All Hail the Baseball Tonight/Eric Young Drinking Game

ESPN is still struggling to fill the hole left by Harold Reynolds, whose on-screen presence was somehow magnetic, and whose off-screen trouble eventually got him the boot.

Well, ESPN has tried to replace Reynolds with a variety of former players, including Tino Martinez (horrible) and Orestes Destrada (slightly less horrible). The newest edition? Eric Young, who is so bad he inspired The Juice Blog to come up with a drinking game:

I have figured out a way to make Eric Young nights somewhat fun. Next time EY is on, listen to how he starts almost every sentence with "I tell you what." It really is amazing that a professional broadcaster could continue to do this 2 months into his career. To make the most of this inarticulate style, ESPN needs to promote the Baseball Tonight Drinking Game. Every time that Eric Young says "I tell you what" it's time to do a shot.

Maybe Jagermeister and Red Bull could sponsor the promotion? Actually, the show would really be fun, if everyone on set would drink as well. I could see John Kruk high-fiving EY everytime he says it, as you know he must be able to slam it down. A few jager-bombs and I bet Tim Kurjian would really loosen up. I have to guess that if you go by the first name of Buster (Olney), you might not be Frank the Tank, but you have to be able to hold your own. Have Steve Phillips bartend, as he would look good flipping drinks like he was in Cocktail.

This has loads of potential. I'll tell you what -- I'm calling friends and telling them to bring over the Jager. Let's do this.
