3 points from XM today

1. I thought Kevin Kennedy was going to cry when he said "you heard what Joe Torre said last week," the Yankees problems in making the playoffs will be due to the new closers for the Red Sox and the Blue Jays. So, Torre's words become 100% accurate if they can be used against Torre's own team or can prop up Kevin's favorite, the Red Sox? Of course, he & Dibs bow at the altar of how important the closer is EXCEPT IF THEY'D HAVE TO USE IT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MARIANO RIVERA.
2. I love XM, but they could save a lot of money by scrapping the entire Home Plate Update production staff along with its concept. IT ISN'T AN UPDATE SHOW EVER. YOU NEVER GET AN UPDATED SCORE. IT'S A FANCY SELF-CONSCIOUS EXCUSE FOR USING PRODUCTION FACILITIES & JUVENILE VOICE OVER GUYS. P.S. TODAY ONE OF YOUR FANCY GUYS REFERRED TO THE SEATTLE MARINERS AS THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. GET RID OF THIS MESS.
3. ESPN AND XM show hosts should all be required to label their words as OPINION OR COMMENT. Not fact. Most of these guys don't spend all their time studying the 30 baseball teams--they have other responsibilities. It's impossible for them to know everything about all teams. In addition, everyone has personal biases. Therefore, numerous times each day, disclaimers should be included identifying their words as their "opinion only." (Someone like Jeff Erickson is an exception--he does spend all his time on baseball information, from what I can tell).
