I continue to be amazed by the guests who call in to our little podcast that could. Yesterday we interviewed my second favorite ballplayer of all time, Cal Ripken Jr.*, and today Astros 2B/CF/C/HOF Craig Biggio gave eight minutes of his time before warming up for tonight's NLCS Game 3. And before calling us, he did a PTI interview. PTI, then SBL. That makes my day.

The interview will be a part of Monday night's SBL, but you can hear the clip now and here's some of the ground we covered:

-- Why this year will be different for Houston.
-- Bagwell's HOF chances.
-- Bagwell's chances of pulling a Kirk Gibson this October.
-- Biggio's participation in a Coors Light Knighting Ceremony (really).
-- How Biggio changed his approach to hit a career-high 26 HR this year.
-- Why umpire Doug Eddings is public enemy #1 (and also a d-bag).
-- Comparing Mr. October 2005 Chris Burke to Biggio.
-- Being a Redskins fan (!).

I've no idea what that yellow thing is.

Special thanks to the following blogs who asked questions during the interview:

-- Plunk Biggio
-- The Juice Box
-- Baseball Musings

And, of course, many thanks to Biggio for giving us a call. He seems like a really good guy.
