Last Backyard Radio show

            During our last show on March 22nd, the very first topic we covered was about San Francisco Giants Catcher/First Basemen Buster Posey. The argument of which position he should play more of this season was the topic of our discussion. Steven, Jeff and I believed that Buster Posey was very valuable in both areas of the game but overall we chose that he play more at the catcher position. We also had Steven’s brother in law Joe actually call in and discuss this topic with us, giving us his opinion of the subject. Joe countered our argument by suggesting that Buster Posey play more in the first basemen position, which definitely began an interesting conversation between the four of us. Steven thought it would be a good idea to analyze some of the past games during last year’s world series to which the giants won. When looking back at those games it was notice that Buster Posey was very reliable with his play calling and was a huge factor in why the giants won the series. After bringing this point up to Joe, he eventually changed his opinion to believing that having Posey as the catcher, game caller, would be very beneficial to the giants.
            Also, considering that the NCAA tournaments were underway, our next topic was about the letdowns in men college basketball. Steven asked a very interesting question that got Jeff’s attention and mine. The question of rather let downs were a good thing or bad thing in college sports was asked by Steven. We all came to the conclusion that let down in college basketball was a great thing. Let downs make the tournament more fun and interesting. It is great to see the underdog snatch a victory over the team that was supposed to win.  In addition, during breaks we made sure to play nice selection of Friday night hip-hop music music.
Things to look forward to next show
This week coming up, we will be talking about the newest events in sports and the hip-hop music industry. We are also hoping to have another special listener call in to join our conversation.
