La Descarga Deportiva

For a good sports talk show which focuses heavily on local sports, I highly recommend La Descarga Deportiva--weeknights at 6pm on AM radio 670. Frequently the introductory banter between the regular callers and the hosts--Jerry del Castillo and Pepe Campos, El Decano de los Deportes and El Chamby, respectively--are enough to make me laugh. Unfortunately, while bilingual, it's mostly Spanish.

Here's a recent exchange I heard on the program:
Caller: I used to be down on the Marlins owner, Loria. But no more.
Host [Jerry del Castillo]: Glad to hear it.
Caller: I wish him a great 2009.
Host: [Suspiciously] Care to explain the shift?
Caller: I figure if he has a great year, the Marlins will trade him.
