Jody Gerut calls television "The Glass Toilet"

XX Sports Radio: Jody Gerut Interview (MP3)

  • Playing at Bailout Ballpark is like walking the strip in Vegas.  It's very colorful, loud, big and guady.  No mention if it smells like puke.
  • The Mets may need to rely on pitching and defense because the ballpark plays huge and may shrink power numbers.
  • Ball players need to adjust their game depending on which ballpark they play in.
  • Gerut as a hitter would prefer to play in a bandbox like Cincinnati.
  • Gerut's cell phone battery died because he had so many messages after he hit the first home run in Bailout Ballpark.
  • Gerut saw Anthony Michael Hall, Geoffrey Rush and five character actors that were in Law and Order.  Gerut got hooked on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit BIG TIME!
  • Gerut calls television "The Glass Toilet" because all you see is crap and it makes you sit for long periods of time passively.
  • He has a lot of respect for Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier.  It's a major part of U.S. history in the 20th century.
  • Hat tip to Darren Smith and Coach John Kentera

If television is a toilet

then the internet might be leaking sewer pipes.

I feel like the toilet might be a limitation for this scenario

Let’s really open it up.

Bailout Park

The walls are high in a bunch of places which will result in fewer HRs, but they’ll still be doubles. And all that space out there will turn more doubles into triples, singles into doubles and let guys take an extra base a few more times a year. I don’t think it’ll be much more of a pitcher’s park than Shea was, but it will have less HRs for sure.

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.

that will help the mutts, as they are a very fast team.

Whoda thunk that Gerut would be good

for a plethora of snippets of colorful verbiage for quotes?

The whole communism thing was my tip-off.

I love how he and Heat “The Cartographer” Bell don’t approach interviews like Crash Davis and Adrian.
