Bleacher Seats

For the last official show of our senior project, Eben and Ben discuss the Yankees' long list of cripples and talk about why Lasting Milledge's first homerun wasn't the biggest story regarding the young superstar. We also analyze the two Opens, the French Open (all four predictions still alive!) and Michelle Wie in a US Open qualifier at nearby Canoe Brook. Finally, we wrap up the show with predictions for the rest of the summer. Thanks to everyone for listening--hopefully we'll continue soon!http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/June5.mp3

With the World Cup looming just days away, we analyze the world's most popular tournament group by group and give our predictions. Why would Ben and Eben utter the word "ursprache"? We break down the Scripps National Spelling Bee, of course! The Yankees suffer another freak injury before they lose a heartbreaker to the Tigers. Finally, Pete Thamel of the New York Times joins us for 10 Good Minutes to discuss the growing corruption in NCAA athletics and "fake" prep schools.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/June2.mp3

Eben witnesses a classic pitcher's duel at Shea, while Ben watches Mike Mussina dominate the Tigers from his couch in New Jersey. The highlight of the show is our self-made NHL quiz to see who knows more (or less) about the league we never mention. We also discuss the "punk" prep quarterback Jimmy Clausen, apologize to the NBA, and give our predictions for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/June1.mp3

Lastings Milledge impresses in his Shea debut, while Alay Soler disappoints in his second start. The Yankees win an extra inning game behind a strong performance behind Mariano Rivera. We discuss the NBA Western Conference Final, Danny Almonte, Barbaro (again!) the French Open, and Roger Clemens. Finally, Jim Carty of the Ann Arbor News joins us for 15 Good Minutes to break down the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in Detroit.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/May31.mp3

Memorial Day Weekend gave boosts to the resilient Mets and veteran Yankees and we break down the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. We also play "pepper," a game of quick hits and discuss UVA lacrosse, the French Open, Barry Bonds' 715th homer, Ricky Williams, and Ben's boy Braxton Bilbrey. Finally, Will Leitch, creator of the super-popular sports blog deadspin.com, joins us for 15 Good Minutes to discuss Chris Berman, Barbaro, and everything in between.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/May30.mp3

We wrap up the Subway Series and analyze both local teams' upcoming series: the Yankees travel to Boston to play their rivals, the Red Sox, and the Mets partake in an attractive NL East matchup with the surging Phillies. We laud the Dallas-San Antonio series, especially Game 7, and make our NBA Finals predictions. Finally, New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro joins us for 15 Good Minutes discussing local baseball.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/May24.mp3

We preview the upcoming Subway Series, pitting the local rivals Yankees and Mets against each other. The discussion includes a debate of the merits of interleague play and a lengthy analysis of the pitching rotations and matchups. Finally, we conclude the show with our own predictions and the first annual Bleacher Seats Subway Series on-air wager.http://www.geocities.com/bleacherseatsradio/bleacherseatsmay19.mp3

Today's show discusses the problems of the Yankees and the triumphs of the Mets. We break down the NBA playoff series, especially Nets-Heat. In addition, we debate Barry Bonds and his credibility.
