I'll give the Pirates this... assuming they have latitude over their own network's postgame show, they give Rocco a ton of latitude to tell it like it is.

To anyone that has listened to Rocco at all over the last 3-4 years, is it just me or has he finally become the pessimistic Pirates fan that we all have and should be? He's a bit of a smart ass any time they win... I like it. I was listening to him back in 2007ish and it seemed like no matter what, he brought some B.S. optimism.

The Pirates lost 11-1 today but Freddy Sanchez reached base twice, raising his OPS to .712 and he caught a pop-up, raising his F.P. to .914, the sabremetrics indicate that he is a SUPERSTAR and the Pirates will win the World Series next year!!!! Woooooooooo!

I also like him because he's a total nerd, like me, and talks about video games and movies.

Rocco is the man... now.

Good question. I notice that it looks like they are cutting the 6-day work week of some of the regulars. Makes sense.

There's a lot of vacations in the summer as well - may just be filling in.

I stopped listening when it became the Lebron James network. All Lebron! All the time!

Isn't that pretty much every sports network for the past 3-4 days?

Not to mention nothing happening outside of Pittsburgh basically aside from the Pirates.

I don't listen to much sports talk but when I do it's the FAN.

I had the luxury of listening to vinnie and cook yesterday driving to a mtg. Vinnie was arguing MLB is more popular than NFL because more fans go to MLB games in a season than NFL games and cook goes well... Yeah there are 10x more games a season of course they have higher total attendance. Then vinnie realized he was being a dummy so he said MLB obviously generates more ad revenue and was going on this huge rant and cook goes the the super bowl probably makes a huge portion, if not the whole total, of a total MLB season. I was baffled vinnie was trying to argue MLB is more popular

John Burton does pretty solid impersonations of the whole rest of the Fan lineup, but especially Vinnie and Cook and Starkey. They ought to let him do the Vinnie and Cook show as Vinnie and Cook for a week next time they are on vacation.

Vinnie has an accent. Big deal. SXM gave Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, who has the same accent plus a speech impediment, his own flippin' channel.

That Vinnie dude said the Baseball Show was going away. About time, I had enough of him whining about how the Pirates suck.

I think he is the primary reason that I don't listen to the station at all.
