Breaking his own record

Here’s what went down Wednesday on Gambo & Ash…

Strike the Record…Again…Mark Reynolds is in the baseball history books for all the wrong reasons once again following Tuesday’s three “K” hat-trick against the Giants. Reynolds trumped his 2008 record 205 punch outs and will certainly add to that dubious total with over a week of games to play. Reynolds doesn’t seem too concerned and neither are Gambo & Ash. The guys look at Reynolds’ other stats - a decent average with 40 homers and 100 RBI’s entering Wednesday’s game. Ash feels Reynolds defense has come around which people seem to overlook because of his huge strikeout total.

Georgia head football coach Mark Richt broke down the Bulldogs game Saturday against ASU and how his team is adjusting this season after losing several players from last years squad. UGA is 2-1 and currently ranked 17th in the country. Richt promises the Bulldogs will not overlook the Devils, even with a big home match-up against rival LSU next weekend.

Devils Went Down to Georgia…ASU will take on SEC power Georgia Saturday. The guys discussed why this isn’t just a big game for Dennis Erickson’s team, but for the Pac-10, in general. Gambo knows a win in Athens would be a good for Erickson and possible future recruits. Mark isn’t certain ASU is ready for primetime SEC-football, but knows a victory over the Bulldogs would be the Devils first “statement win” since ASU and Andrew Walter blew out Iowa a few years ago at Sun Devil Stadium.

Check’s in the Mail…Oregon head coach Chip Kelly put his money where his mouth is after a disgruntled Ducks’ fan who attended the Boise State loss earlier this year invoiced Kelly wanting his money back. No problem. Kelly sent a check for $439 to the upset supporter which arrived at the gentlemen’s house on Tuesday. The fan was so impressed he sent the un-cashed check back to Kelly, along with a thank you note. G&A were blown away by the story and think this random act of kindness will go along way with Oregon fans for the first-year head coach. The guys discussed what sporting event they attended and would love to get their money back after the outcome.

We caught up with Phoenix Coyotes President and Chief Operating Officer Doug Moss who discussed the state of the franchise beyond the 2009-10 season in Glendale and the home opener Saturday, October 10th against the LA Kings. Moss announced the club is scheduling a “White Out” for the home opener.

Arizona State Associate Athletic Director Don Bocchi previewed the Devils showdown with Georgia in Athens and everything else making headlines in Tempe. Bocchi knows the Devils have a very good chance of pulling off the upset over the nationally-ranked Bulldogs.

Our baseball insider Tim Kurkjian checked in for his weekly segment to discuss the Yankees return to the post-season, the Rockies closing in on the NL Wildcard spot, Mark Reynolds’ unique season, and what’s going on with Milton Bradley.

The Eyes of Texas Are Upon Thee…One-time folk-hero Tony Romo is getting some heat in Dallas. Legendary Cowboy Tony Dorsett ripped the Cowboys’ signal-caller questioning why anyone “has anointed Romo a great quarterback.” Owner Jerry Jones backed his quarterbacks lackluster, two interception, season-opening performance in Sunday’s loss to the Giants, but others haven’t been so kind-including Emmitt Smith. Ash has always thought Romo is extremely overrated. Gambo is certain of one thing-Tony Romo can’t win a big game if his life depended on it.
