Because I Probably Can't Say This Over There

FUCK!!!!!!!!!

"MASN has named Rob Dibble as the new color commentator for the Washington Nationals. He will join play-by-play man Bob Carpenter in the booth beginning with the 2009 season under a multi-year contract with MASN."

  • Robert Fick wasn't available?

  • Yeah, this pretty well sucks. Dibble is a jackass, and I had actually grown to like Sutton.

  • I remember years ago, that a**hole Dibble was on ESPN radio and basically told Rob Neyer that he didn't know what he was talking about because "he never strapped it on and played in the bigs" or something asinine to that effect. Of course, Dibble, being the genius that he is, was able to comment on every other sport they decided to talk about on the radio, even without strapping it on. He is in the Shawn Salsbury mode of talking head, just be loud and people might think you know what you are talking about. Maybe he could supply some steroids to some of the younger guys on the team. WHAT A DICK!!!!! I apologize for the rant, but WHAT A DICK!!!!

  • Sure, Dibble has the IQ of a 14-day-old piece of bubble gum. So we're replacing a condescending, pompous, I-know-better-than-you Hall of Famer with a condescending, pompous, I-know-better-than-you journeyman. Maybe the hundreds of people who tune into Nats telecasts on MASN will be offended. Let's look at the bright side. It's the greatest rankings boost to Charlie and Dave on radio since ... well, since, MASN announced it was hiring Don Sutton.

  • This doesn't mean that Mike Bascik is going to try and revive his major league career, does it?

  • You thought maybe they were going to offer you the job, Chris?

    And you know, if Dibble's gonna start telling Carpenter that he doesn't know what he's talking about because "he never strapped it on and played in the bigs", now I'm watching!

  • Welcome back, Chris. You were missed. There is no other Nats blog like Capitol Punishment.

  • At least this move gets Dibble off of XM Radio (I hope). We can always shut the TV sound off and turn on Charley and Dave.

  • OhMiGahd, you're back! Excellent news!

    When I posted my disappointment on my blog, somebody expressed the horro better than I ever could: I know, can you imagine listening to this gibbering jackass for three hours every night? I guess the Nats figured they could risk alienating the nine people who actually watch the games if they could attract the ten people who apparently find this guy interesting. But you couple this hire with the lack of free agent signings and the season is shaping up as 102 losses while someone runs a belt sander across your brain.

    There oughta be a law ...    .

    This commenter, like me, cancelled his season tickets, and may go to two or three five-buck bleacher evenings. Although anybody can rub you the wrong way, and I sure disliked Sutton outta the gate, at least Sutton would describe some baseball strategy once in a while; Dibble is too busy showing what a macho asswipe he is to talk much baseball [well, he'll discuss the "headgames" a lot, while declining to talk about pich selection and location].

    It's good to know I can reestablish my link to Capitol Punishment. Please let your retirement stay . . . retired.

  • Dibble's main qualification: He was cheap.

  • Fuck, it's good to have you back.

  • It is very sad when the biggest news of the Nats hot stove league season is the signing of Rob Dibble. I suspect that management, once they had a feel for season ticket renewals (or lack thereof), decided not to spend any money. Welcome to Pittsburgh. I am afraid that is what we have.

  • Well, at least he's not pitching and I have an extra hour of Dibble free XM radio.

  • Great to have you back Chris. You may be the only thing standing between me and losing my fucking mind watching this catastrofuck(thanks, Jon Stewart!) team that is the Washington Nationals, only slightly less horrible than last year. Not to mention SBF's (continued) public handjobs that he doles out to Teddy & Co. for a job he thinks they are doing quite well. Of coruse, 20% of Americans thought Bush was a great president, but still...

    Also, fyi-your banner is missing.

  • Also-keep in mind that it could be worse everybody, we could be the Yankees...

  • I certainly hope the StanSpeak Translator has been trained on Ladson's latest interview....
