December 3, 200421 yr link: "Chargers let Nantz get annual S.D. fix " The first finalist for the Padres' radio job is Jon Sciambi of the Florida Marlins. Sciambi is scheduled to interview at the beginning of next week and work the 10 a.m.-to-noon shift Tuesday on XPRS-AM, The Mighty 1090.
December 3, 200421 yr He's been trying to get out of town for years. Colorado (sheesh), the Mets. He's not exactly the Marlins biggest fan.
December 3, 200421 yr Author It's not that he wants to leave, it's that he wants a lead job. Right now he's stuck behind Dave Van Horne only doing three innings a game, and the pre and post game shows. Can't blame him for wanting a lead radio job. Hopefully the Marlins will give it to him and move DVH to tv since he's blind.
December 3, 200421 yr He's been trying to get out of town for years. Colorado (sheesh), the Mets. He's not exactly the Marlins biggest fan. 625976[/snapback] more like, he is not a fan of some of the management.
December 3, 200421 yr This isn't a big deal, Boog isn't that great...I understand the frustration over Len Kasper leaving, since I was upset by that too, but as for Boog, good riddance, I sure as hell won't miss him.
December 3, 200421 yr I like Boog and hope he stays..... Although I'm hoping to see Leiter in the broadcast booth for us in 2006. Not sure how they're gonna work that out since we have Tommy Hutton, but if Leiter is in the broadcast booth in 06, it means that he's on the mound for us in 05.
December 3, 200421 yr I expected this. Boog has been said to have been renewed by the Marlins, but the team hasn't said for sure he is returning.
December 3, 200421 yr DVH, T-Hutt, and Minervini are confirmed for 2005. I expect us to go shopping. Ross Porter anyone?

Dave is the better of the two and if Boog doesn't want to stay, then as I say, let the dog go loose. He has been rejected by Colorado, Oakland, the Mets, and the Cubs. Maybe the Padres will finally take him off our hands. Nothing worse than a broadcaster who doesn't appreciate his job.
December 3, 200421 yr Boog will get rejected. 626266[/snapback] The Padres and XPRS-AM are "mighty" (no pun intended) a looking for someone to replace Coleman who has called games (check), done pre- and post-game shows (check), done NHL hockey (check-Panthers on WQAM), done a sports talk show (check-Boog Show on WQAM)....The Mighty 1090 is on his radar, as he is on their's...issues are not that big. Bottom Line: EXPECT BOOG TO LEAVE....but if he doesn't, expect him to try again next chance he gets.
December 4, 200421 yr Although there is no front-runner, Marlins radio announcer Jon Sciambi is expected to receive consideration for the team's vacant TV play-by-play job. The deadline to submit tapes is next Friday. Marlins TV or Pads Radio/Sportstalk Show? Which will he choose?
December 4, 200421 yr Bye. 626559[/snapback] That's what I am thinking. Option 1: Marlins TV Option 2: Padres Radio and Mighty 1090 Daily Radio Show.
December 4, 200421 yr What does Boog look like, do I really want to see him on TV? 626565[/snapback] Boog............. Shrek http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:1vfy6S2V08IJ:www.cfar.umd.edu/~alizand/photogallery/Shrek.jpg Shrek-like ain't he? :plain
December 4, 200421 yr What does Boog look like, do I really want to see him on TV? 626565[/snapback] Shrek like ain't he? :plain 626569[/snapback] I.. think he should... stick to radio....
December 4, 200421 yr Minervini and Tommy in the the TV booth....DVH with some one else in the Radio booth. FSN gets a reporter to replace Minervini...everyone is happy. Ross Porter for radio anyone?

December 4, 200421 yr A RTBNL? Is that like TNSTAAGCM? 626579[/snapback] umm.....acronyms aren't my high points here....
December 4, 200421 yr RTBNL = reporter to be named later. TNSTAAGCM = there's no such thing as a good color man. Just messing with you, Cape. Who do you think would be the leading candidates to replace Jon? You've pointed out in the past it took awhile for DVH to warm up to Jon.
