Podcast Description
Join Earl and the Colonel as they talk about baseball and all things baseball-related. We're mostly on Sunday nights at 9PM EST, but sometimes we prefer to do a post-Happy Hour show on Friday nights because normally we're idiots. But after a few cocktails we're geniuses. Until we listen to the show the next day. Sigh. This Podcast was created using www.talkshoe.com

EPISODE42 - Top 20 Storylines for MLB in 2012 | This is a big moment for us here in the Cornfield. This is the first time that we can say the words "Our second annual blah blah blah" when referring to our show. That means we've been doing this for about a year now. Cool. So join Earl and the Colonel for our second annual Top 20 list of things to be excited about in the upcoming baseball season. It's gonna be a hoot and a half. | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE41 - Hot, young men pt. II | This time, Earl and the Colonel tackle, er, tickle, er, bathe with, er...discuss (that's it, discuss!) the talented young men of the National League. The top prospects for each team as well as some interesting talent that requires an eye like the Colonel's to find. So join us for this orgy of baseball delights. "Orgy" might have been the wrong word to use just then. | 2/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE40 - Hot, young men pt 1 | Whoa...wait a minute there. The "hot" in the title of this show should translate into "top prospect" or something of the ilk. You are going to have to go someplace else for that other particular topic. Or will you? Find out when Earl and the Colonel get down and dirty with the hot, young men of the American League farm system. It's gonna be a gay, old time! | 2/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE39 - Back to the business at hand | And in the case of THIS show, the business at hand is baseball. No more messing around. Pitchers and catchers report in three weeks, and there is a lot we need to catch up on. Prince Fielder with Miggy Cabrera in Detroit. All those offseason "challenge" trades. What do the Yankees do with AJ Burnett? What do the White Sox do with Adam Dunn? Is the answer to both questions a simple swap? And Jorge Posada officially retired. Where do Earl and the Colonel stand on his Hall of Fame chances? Join us in the Cornfield and find out! | 1/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE38 - A Mid-Winter's Ramble | You know the drill. Join Earl and the Colonel as they pine for baseball in this mid-winter episode in the Cornfield. We'll talk baseball (Yu Darvish, Prince Fielder), booze (maybe we'll just drink the booze), movies, television...basically anything that pops into our lizard brains. Everything except our feelings. That's something we hold onto for our bi-monthly group hug sessions. Those are SUCH a release! | 1/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE35 - Pujols, Braun, Hot Stove Edition | Wow. Just...wow. Albert Pujols leaves the green pastures of St. Louis for the greener ($) pastures of Los Angeles. Or Anaheim. Or wherever the Angels say they are from nowadays. And Ryan Braun reportedly failed a PED test in October. I've read more about grown men peeing in a cup over the past 24 hours for my own good. Lots of stuff going on. Some good, some bad...Earl and the Colonel will tap all those asses. Join us! | 12/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE34 - Jazz, man... | Jazz and Baseball. What do they have in common? Well, Ken Burns did PBS documentaries on both subjects. I watched one of them. Guess which one? Jazz is also famous for having a good deal of improv elements going on. And that's what tonight's episode is gonna be. Free-from, stream of consciousness, improv, jazz. Whatever you want to call it. Join Earl and the Colonel as they make sweet, sweet music together. Aww. | 12/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE33 - The Corny Awards | Film has the Oscars, TV the Emmys. Even sports fans have an award show on ESPN called, duh, the Espys. So Earl and the Colonel figured it was time for them to create an award show that celebrates, um, something. It's called the Cornys. If it's good enough for the film industry, it's good enough for crappy internet radio shows. Welcome to the Cornys! | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE28 - Where Do We Go From Here? | So it's the playoffs, and a wonderful time indeed. Well, not so much for Earl. The Yankees lost. But the Brewers won, so the Colonel is psyched. Or psycho. Same difference. Join us as we discuss the near future of the Yankees, Braves, Red Sox, Rays, Phillies and Diamondbacks. Because they all just missed out on the next round, ya know. Oh, and for a bonus, we are going to discuss the hottest film scenes of all time. Find out what gave a young Colonel a miniscule boner. I've been waiting six months to type those words.

