About Zino's top 10

It all started with the Padres and their losing ways... They inspired me to write a list of reasons why they stunk. I was laughing out loud writing it, yes I know I laugh at my own jokes, and thought it might be fun to share the list with others.
I love the Scott & BR show on XX1090 am, my kids and I listen to it every morning on the way to school, and so I thought the two of them reading it on their show would really be fun. I sent the list to Scott and Marty (morning show producer), and was surprised to quickly get a positive response from Scott. There was one catch though, he wanted me to do it on the air...
I can have a fairly thick accent, particularly early in the morning, but Scott really wanted me to do it, and so I did. It was apparently well received, although I think they liked the name zino more then the top 10 list, and so they wanted me to do it again and so I did...
I sent the 2nd radio bit to a few friends and they all wanted me to keep sending it to them. I created this blog to share the lists with them and all the Scott & BR fans.
Please jump in and comment, on the lists or anything you care about, I enjoy the feedback...

Top 10 reasons the Padres are not bringing up Chase Headley

I had a great time this morning on the show. Scott and BR were on, and Pratty did a god job with the sound effects. I missed when I brought up the Open thing, there was a joke behind it but I didn't pull the trigger soon enough... Anyway, here is the list...

Top 10 real reasons why Padres are not bringing up Chase Headley

10) He won’t fit in with the team, he doesn’t strike out enough

9) Marty has a thing for P-mac and doesn’t want to see him released

8) It might hurt Scott Hairston’s feelings

7) He reminds KT too much of Phil Nevin

6) They don’t want to hurt the attendance in Portland

5) They are waiting until after the divorce to see if John Mores can still afford him

4) Mayor Sanders heard that Headley supports Steve Francis

3) He is not a relief pitcher with an ERA above 5.00

2) They are waiting for the steroids to clear out of his body

And the number one reason the Padres are not bringing up Headley is….

1) Chase refuses to come up because he doesn’t want to get any more special hugs from Giles

Funny part is that when I am on the radio, it is difficult to really know how the bit really went. I just listened to this top 10 list and I think it's the best one I've done so far. Take a listen

Zino,

Keep up the good work, dude. Get that link on the Scott and BR web site so that more people will be able to find your site. I thought of four different ways to spell Zino before I got it right.
