Last night on The Baseball Show, co-host Mike Rosenbaum from The Golden Sombrero and I were back at it with 2011’s first installment of the finest baseball podcast on the entire internet.

Let us enlighten you about the following topics:

• Our thoughts on Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven’s selection to the Hall of Fame.

• We weigh in on some of the other notable players – Barry Larkin, Fred McGriff, Jeff Bagwell, and Edgar Martinez – who either came up just short in the voting or failed to receive adequate support.

• We talk about the man (kind of), the myth, the legend…Bryce Harper. Could we see Harper in D.C. in 2011? Probably not, but we entertain the idea and suggest several hypothetical scenarios.

• Who was the winner in the Matt Garza trade? We explore his concerning 2010 performance as well as assess the slew of prospects that were shipped off by the Cubs.

• Like always, we dedicated some time to talking about our respective teams, the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. Clint explains what the signing of Edgar Renteria, Jeremy Hermida, and Fred Lewis means for the Reds, and also touches upon how the loss of Arthur Rhodes might affect the bullpen.

• I discuss the White Sox decision to sign Will Ohman, and how his presence in the bullpen suggests that the South Siders have slotted Chris Sale as a starting pitcher.

As always, we hope that baseball fans far and wide enjoy our hardcore baseball talk about figures from the past, present and future.

Tonight on The Baseball Show co-host Mike Rosenbaum of the Golden Sombrero and I discuss the following:

-Which is strikes more fear in the hearts of the fans? The Boston Red Sox lineup or the Philadelphia Phillies starting rotation?
-Reactions to the Cliff Lee signing
-Is Kerry Wood heading back to Chicago?
-Russell Martin signs with the Yankees
-Did you know Moises Alou used to pee on his hands?
-Juan Pierre, aka “The Bat Boy” gets some special attention

As always, much more!

This morning on The Baseball Show, Mike Rosenbaum of the The Golden Sombrero Baseball Blog and I discussed the following:

-Carl Crawford to the Red Sox. Ramifications of having four starting outfielders?
-Jay Bruce’s contract extension
-Mark Reynolds to the Orioles–is this the beginning of the end?
-Carlos Pena to the Cubs
-Possible landing spots for Derek Lee
-Mike talks about his work on Prep Baseball Report
-As always, much more!

Today on The Baseball Show, co-host Mike Rosenbaum of The Golden Sombrero and I go for about an hour and half about the following topics:

* Adam Dunn: Clint’s favorite player and the White Sox new 1B/DH

* A.J. Pierzynski, Paul Konerko, and the Chicago White Sox

* The great career of Andruw Jones and what could have been…

* Adrian Gonzalez; the newest member of the Boston Red Sox

* Mariano Rivera, Jonathan Papelbon, and the Oakland A’s development of closer. Discussion about how the closer is a ‘movable part’ on most teams much like in fantasy baseball.

* We weave in the always-rare Joe Borowski name drop

* Troy Tulowitzki’s ginormous contract – we approve.

* What kind of extension Joey Votto might command and more on the Cincinnati Reds

* Miguel Tejada and the San Francisco Giants cluttered infield

* Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera’s contracts

* Shot in the dark: Javier Vazquez, Dontrelle Willis

* We share memories of the legendary Ron Santo.

* Jon Miller and Joe Morgan are gone; we like the potential the new crew: Orel Hershiser, Bobby Valentine, and Dan Shulman

There is a ton more on this track. As always the digression is where you find the hidden gems.

Tonight on The Baseball Show, co-host Mike Rosenbaum of The Golden Sombrero and I talk a little pre-Thanksgiving Hot Stove.

We talk about a dozen different baseball topics, so if you’re preparing for that Thanksgiving trip and you’re in the mood to listen to some baseball talk about all things relevant (and some that might not be just yet) be sure to give us a listen to pass the time.

And give thanks this Thanksgiving to the things you’re thankful for. I know I’m thankful to have a co-host like Mike to work with who enjoys talking baseball as much as I do.

Today on The Baseball Show, co-host Mike Rosenbaum of The Golden Sombrero and I went strong for a little over an hour. Topics for discussion included but weren’t limited to:

-Thoughts on the Justin Upton trade rumors
-We skim through the free agent class and the moves that have taken place thus far around baseball
-Thoughts on the NL Rookie of the Year
-Thoughts on Felix Hernandez winning the AL Cy Young Award
-Final thoughts on the AL/NL MVP awards
