1. Turn off the sound
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 08:37 PM by Oeditpus Rex
and listen to ESPN radio. Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

Much betta. :thumbsup:

Edit: In Seattle, KJR, 950 AM.

2. I was going to say the same thing
You won't find a much better announcing duo than Miller and Morgan.

8. I hear Miller all season
He does Giants games on weekdays. He's a lot funnier with them than ESPN will let him be. Does all his impersonations and stuff.

They've also got ex-players Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, so listening to Giants games is like sittin' around the clubhouse. Best broadcast team in baseball.

6. Ugh Miller and Morgan are fucking terrible when they cover anything Dodgers related
I vomit in my mouth whenever I hear Miller's voice.

On the other hand Joe Buck is amazingly worse.

Why can't Vin Scully cover every baseball game? :(

10. Vinny doesn't need to anymore
Dude's gotta be a brazillionaire by now.

9. Well, damn, I just tried it, and the radio broadcast is a full play
ahead of what's on TV. That makes me even crazier!

11. That much?
I get a two-second delay. I kinda like it because I don't have to give rapt attention to the teevee.

12. Yep. When I first turned the radio on, they were describing a pitch
Dice-K was making, and did follow-up remarks before the TV Dice-K even got set to throw the pitch I just heard about.

13. I get that with XM radio
It's about 15 seconds behind.

That was a major disappointment, because it means I can't simulcast. x(

15. The station that broadcasts the Mariners games, KOMO, is the
same way. I hate listening to some of the Fox broadcasters when the Mariners games are on that station, and would much rather listen to the Mariners broadcasters, but with the delay, it's just not possible.

5. Mute button is your friend.
I swear Tim McCarver is contractually obligated to repeat himself endlessly every broadcast.

14. I hate the bias. The best announcers don't show it. Joe Buck is obviously for
the Sox.

16. He was handing them the fucking trophy before the game even
started. I hate that kind of crap.

17. Okay, what about that call at second on Lofton?
I say he missed it.

18. Lofton missed, or they missed the call?

19. Missed the call
Looked like Lofton's hand hit the base before the tag hit his chest.

21. McCarver caught it. But not Buck.

22. I think they said that the 2b tagged the base before tagging Lofton
Seems like Lofton's snakebit tonight.

24. I dunno if he scores on that hit, though
It got out there pretty quick.

23. They suck, especially McCarver.
But the crew that was on TBS doing the Division Series was actually worse.
