth? James Baldwin? Martin Luther King? Martin Luther? Tom Paine? Susan B. Anthony? Betty Friedan? Dorothy Day? The Berrigan Brothers?

Anger is the engine of human enlightenment and progress. You are a dull-witted, groupthink sloth and complacent, grunting Animal House pig. See the difference?

BillyMartinsHangover -- So you're another of the blog idiots who thinks that glorifying drunkenness and loutishness, like a freshman in Animal House, makes you an impossibly clever and cool guy. No . . . it makes you just another dumb jerk. I notice that you don't have the guts or the mettle to address any of the points I made. Why? Because you're too fucking stupid and illiterate to have any thoughts. You just vomit up puerile epithets and boilerplate abuse.

Why don't you PROVE to us how really BRILLIANT you are? You think anger is always a bad thing, like every other flame-addict moron on the Internet? You don't think anger can be a galvanizing force for good? Why not? Can you even rise to the level of actual thought about anything? No . . . just random snide verbal vomit. You're a scummy little worm who has never really had a thought about anything in your blighted, mediocre life. If you could answer in subtance, you would. But you can't. So you posture and vomit. YUCK.

What a staggeringly ignorant and illiterate piece of shit you are. Here are some sources to remediate your disgusting ignorance about the righteous anger of one of the greatest Americans. Your problem is that you don't have the cojones or the knowledge to discuss anything serious--you just fling contempt, because that is the essence of your being: petty resentment and contempt, born of your own unsalvageable stupidity and meanness of spirit--a subhuman flow of scum floating down the sewer of life. Your parents must be very proud . . . if you even know who your parents are. LOL!
