I'm offended that they're broadcasting baseball when House is supposed to be on. Does that mean they're all fired?

Steve Lyons was fun to follow with the Boston Red Sox during the mid-1980s when they lost tons of games and apparently didn't know what to do about the fact that Ronald Reagan still held office. Anyway, it was a fun time. I listend to WFNX and went to Boston Red Sox games at night in which they usually lost - despite the fact that Roger Clemens was now on the team and doing well.

Well, his nickname is "Psycho."
Besides, if Lou Piniella was really offended, he would've just turned around and beaten the crap out of Lyons. This is, after all, LOU PINIELLA we're talking about here.

I remember when Psycho was with the Red Sox in 1986 and he pulled a stunt that got him traded. Two outs in the ninth inning against the Brewers. Sox trailing 7-5 and rallying, two runs in already. Lyons was on second base and Wade Boggs (3-4 in the game) up. Mark Clear pitching, Clear was very erratic and was known to walk the ballpark. The Sox were sitting pretty, I just knew that Clear was going to blow this game. Lyons tried stealing third base (on his own) and was out by a mile to end the game. I heard the manager John McNamara went ballistic with Lyons after the game. Three weeks later he was traded to White Sox for Tom Seaver. Here's a link to the dropping the drawers incident.

I thought Piniella was an Italian name.

I can't believe he got fired for that,rediculous.
IMO, Fox was looking for an opportunity to get rid of him and figured this was their best chance.

Heard the entire exchange. This is utter bunk. Baloney. Road apples. Nonsense.
To: raccoonradio
Gee it was so "offensive" that even thought I watched that game I didn't remember it all.
To: raccoonradio
It's a bad joke.
They should've fired him for being unfunny if anything.
But I don't quite understand why they would fire him for anything else.
