ESPN covers this:

look about 1/3rd way down your screen in the center.

kuh-NO
GROOD-zeh-laan-ik

As for Troy Boy, I tend to pronounce it somewhere between GLOSS and "rhymes w/ house" (leaning more towards GLOSS)

wow, it's kind of horrible that cano isn't pronounced with a hard 'a'.

"kuh-NO"??

i just did the glaus/house thing in my head today, reading ilb, then corrected myself. it has been a long time since i've watched baseball tonight. :-( sober and alone, anyway. :-/

ESPN says "Gress-uh-Lawn-ick" which is weird.

RALPH KINER to thread!

I'm convinced Fran Healy calls the Mets' AAA team "Nor-fork" because some TV guy warned him against "nor-fuck."
