Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of our radio show using imagination, theater of the mind.

And we go to baseball and we circle back to a story we mentioned in a previous episode of the show.

What did you make of the pirates and one pirate in particular calling out Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley for not mincing his words

when discussing the state of Pirates baseball.

Should Major League Baseball do something about the Sad Sack Pittsburgh Baseball Club?

And how much trouble is Dennis Eckersley in for violating the bubble of trust.

We'll talk about that and more right now in our number three.

Walking the plank, you don't want to mess with the pirates.

You don't want to do that on the field you do, but maybe not off it.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler show as we are in the air everywhere,

one-on-one, as we provide you breathtaking audio, unless we don't.

Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast and unrealistic

powerful microphones of FSR emanating live.

From the tongue, the slip of the tongue, the Fox Sports Radio Studios secret location somewhere in the Northwoods.

Programming note coming up later this hour.

If you're with us for the full hour, we will have Ask Ban.

Your questions are answers.

One of the more popular things that we do during the week.

And if you would like to be part of that, you can send your question in right now on

Twitter.
