Posted October 16, 200321 yr He has to start bringing up if the Marlins were to fall apart next year like the Angels. What the hell is wrong with him? Another example of why WQAM sucks!
October 16, 200321 yr Author lol if u hate it stop listening to it. I was tunig in because I wanted an update on ticket sales and to see if they had announced the starters. Now I want to hear what people tell him. First caller: "WHO CARES!"
October 16, 200321 yr The majority of the people at WQAM are horrible...It's a Horrible flagship station...Can't wait 'til we move to 610 WIOD.
October 16, 200321 yr Author The majority of the people at WQAM are horrible...It's a Horrible flagship station...Can't wait 'til we move to 610 WIOD. amen to that.
October 16, 200321 yr Author WQAM is renewing it's license in January 2004. If you have any comments on how WQAM does/doesn't serve the public interest, contact the FCC.
October 16, 200321 yr Cape I think in part his point is well made.  If you heard the few callers before he went off on the Angels rant, two callers started on the "I'm worried about next year" stuff. His point was that you can't concentrate on what might happen next year. It's directed at the people who start to cry "the marlins will sell off a bunch of players again next year!"  - well the Angels DID keep almost all of their players from last year, and STILL couldn't repeat!  The point is you never know what will happen from year to year. People who say "yeah, but what about next year?" have no ability to enjoy the moment.
October 16, 200321 yr The Angels had no injuries last year, and were plagued with them this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they were successful next year again. The difference is the injuries. We saw injuries this year and people still stepped it up. We are more battle tested than they are.
October 16, 200321 yr this whole thing about hank goldblob at wqam brings up a very interesting question: should the guys on qam even be able to rip the marlins? i understand that sometimes you have to criticize the team if they aren't up to par, but goldblob is ripping them while they're in the WORLD SERIES. one thing is the guys at 610 ripping us, and while i never like hearing people talk bad about the fish, they're able to do it because they have no contract as marlins flagship, but qam sure does! all these guys do is time and time again rip on the fish and give the casual fans a bad impression of the guys, but then rip the fans when they dont show up. everything about talk radio and most of sports (hell, most of the things in life) is a hypocracy. next winter, i sure hope 610 saves us fans from qam
October 16, 200321 yr Angels prob-injuries Hopefully the marlins wont give away alot of ppl. and we can have most of the team here next year and then we can do what the angels couldn't do and that is go to the WS the next yr after also.
October 16, 200321 yr Author FishFry, 610 is a newsradio, they don't rip any of the teams. In fact they are constantly promoting the Marlins like on opening day, they put a news reminder that the game vs. the Phillies started at 4 pm at PPS. 940 really doesn't rip the team. what I don't see is why he must bring it up now, instead of in the offseason or next season and why he doesn't say all the facts on the Angels situation.
October 16, 200321 yr capefish, my point was if that any radio station other than qam were to rip the marlins, i wouldn't like it, but its their right to. but qam has a contract w/ the fish. i never meant to say 610 rips the fish on the goldblob situation, he is an idiot, and youre absolutely right
October 16, 200321 yr I think the Hammer is OK. He cuts/insult every bandwagon fan that ask the question "are they gonna be here next year?".  I gurantee you, he has been eating crow all year. since his critique of David Sampson 91 games prediction. And he has accepted that he is wrong. The way I see it, is that there is hope for baseball in SF. if we were able to turn around Berardino and Hank, the fan base is there for grabs.
October 16, 200321 yr what I don't see is why he must bring it up now, instead of in the offseason or next season and why he doesn't say all the facts on the Angels situation. read my post. I just told you why he brought it up. Fat Hank has been a very big proponent lately of not asking "what about next year!". Of just enjoying this ride. Hank Fatberg gets no love from me, since he basically talks football & nothing else, but in this case I didn't see a problem.

I don't think anyone is thinking of that at the moment, everyone is enjoying the moment. Why ruin the aura with a comment that is not needed?
October 16, 200321 yr Cape there certainly ARE people who think that way!! i hear their dumb asses on the radio all the time! if you've lived in this town for any extended period of time you know how negative they are. heck, dolphins fans are the same way. we may not agree, and it may be pointless and stupid, but like i just said, a few callers IN A ROW started with all that crap, & that was the reason for his rant about living for the moment because even if the team does stay together, there's no telling when a team could make it here again.
October 16, 200321 yr Author I can't stand sportstalk radio, can't wait til 2005 when we can get on WIOD and be on a newsradio that would give the facts not dumb talk.
October 17, 200321 yr I plan to start worrying about what's going to happen NEXT YEAR, right after the world series is over. In the meantime, if you're a Marlins fan, why would you be anywhere else but in the moment? This is the moment you do all the worrying and cheering for. Stay right here, right now. It doesn't happen that often.
October 17, 200321 yr Don't worry about next year yet. Enjoy what's happening now! Look at the Cubs for example. Be glad we're not like them, who haven't had a WS in ages. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!!
October 17, 200321 yr dont worry about Hank G.-hes just on the radio bc he knows about football but he knows nothing about baseball.-if u hate him don't listen to him than.
