We still do "The Atlanta Baseball Show" every Friday night at 7:00 pm ET on 680 the Fan in Atlanta. We hope to do more with 680 later this summer, but let them know you want to hear more Braves reports (404-231-1680). But in the afternoons (4-6 pm ET), you guys just need to listen to my show online. We talk more about the Hawks probably than EITHER of the Atlanta stations. Our focus is Braves, Hawks, Falcons, Bulldogs, and Yellow Jackets. We have plenty of open phone time (but on Friday we do football), so I always look for good Hawks talk! We have a 25,000-watt FM station that covers a 75-mile radius in Middle Georgia. I wish the Hawks would realize the importance of this coverage area. They get so hung up on getting people from inside the perimeter, when they need to realize that there are plenty of people in the state of Georgia who are not in the 404 area code who give a damn about this team too. The media relations department and the promotions department needs to realize this, especially with the number of fans we have call in to talk about the Hawks on a regular basis. Click here to listen live to my show on WIFN Sports Radio 105.5 the Fan in Macon!

We are going to have podcasts of our interviews soon, but it won't help right now.

Sorry some of you couldn't hear the interview. Was the streaming down, or was it a browser problem? And sorry to the guy in Deepstep who called. We were talking Braves and I wanted to wait for the next hour to talk about the Hawks so the show wouldn't be jumping around.

We'll have Steve on at 5:00 and take calls about the Hawks in the segment that follows.

We're trying to make that happen, but it's not available now as a podcast.

Couldn't help that being the topic on a day when he made himself look stupid - again.

I'm not going to talk with John Rocker, only about him. I don't want him on my show. So I'll probably get to the phone calls around 5:15 or so, but we'll have to go through them fast today since the plate is full.

BUMP We'll open up the phones in the 5:00 hour. I imagin you might have to compete with a little John Rocker talk, but if you can get through we will talk about the Hawks. One thing I'm going to rant about: The GM of this Hawks team doesn't talk to the media during the season. What the hell is that all about? I'll have more thoughts on the show.
