Loose Cannons

Ok, I have been giving this show a chance and I really just can't seem to like it. What on earth is the Baseball Report? I have heard it several times now and I still don't know what I just listened to. I am definitely going back to local dude from 3-5. I tried to like it but I give up. Any thoughts out there on this show? Maybe you love it. Is it really even about sports?
 
I've never really been a fan of the Loose Cannons, even going back to the days of the old XTRA Sports 690 in San Diego. It just never really caught on with me. Pat O'Brien being on the show now makes it even less interesting to listen to. The affiliate here only plays one hour of the show and sometimes entirely preempts the show with regional talk shows.
 
The Baseball Report is just one more vehicle for them to engage in private jokes that the rest of us don't want to hear or can't understand unless we've been with the show from the beginning. It's bad programming.
 
I am glad I am not the only one that felt a little out of sorts with Baseball. Long time listener stuff can work, see Jim Rome, IF you mix in enough new material to keep the new listener tuned. After an hour with these dudes I feel like I have just listened to a Hollywood magazine show without the eye candy or any useful information whatsoever. Radio should not make you cringe as I do when they do that weak iheart radio schtick. Give us something else, please.
 
It's a bad sports show, originating from a bad sports town (Los Angeles) on a bad sports station (KLAC) that, solely because of cutbacks from Clear Channel, is syndicated on a bad sports network (Fox Sports Radio... er, "SuperStation KLAC").
 
One of the worse radio programs, sports or other format, that is on the radio. The trouble is that Petros and Money gives the Loose Canon a run for the money as the worse radio show on the air. Imagine having 7 straight hours of these tools on national radio with these two radio shows. These shows should be used an example of how not to do a radio show with broadcasting schools across the nation.

The baseball report started in during the baseball playoffs and it hasn't stopped since. And they repeat it several times a day. Since baseball is so dead from mid November to late February, they are desperate to fill it with any tripe they can find.
 
Looks like prayers have been answered, they just did a bit where Baseball was kidnapped and hopefully no one pays the ransom!!

Prayers will really be answered when both of those shows are canceled forever.
 
I haven't got the cleanest mouth in the room, but give me a break Loose Cannons. Can we get thru a Baseball Report without using Jesus, Christ or bleeps where the F-bomb would be? Yesterday's was just off the chart.

When is this farce of a segment going to end?
 
I can't believe my ears with this drivel, Baseball is beyond stupid today and what do they do? Play it twice. Why do I listen you say? I have my HD radio positioned and tuned perfectly for other shows and don't want to mess with it.

They repeat the "Baseball" segment at least 3 times per show including twice when introducing the newest "Baseball" segment.
 
They did two days in a row of someone doing an interview from Jay Glazers phone, I can't believe someone green lights total shinola as that. It was just grating and pathetic.
