Bert has recently been suspended another three games for his unfortunate use of the word, "fuck" twice during a pregame show he did not know was live. You can watch the clip below. The Star Tribune article mentions that he will not be fired, however, I think that the additional three games is too high. For a slip up that was an accident, there should be no penalty. There was no intentional harm done and besides, I would rather have my kids watch a man swear than see someone being shot, but I guess a kid who swears is worse than a kid who kills. As a side note, here are some other "off-color" commentary from Blyleven that I thought you may enjoy:

* In April 2002, Minneapolis City Council member Joe Biernat was indicted for accepting free plumbing work on his house in exchange for lucrative city contracts. The day after the indictment was made public, City Council President Paul Ostrow was a guest in the Twins' broadcast booth, explaining a plan for a new Twins stadium. At the end of the interview, Blyleven asked Ostrow "So do you know any good plumbers?" After an uncomfortable pause, Ostrow replied "I'm not going there."

* During a 2006 broadcast, a conversation with a guest morphed from George Brett to singing in the shower. Blyleven mentioned that he had showered with Brett, and the guest expressed surprise. Blyleven exclaimed "Well, there were other guys there! ... Although they did say not to bend over."

* During the same broadcast, Blyleven asked guest Ace Young (of American Idol fame) if he "got lucky" with show host Paula Abdul

* Later in the season, Blyleven and Bremer were discussing Pee Wee Herman when Blyleven remarked "I wouldn't want to be in a movie theater with him!"

* On August 15, 2006, the Twins were facing the Cleveland Indians. Shin-Soo Choo pinch hit in the ninth inning. When Bremer said Choo's full name, Blyleven responded by saying "Bless you."

* During the pregame show on September 3, 2006, Blyleven twice used the "f word" while he was live on air. Under the impression he was being taped, Blyleven wanted to retape a segment when he swore and quickly realized he was live. In the first inning of the game, he apologized. Blyleven was suspended by the network for five telecasts.

* Later in the same broadcast, the Twins were facing New York Yankees reliever Mike Myers. Blyleven introduced Myers and commented on his unorthodox submarine delivery by saying: "Myers at six-foot-three, but he throws like a midget."

Sorry about not posting the photos earlier, but I got them on my gallery now click the title or the link here. I got back on Monday night pretty late and needed to finish up some work. We hung around my friend's place on Monday for the most part, which was good because I really don't get to lounge around much on my vacations. Of course I paid for it by the lack of sleep on Monday night, but that's the fun of vacations. Overall, this was a fantastic trip, I highly recommend Los Angeles to anyone who has a chance to go, it is a unique experience.
