Anyone catch this live??

I didn't know Lou Pinella was hispanic.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2006, 03:03 PM

Me either, I always figured he was Italian.

Spott · 10-14-2006, 03:06 PM

Lou Pinella is a racist cracka.

**HemiEd** · 10-14-2006, 03:10 PM

That was funny, he should have been given a raise.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2006, 03:13 PM

It drives me crazy to watch Haren just mow down the Tigers...you should be in a Cardinal uniform, you sonofabitch!!

He got fired for that???

He didn't say anything that was that bad

Al Bundy · 10-14-2006, 05:03 PM

bill, you are correct. People who aren't white say far worse things on a daily basis. Ohh well chalk this one up to Fox trying to get ahead of it. Lou Pinella makes the ALCS unwatchable. He is BY FAR the worst commentator on a major network, hell Fred White is 1000 times the announcer Lou Pinella is/was/ever will be.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2006, 05:04 PM

Pinella sounds mildly reeruned, IMO.

Pinella does suck..and so did Lyons..

Hopefully Pinella will slip up and say something Fox doesn't like..then he can get fired too..

And maybe Pinella would lose it on the air after the firing..and make Hamas's day

***Following the firing of Lou Pinella for the disembowelment of Thom Brennaman over an argument regarding balls and strikes, Fox announces that it will hire ChiefsPlanet poster " 'Hamas' Jenkins " as their new play by play announcer...

all games will now be broadcast on a 12 second delay.

He should have said something like this:

"Kill the white people; we gonna make them hurt; kill the white people; but buy my record first; ha, ha, ha";

Then he could have moved on to becoming a paid spokesperson for Wal Mart, Revlon...be given movie deals and so on.

We need to make sure that we continue to punish horrible people like Steve Lyons and make sure we do are best to help boost up the good people like Queen Latifah.

I'm surprised FOX fired him. After all, FOX's sister cable news channel employs an entire stable of insensitive bigots who make it a habit to talk out of their asses
