Anaheim Angels with Bill Plaschke

While much of the country is talking about the Yankees acquisition of A-Rod and the Red Sox coup with Curt, the Angels of Anaheim might be set to render irrelevant those accomplishments. The Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke joins us to break up the East Coast bias.
Adam Hyzdu, Part 3
Listen
Adam Hyzdu has tried and failed to make a Major League opening day roster... 14 times. Still, he hopes 15's the charm this spring. Though the Red Sox are loaded in the outfield, the recent announcement that right fielder Trot Nixon may be on the injured list well into May has the 32 year old Hyzdu hopeful he can stick with the team. Hyzdu graciously agreed to lug a recorder to Fort Myers, Florida, which is where we catch up with him on the verge of a doubleheader and a visit from his family.

That would probably damage the hard drive and besides, Bill is afraid of computers. In any case, he's not afraid of reading listener's mail no matter what form it takes.
Radical Rick's Race City
Listen
On a recent sunny Saturday afternoon, while countless full-sized cars crawled from mall to mall, half a dozen radio-controlled cars stayed indoors, tearing around a carpeted oval in Radical Rick's Race City in Swansea, Massachusetts. Bill Littlefield was on hand to get all the buzz.
