Baseball announcers I love to hate

One of them, Joe Morgan, has been let go by ESPN after 25 years of doing Sunday Night Baseball and irritating the hell out of baseball fans everywhere. There's a good summary of what baseball fans in general thought of Morgan over at Joe Posnanski's blog; the tl;dr is that he was a great player, unquestionably a Hall of Fame second baseman, but a ( Read more... )

I watched some WGN White Sox this year, and maybe it's because the Bitch Sox are the enemy, I cannot stand their guys... I think Dick and Bert are just peachy, but I may be seeing them through my Twins filter. Someone I really appreciate when I can hear him is Jim Kaat. The man has forgotten more about pitching than most announcers know.

I'm pretty sure it's not just you that has a problem with Hawk Harrelson, judging from the comments I see about him on somethingawful.com's baseball threads.

Dick and Bert are a good team, and while I never thought I would find myself saying so, I miss John Gordon, to say nothing of Herb Carneal. The Nationals' radio guys are kinda colorless.

Has anybody else gotten just about enough of Tim and Joe's Bromance with Marco Suctaro. My God, the man can play but if you have been even a casual baseball fan, you will admit that in every post season, there emerges a one trick pony. This year, at least thus far, is Scutaro. Lets see what happens in the fall classic.

I was fortunate enough not to have to listen to that, since I pretty much lost interest in the post-season after the Nats' horrible collapse in Game 5 of the NLDS. I may tune in the World Series on my radio and see who ESPN inflicts on us.
