How can I listen to CT?

Am I listening to the right station? Some guy's talking about LeBron James.

It's some syndicated general sports show until CT comes on.
Probably 5-10 minutes or so.
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
Who needs LeBron James? We just signed Dorell Wright.

Whoa, just tuned in.
Why is CT yelling?
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
And why is this caller angry?

Cust vs. Matsui
Cust .288/.395/.409 (.804)
Matsui .251/.335/.401 (.736)
Cust isn't the problem. Runs above average per Fangraphs (Batting + Fielding + Position)
C Suzuki +1
1B Barton +4
2B Rosales +5
SS Pennington +7
3B Kouzmanoff +4
LF Davis -10
CF Crisp +5
RF Sweeney -7
DH Cust +2
The biggest problems were Davis and Sweeney and the fact that no one is particularly great and the bench has played a lot and sucked

I think the A's should seriously look into sitting out Sweeney for the second half and doing the surgery early so he has extra time to recover for next year.
It’s not doing any good running him out there in a lost season. And since a large part of value is tied to his defense (which is dependent on his knees) possible permanent damage to his knees could render him a useless player in the future.

Because they're assuming LF/RF typical power hitter position.
Get Jackson in LF and Raj in Center, it sucks less than it looks.
Sweeney is unsolvable.

Also, I don't think that Rajai is as horrible as the stats say.
Given that it graphs on position, where LF average is typically power numbers in this era.
These A’s aren’t built for power.

I mean consistently playing.
Anyone who paid attention last year knows that Rajai has to be stretched out and playing daily to get into a hot streak.
Putting him in a platoon/bench role makes him suck ass.
