Listening to the FAN590 today with the TV on for re-plays and ESPN Play by Play for reference. Gregg Zaun is doing the radio with Jerry Howarth, while Alan Ashby fills in for Alan Trammell with Buck Martinez as Trammell is taking a weekend off - sort of like the great team leader Jose Bautista who's neck is feeling better after it mysteriously tightened up on him while the Jays were in Tampa Florida, not far from where Bautista's new baby and mom live.

And speaking of replacements Mike McCoy has been sent to the AAA Vegas 51's today as it seems to be The Return of Martin Guerre day (as well as Mother's Day), as Arron Hill is back from rehabbing those legs of his - as is the a-for-mentioned Bautista.

The question is, Is that really them? We'll see if we recognize the batting as they all bat with pink bats and everyone's wearing pink accouterments - on both teams and even some pink running shoes.

Top of the 5th

Jerry Howarth is MIA (no news) and Mike Wilner's dream is coming true as he gets the Play by Play chair now into the bottom of the 6th. I like his call, his voice is easy to listen to and his adjectives are original (and you know how much I like original adjectives). He and Zuan are like old friends talking ball. Coolie-o.

Bottom of 7th

Gregg Zaun mentions all the pink stuff is about Breast Cancer Awareness.

Be aware, the epidemic is caused by our petrochemical economy, we are living in a carcinogen soup, in the air especially, and more and more now in our water --- so we can drive cars all by ourselves - enjoy!
