By now everyone knows I created a show on BlogTalkRadio.com called "A Show of Their Own." My co-host Bernadette and I have been doing the show for a year now and sadly the show was cancelled.

Bern and I have been dealing with a lot of behind-the-scenes drama. Most people already know what went on just by listening to the show, reading our blogs, and some past guest even received emails, which I find really disappointing.

If you don't know what went down, I guess I could say egos got in the way of the show. Even though people want to place blame on others, ultimately it comes down to our egos and the fact that we were unwilling to get past the drama.

I'm sorry to bring personal issues to a baseball blog, but I had to get this out in the open because I feel I've come out looking like the bad guy when I simply tried to remove myself from the situation (and just not get involved) since I was being placed in the middle of everything.

I had ties to both sides and it really saddens me that things turned out the way they did because I enjoyed the show and it was something I was very proud of. It was an ugly divorce to say the least. I guess this is business though and I need to get used to disappointment now rather than getting hurt worse later on.

FINAL WHISPER: I can honestly say two great things came out of all of this... 1. I have enough material to create an air check to send to actual stations when I graduate from college with my BS in Broadcast Journalism... and  2. Now that the show is over, I'll have more time to dedicate to this blog!

Baseball Nerdish as Always (but a little disappointed and sad),

I know we joke around a lot on this show, we try to keep things as light as possible, but now comes the serious portion of the show.

I cannot believe this show has taken off the way it has. We have some of the best listeners two girls could ask for. Our guests are always awesome and Bern and Kary have also been great at getting this show off and running.

You may all have noticed that the show was a bit different tonight. Bern was lead the show. This show has meant the world to me this last year, and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

That being said, April 5^th will be my last day as host of A Show of Their Own. I'll have more details for all of you on our April 5^th show, but I just want to take this time to thank all of you for listening and encouraging us throughout our first year on air.

Pitching has been the main topic this off season for the Yankees, and for good reason... Well, pitching and A-Rod, but that's a given. So, what will I blog about today... A-Rod or Pitching?

I'm sick of writing about A-Rod, that blogging ship has sailed for the time being... So, lets move on to the pitchers.

There is no denying the fact that I love me some Phil Hughes... read this blog, listen to my show, its pretty evident. Anyway... Phil Hughes has been cut and optioned to minor league spring training with the SWB Yankees. Am I mad about this move? You would think so since I'm Pro-Hughes, but I'm not...

In the picture above... Phil is what Tyra would call FIERCE

So, the 50^th episode of A Show of Their Own aired this past Sunday. It was probably the worst show for me. Bern did great, but my internet connection was not cooperating with me at all and I think I was on the show for a grand total of 5 minutes.

I love doing the show, but sometimes I wonder if its all worth it. I don't get paid for the show and I put a lot of work into it and feel like I get nothing in return. Sure, we've interviewed a lot of great people and I met Bill, the most awesome guy ever, through my show, so that's all positive, but the behind-the-scenes stuff just sucks right now. Maybe I'm burned out or something, I don't know, but at this point I wonder if all this stuff is worth my time and effort. The Yankees really should at least give me and Bern season tickets or something for all we do (just my humble suggestion though).

Anyway... lets get back to baseball.

So, Alex is nursing his hip and is said to be ahead of schedule. I love Alex, seriously... I want him to be the best person (not just player) that he can be. I feel like I need to go visit Alex and set him straight... I think I could give him better advice than the team of folks he has advising him now!

Have you guys seen the latest picture of Alex? Bless his heart, he's kissing himself in a mirror! ALEX, what are you doing buddy? I thought this rehab stint would help him get out of the public eye for a little bit, which would be the best thing for him at this point, but he goes out of his way to find the media. I guess its whatever floats your boat, but Alex, you can't be serious... kissing yourself in a mirror?

Bernie Williams has been accused of slapping a woman in a Puerto Rican night club. Ok, I don't know the truth here, but it's my prerogative to believe Bernie is innocent on this one. I just can't believe the mild mannered, soulful, Bernie Williams is a woman beater... just doest make sense to me. So, maybe I have an unhealthy relationship with Yankees players... but I refuse to believe someone I looked up to for the better part of my life could turn out to be some troll. I could be wrong, but I'm praying that I'm not.

Brett Gardner is quickly becoming my favorite player. This guy has heart and its fun to watch him develop. As soon as he learns that he doesn't need this big majestic homerun swing and starts putting the ball on the ground, he'll be swell... So, Melky has him beat on arm strength, but Brett has more heart than Melky at the moment... plus Brett's faster, which is something the Yankees need now because like it or not the game is changing and at some point they are going to have to learn to manufacture runs and not rely on the homeruns.

So, that's my little spill for now.

FINAL WHISPER: I can't wait for the actual season to start...
