My email I got from the WVNN mailing list. You make up your own mind:

"WVNN Loyal Listeners: I need your help.

After my ridiculous experience in the Orlando International Airport caused Pamela Furr to do 3 shows in 24 hours, I am back. I have come up with a GREAT April Fools' Day prank for the Tennessee Valley and in order to pull it off I will need the help of WVNN's loyal listeners. I will be hosting Pamela Furr's afternoon show today; the topic will be the impending relocation of Major League Baseball's Tampa Bay Rays to Huntsville. Now you will have to tune-in in order to get the details, but to sell it to the audience I have enlisted the help of some of the friends of "The Dale Jackson Show"

Sportsradio 730 The Ump's Seth Harp
Matt Murphy from The Big Talker 1070 WAPI in Birmingham, AL
Huntsville Stars General Manager Buck Rogers
Tom Francis From "Ray's Radio 1010" in Tampa, FL
AND most importantly I need YOU.

Your participation is the key ingredient in pulling this off. Call in to the show at 1-866-494-WVNN and express your opinion about this momentous event for Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. I thank you in advance for your help today and for being a WVNN loyal listener.

WOW.. As if my listening to that time slot wasn't enough of a waste of my life.

Hubcap said it all.

Perhaps I have a heart two sizes too small, but I did not find this funny. I didn't get the email, so I was in Slayer's shoes (believing it) and I found out this morning it was a joke.

I'm sure some think it was great. Personally, it wasn't my cup of tea. As Will alluded, I am increasingly questioning why I listen to local talk radio shows, and this simply turns that ? into ?!?

Good grief! That is stupid... I hate April Fools day. Plus that isn't even funny. At least other jokes like IGN's Zelda thing was kinda funny.

Baseball's boring anyway.

Amen. Only sport I know of where the defense controls the ball. Also the only popular American sport (that I can think of) that doesn't have a game clock. That combination := razor to my wrists boring.

Totally agreed. As a kid I enjoyed playing the game, not fun to watch though.

I actually enjoy watching golf on TV better than I do baseball.

"Don't blow this, Gene!"

Golf is a blistering bombardment of excitement compared to watching a pitcher decide when he'll be ready to throw the ball.

...he checks second
...he checks second
...he checks first
...the catcher is coming to the plate
...the manager is coming to the plate
...they're bringing in the bull pen
...he checks first...

Perhaps it should be like American football and the pitcher should back up 5 yards for every delay of game.

You should write some rules for the XLB

Yeah, and they should install trampolines around the bases, kinda like what Disavowed was talking about. That would be crazy!
