yep...the head of sector 7...john turturro is a very good actor.

[HoustonCalling]

Reggie Jackson hit .286 32 HR 110 RBI in 77'

[xbrokendownx]

oh damn the writer in the show is the real writer...thats kinda cool

[selftitled85]

Reggie Jackson hit .286 32 HR 110 RBI in 77'

[selftitled85]

i work 8-midnight....FUCK!

[youkwalks]

The Pete Rose one was better.

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

I thought it was pretty good. Did anyone watch afterwards when Reggie claimed he never said the straw comment, and the journalist said he did. Quite interesting.

[selftitled85]

The Pete Rose one was better.

dude that imo was espns worst movie...even worse than the dale earnhardt one.

I thought it was pretty good. Did anyone watch afterwards when Reggie claimed he never said the straw comment, and the journalist said he did. Quite interesting.

yeah i found it interesting...but thats nyc for you.

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

yeah i found it interesting...but thats nyc for you.
Yeah, of course Reggie would deny it, and the journalist would go with it, but I think I can see Reggie make a comment like that.

[selftitled85]

Yeah, of course Reggie would deny it, and the journalist would go with it, but I think I can see Reggie make a comment like that.

i can too...im just a little skeptical he would make it before the season starts. i could see him making it mid-season or after his first season...but not even before the season starts.

[tec84]

I caught a little bit of the show after the Home Run Derby... John Turturro is the shit, so maybe I'll watch it again!

[bduke13]

I caught a little bit of the show after the Home Run Derby... John Turturro is the shit, so maybe I'll watch it again!

Yea John Turturro is man. If he wasn't in this show I wouldn't watch it

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

i can too...im just a little skeptical he would make it before the season starts. i could see him making it mid-season or after his first season...but not even before the season starts.
Yeah it is iffy, but hey, the show is working because we are talking about it. I'm gonna continue to try and watch it.

Another note, was Billy Martin really cheating on his wife and all that good stuff?

[LeftWideOpen]

i havent seen this, but the reviews for it have been really bad. i can understand a yankee fan finding it interesting, though.

[DaveFeelsRight]

this was pretty bad

[xbrokendownx]

if anyone that didnt see it is interested, you can stream it here

[KillMeTheKing26]

i hear the producers caught a lot of flack for that since jackson is black and the guy playing him is puerto rican.

[AshesAshes]

Donuts thats your answer?

Im rewatching episode 2 right now

[xbrokendownx]

oh shit its on now? niceeeee i missed it before cuz of work

[AshesAshes]

Yea they re-air it after sportscenter its sweet

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

I'm going to watch it tomorrow.

[kbauer]

i hate the yankees and pretty much everything about them but i really have enjoyed this show so far.

[xbrokendownx]

damn i completely forgot this was on tonight...can i watch it online anywhere? its on again at 4am but ill be passed the fuck out by then

[kbauer]

im glad they featured a little of ernie harwell in the last episode. i wonder if that was an archived radio braodcast they pulled that from or if he recorded it just for the show. he sounded haggard but that could had been the busted sound quality.

anyways, steinbrenner is fucking crazy and theyre making martin look pretty good so far.

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

damn i completely forgot this was on tonight...can i watch it online anywhere? its on again at 4am but ill be passed the fuck out by then
I'm pretty sure you can watch past episodes on their like official website, just seach it on google.

[xbrokendownx]

[kbauer]

the episode has been pretty good so far tonight but a feeling with a few more to go and no son of sam sub plot, things might get a little dry.