Join Earl and the Colonel as they discuss this mucho importante time of the año. And maybe we'll discuss the idea of more playoffs as MLB will most likely be adding two more wild card teams next year. Or maybe we'll just discuss your mother. That's the enigma of the Cornfield.

EPISODE23 - Ramble in the Cornfield. | What's a ramble? Well, it's a kind of party, ya see. A free-form, no-limits kind of thang that generates its own life-force from the energy of nothing much at all. It's like an episode of Seinfeld that truly is about nothing at all. That's what Earl and the Colonel are going to attempt this week with the show. So join us as we tackle...nothing. | 8/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE20 - Deadline deals and contest winners | The traditional trade deadline is this Sunday, just shortly before the airing of the show.

EPISODE17 - We're baaaaaaack! | After a frustrating two-week hiatus for our fans, ahem, Earl and the Colonel are back for a special Thursday night edition of Just Talking to the Cornfield. Listen in as they talk about the inter-related histories of baseball and booze. A topic suggested by one of our listeners. It should be a hoot. Or a holler. Not sure what's the difference between those two things. Hmmm. | 7/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE16 - The Most Interesting Man in Baseball | He once pitched a perfect game while brokering a peace accord between warring nations.

EPISODE14 - There's no crying in baseball | Hey, kids! Baseball is a wonderful game. Filled with wonderful highs and tragic lows. This week, Earl and the Colonel are going to delve into some of the stories of ballplayers or teams that just didn't work out, for one reason or another. Bring a hankie or raise a glass, however you deal with grief. Me? I just turn my frown upside down. Standing on my head too long makes me pass out, and then it's all blissful nothingness.

EPISODE13 - Triskaidecawhatthefuck? | Hey kids, are you afraid of the number 13? Then be sure to check out the super duper special 13th episode of Just Talking to the Cornfield with Earl and the Colonel. That makes no sense whatsoever because we really aren't going to talk much about the number 13. Well maybe a little. If you want. Maybe we'll have 13 cocktails during the show. Or not. Where were we going with this? Oh yeah...baseball. Sometimes I get distracted 13 ways to sunshine. And I don't even know what that means! | 5/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE12 - Most Votto Player | If there were an award for Most Votto Player, Joey Votto of the Reds would most certainly win every year. And it's beginning to look like he is gonna be a strong contender for that other MVP award year in and year out. But is he the best player in baseball right now? Listen in as Earl and The Colonel discuss. Or don't and be the subject of ridicule to a very small but intense group of baseball nerds. You wouldn't like them when they get angry. | 5/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE11 - Baseball oddities | Hopefully we can get through this episode without any mention of oral pleasures. Unless you are into that kind of thing, and really...who isn't. Listen to Earl and The Colonel as they discuss the week that was in baseball. There may even be a special visit from one of The Colonel's children. Earl doesn't have any children. Something about court orders and other nonsense...I dunno. He does have several a*****e cats though. Meow! | 5/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE10 - Another Happy Hour episode | Because these are so much more fun when we are a bit stoopid. Earl and The Colonel will be discussing the film that inspired the name of this show, Field of Dreams. And exactly why it can turn grown men into blubbering idiots. Also, BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) is a fun advanced statistic. Mostly because if you try to pronounce the acronym, you sound silly. And while Derek Jeter sure is a pretty mother-f****r, is he done as a productive player? Oh, and our nominees for the Cornfield All-Stars from 2B will be discussed.

EPISODE9 - WAR, Good God....what is it good for? | Absolutely nothing! Say it again! This week, Earl and The Colonel discuss bacon-infused bourbon, advanced metrics like WAR (Wins Above Replacement), nominations for the Cornfield All-Star first basemen, a new feature called "Did you know?", and why Kirby Puckett may have been the worst all-time 1st ballot inductee into the Hall of Fame. He's dead now, by the way. So we'll feel even less guilty than usual when trashing his legacy. Not that it really would have stopped us. | 5/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

EPISODE7 - Week 2 recap | Earl and the Colonel will talk about the season-to-date and some of the recent headline stories in MLB. We'll also talk about some career goals for active major leaguers. Can Miggy Cabrera put down the bottle long enough to accumulate 3000 hits? For that matter, can Earl put down the bottle long enough to get through the show? It's gonna be a high-brow kind of scholarly debate that you all crave. Or a lot of dick and fart jokes. Either way, the winner is YOU! | 4/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
