I think you only fully appreciate how awful they are when you have to listen to them every day. Martinez gets really excited by every single fly ball (plus he's defiantly old school when it comes to pitch counts), and Tabler's description of how much he loves players and their "big, strong hands" often borders on pornographic.

You guys seem to be forgetting a few short years ago it was Campbell and Tabler. That might have been the most boring tandem in all of sports. Buck maybe out of it, but at least he has some emotion in his voice even if it's a routine fly ball.

I'm going to miss Wilner calling on the radio when Jerry comes back. He's by far the most knowledgeable guy on the SN staff about advanced stats n shit.

Shulman has the deep soothing voice of a manly angel.

And what are we trying to prove by keeping Estrada out there? Yes, let's kill his arm in June so that he's got nothing in the tank in August when it counts.

I think Gibbons doesn't have much in his bullpen he can or wants to use today.

Even though he was only in Toronto for a year, I thought Jack Morris was surprisingly good. He was prone to saying dumb stuff too -- Buck & Pat's stupidity is probably communicable -- but he provided better insight than either of them.

Alan Ashby was pretty good too. Not on TV often enough, but when he was, he outshone the whole rest of their team.

EDIT: Looking at the list of the Jays' announcers, I'm also reminded of how awful Fergie Olver was. He made Buck & Pat sound good. Also, Tony Kubek was probably the first baseball announcer I ever heard, so I'll always think of him as being one of the best.

The depressing thing here is you like the jays and weren't even around to see the good years. I was only 8 in 93, but both those series are burned into my brain so it keeps me going at least.

I came into the Jays in after the 2011 World Series, and my first true season as a Jays fan was 2012. We all know how that turned out.

I mean, I can hear about Alomar, Stieb, Halladay, the good players all the time. But aside from Delgado and Halladay, I haven't seen the true legends other then through osmosis. That's the thing about these modern Jays fans: they have nothing to hang their head on. If I was a Mariners fan born in the 90's, at least I'd have the 95 ALDS. But I'm a Jays fan, you have nothing except championships before I was even conceived.

Schultz DFA incoming after the game? That was a pretty garbage play.

I came into Jays fandom right at the perfect time: 1988. I missed their epic 1987 collapse, and I got to see the latter years of Dave Stieb being amazing (including being in attendance at his near-perfect game in 1989, not that I was old enough to appreciate it), plus the back-to-back World Series wins. It's been 20 years of mediocrity since, but at least there's something good behind it all.
