We had Smithereens frontman Pat Dinizio on good ol' Sports Bloggers Live this week as he's promoting his new ESPN special that debuts tonight, 7th Inning Stretch. The special is somewhat of a melding of music and baseball -- think Rock 'n' Jock, but for adults -- and features guys like David Wells and Ted Nugent. It's an hour-long show and we talked to him for 15 minutes about that and his incredible journey from being an unhealthy 340 pounds to taking Wells off the Monster at Fenway.

Hear the interview and win a set of CDs -- his new solo album and the soundtrack to the show -- by emailing dcsportsguy@aol.com with 'DiNizio' in the subject line. Oh, and DiNizio also says it's easier to hit a 90-mph fastball than it is to write a hit song. I've never had like with either. Discuss.

  It's too bad "The Who?" was sort of taken as a rock band name, because it would fit this guy to a T.
