I'M COOCOO FOR COCO CRISP!
Oh come on, McCarver was suicidal when he realized his beloved masturbatory idol Derek Jeter wasn't going to be able to save the day in 2004.
You can play drinking games on Fox telecasts based around how much ball washing McCarver does with regards to Captain Intangibles.
"Derek Jeter has such calm eyes."

I'll admit he probably wishes New York would legalize gay marriage so he could make it official with Jeter, but it's not like they don't fall all over Papi either.
Actually, now that I realize it, it's probably just Fox sensationalism and fawning over the "big thing." That's what fox does best!

And now for more great quotes...
"Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple."
"A-Rod at the plate, K-Rod on the mound. I guess you can call this match-up
Rod-Rod..."
"One thing about ground balls. They don't go out of the ball park."
Well, when Pedro becomes tired, the Red Sox coaches have 2 options, leave Pedro in, or take him out and go to the bullpen.
And of course, "Brandon Arroyo and Pedro Martinez will start Game 2."

A Yankee fan complaining about McCarver biases? That's just too much.

I see no mention of McCarver hamming up Pedro Martines's "unusually long fingers" 3-4 times a broadcast. The sad thing is when he was a Met announcer he was the best in the business . . . it was Ralph Kiner who was a trip to listen to, though. Some of you may not remember when he was a regular Met announcer in late 80s, but I'll never forget!
http://www.geocities.com/baseball_humor/kinersims.html
"Hello everybody, Welcome to Kiner's Korner, I'm Ron Kiner."
"Hello everybody, Welcome to Kiner's Korner, I'm Ralph Korner
"Hello, everybody. Welcome to Kiner's Corner. This is....uh. I'm...uh"
"If Casey Stengel were alive today, he'd be spinning in his grave."
"The hall of fame ceremonies are on the thirty-first and thirty-second of July."
"Darryl Strawberry has been voted to the Hall of Fame five years in a row."
"Kevin McReynolds stops at third and he scores."
"All of Rick Aguilera's saves have come in relief appearances."
"The Pirates won 8 of their 102 losses against the Mets last year."
"All the Met wins on the road against Los Angeles this year have come at Dodger stadium."
"It's Mother's Day today at Shea, so to all you Mothers out there, Happy Birthday."

I couldn't care less where their "allegiance" is, having to listen to McCarver make mountains out of molehills and generally run his mouth off like an idiot for a solid month of post-season baseball nearly takes all the joy out of watching it. I also don't see how anyone can defend the babbling idiot, except for that in the far distant past he may have been a good announcer. Joe Buck always sounds bored out of his mind and Tim McCarver sounds like a raving loon. Fox needs some new announcers, now.
Wait-TBS will start to air division playoff series games next season? Those being soley games that the Braves are involved in,right?
Because they had better not have those hometown Braves annoucers calling other team games come playoff time. Its already bad enough that I have to mute those two Brave boadcasting clowns during the regular season. They have way too much pent up bitterness towards the Mets when they call regular season games.

Btw-McCarver has nothing over Fran Healy when it comes to annoying. My ears still burn when I hear "can of corn,frozen rope,and they'll be rockin' at Shea.!"
For any of you that have never heard him do a game - imagine a goofy looking guy in a Bullwinkle like voice laughing and spitting out those awful lines every chance he gets.
:lol
Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen are so much better.

As far as announcers I like: Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow do a good job for the Giants, though most A's fans around here hate them. They generally provide a lot of good insight and know what they're talking about, since they were both players. Ray Fosse on the A's broadcasts does a great job too, and manages to remain objective despite wanting the A's to win every game. Glenn Kuiper (Duane's brother), on the other hand, sounds like a moron, but a nice guy.

GRAB SOME PINE, MEAT.
I found an old baseball tape from 1989-Mets vs. Giants. Mike Krukow Was pitching,talk about a weird looking slinky type shape he had.:lol
Also-his delivery was off the wall He would rear his arm back(not using much of his lower body) and suddenly jolt it forward before releasing the ball. He threw a ton of off speed junk but he knew how to keep hitters off balance.
And yeah-he and Kuiper are pretty damn good. I love the way Kuiper calls homeruns. He's like the Michael Buffer of baseball. "Outta here!!!"

You guys like Tom Brennamen? First time I heard him was in AllStar Baseball 2002(XBOX) I believe,along with Steve Lyons. Tom Brennamen has such a damn good tone for play calling,its cool to hear him call DiamondBack games whenever theyre on tv. He is abit of a homer at times but he will also gives great props to opposing teams too so its not too bad.

This makes me miss the greatest ASG intro ever ... the NBA's.
WRIGHT! BELTRAN! LoDI! The Mets Triple threat is in 'da house!
too bad no Reyes so he could steal 3 bases off Rogers in an inning.

EVIL SOLRAC IS BACK BABY!!!
Guys, the Nats have the worst hometown announcers...worse than the Yanks, Braves, McCarver combined. Check out the replay of their walkoff home run from last week. The color announcer yells out, "Get up! GET UP! GET UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! YES!!!!!!!!" as the ball sails out of the ballpark. And that last "get up" is death-throes-esque. Seriously, check these guys out. They're incredible.
