Time to put a muzzle on the Mad Dog

This week, I decided to take Wednesday off from my job {it was 108 degrees} in order to spend some time at home and be a couch potato for the day. Better still, I thought I would get a rare chance to listen to the dynamic duo of Mike and the Mad Dog on the FAN. Unfortunately, I got the complete opposite of what I wanted to see.
Chris "Mad Dog" Russo alone by himself.
Never did I ever expect to say the following words... I miss Mike Francesa.
Mike Francesa is there to hold the proverbial leash on the Mad Dog when he goes off on his usual tirades. He provides a balance that is more than healthy and makes them entertaining as a tandem.
With no one to control the Mad Dog, he was unleashed and out of control. And New York talk radio was on high alert.
First, he started off Monday by challenging the credibility of Brian Cashman. Russo did not believe Cashman when he said that the Abreu deal wouldn't have gone through without the inclusion of Cory Lidle. Isn't it funny that the Mad Dog would get so worked up over a trade involving a team he admittedly hates? It's more than a coincidence. On a May 13th show, the Mad Dog tore Cory Lidle a new one for ripping Bonds on the issue of steroids but having nothing to say on the subject when it came his former teammate Jason Giambi. Anyone that knows Chris Russo knows he is a huge fan of the SF Giants. He even vowed to confront Lidle face to face. Here is the link of the audioclip of the interview between the "Mad Dog" and Brian Cashman. http://wfan.com/homepage/local_audioclip_212181904.html
It would continue Wednesday in which I had to listen to the Mad Dog unleash a merciless verbal rant on Duaner Sanchez for leaving his hotel room at 2am for a bite to eat the night of the taxicab accident. Apparently, Russo needed a good topic to rant and rave about in order to weather the sports dryspell. Duaner Sanchez was spending time with his family who resides in Florida. Last time I checked, Duaner Sanchez dosen't have a pacifier in his mouth nor is he wearing a diaper. No matter if one goes out at 2 in the night or in the afternoon, the risk of an accident is still the same. You think Russo would have shown a little remorse and expressed some gratitude that Sanchez was still in one piece!!!
If the Mad Dog really wanted someone to verbally assault, he should have ripped the moron who crashed into the taxicab holding Sanchez who was drunk behind the wheel. Now that is a tirade I would have fully endorsed because I'm honestly fed up by the number of DWI accidents.
But like the moron behind the wheel, the Mad Dog wasn't in the right state of mind to be rational. So I finally changed the dial to PTI on ESPN.
Francesa needs to come back quickly with a leash and muzzle for the Mad Dog.
And a Pooper Scooper.
