You can talk a lot about Baseball: stretches, matchups, upcoming schedule. You can talk about who is killing it in the minors. What improvements need to be made. How are Dusty and other coaches doing. Problem is, most of the hosts don't want to make the effort. They give it lip service, but do nothing else.
It was either when RGIII was benched back in August last year, or Cousins was named the starter, I don't remember which, the Junkies opened the phone lines and no one called in. Literally. No one. I was shocked. Lurch got on an begged people to call in. Finally the typical dipwads called in with the same pointless RGIII got screwed, or everyone hates him, drivel. You never hear the other teams in this area get that kind of leeway. Give the Caps and Nats (lesser extent the Wizards, mostly because I despise the NBA) some due--get some people who know something about baseball on shows. Do so promotion. It's not hard. Problem is, most of the hosts in the area don't care--Cooley and Czabe, for example, are Jon Snow when it comes to baseball!
