Eric Byrnes Is A Media Whore
You know what I was thinking the other day? I just can't get enough of Eric Byrnes' wacky on-air personality. Well, apparently Fox was thinking the same thing. They've decided to place Byrnes in a Kayak in McCovery Cove with all the other yahoos during the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby:
Arizona Diamondback outfielder and MLB on FOX contributor Eric Byrnes may not have been selected to the National League All-Star roster this year but the Bay Area native is still heading to AT&T Park and may have the best seat in the house for all the festivities.I'll be honest that while I don't like Eric Byrnes' on-field play because he dives at any ball within ten yards of him whether it's easily catchable or he has no shot at it, I do like his baseball "analyst" personality. He really lightens up the atmosphere around Kevin Kennedy and that other tramp. That being said, I could think of nothing funnier than a home run flying over the right field wall and plunking Eric Byrnes right in his misshapen head. And I applaud Fox for creating that opportunity.
Byrnes joins FOX's All-Star Game broadcast team and will be stationed in a kayak in McCovey Cove during the game broadcast as he talks to fans and gives viewers the sights and sounds from outside one of baseball's most picturesque stadiums.

You're exactly right about Byrnes. I live in Phoenix and he's literally everywhere, but I think he's more of a breath of fresh air than most guys. We have Matt Williams, the ex-Giants, ex-D'backs player on our local station doing the games and he's a total stiff. I can't stand him. Byrnes seems comfortable in front of the camera and on the Mike. I remember one time he was on the Jim Rome radio show and before he said anything he was like "I've been released twice, traded four times, and played with six teams, I'm doing well." It's hilarious.
