"Tim McCarther" ... That has a double M followed immediately by a double C.

Episode #136 of the Countdown podcast is up at iHeart Radio.

A preview from The Man:

A-Block (1:45) The death of baseball’s legendary television analyst Tim McCarver, easily one of the most beloved people in the sport, and in broadcasting. I knew him for 42 years and for whatever criticisms he took late in his career from listeners who didn’t realize all the other ones were merely doing impressions of him, in 1983 he literally, personally, saved my love of the game. He was a pleasure to work with, and as I have been saying for 20 years, his insight in literally the last 60 seconds of the bottom of the 9th inning of the 7th Game of the most emotional season in baseball history was the television equivalent of Bill Mazeroski’s home run to win the 1960 World Series.

That’s the first time I’ve ever linked to The Weather Channel’s website. Weird.

(27:04) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Nikki Haley would struggle with the math part of her own Presidential Candidate Mental Competency Test

(just an image. not a tweet or a link)

C-Block (34:05) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY Corridor Rescue

Corridor Rescue (35:27) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: Fittingly on the occasion of the loss of a great baseball broadcaster, Thurber’s story that begins with the words of another great baseball broadcaster: “The Catbird Seat”

For me, it’s alliterative: Thurber Thursdays. (I’m writing this up at about 10:00 pm MST.) And if you want some video, here’s the link to Part 1 when he read it on the TV version of Countdown.

Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
