San Francisco Bay Area sports fans hate Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.
My question: why?
Buck is in love with himself, his voice, his persona, I get it, but
he's not as terrible
as most people make him out to be, or am I missing something? Oh, he's
got a
Cardinals bias, could that be the case? Haven't heard it from this
corner.
McCarver is what I like to say, "possesses the 'Dan Dierdorf'-
syndrome". He knows his stuff
and all, just doesn't know how and when to say it, and when he does
say it, it's quite
often.
You guys have opinions: go at it.

McCarver isn't far behind. He may be puzzled by it, but the fans are
not. Matter of fact, the latest set of tools on the radio broadcasts
are just as annoying. It's why some of us just turn down the TV and
listen to the local radio. Nobody and I mean nobody, beat Jon Miller
for Giants radio broadcasts and he's well above any of the national
radio broadcaster.

every year? The fact that we have to keep talking about them means that
'they won'. TMC, do you really need to dredge up this putrid old issue
and cross-post it? Can't you think of something else to discuss?

Dude, I hate the get off topic, but what the hell is you're problem w/

is at a "fever pitch" during a high profile event (where more people
are of course watching baseball than usual) like the World Series.

Solstice that the sun is at it's highest point in the northern
hemisphere: Been there / Done that. Or why the sun goes down every
night and rises each morning. Why do you think a dog gets excited
*every day* when it's owner comes home from work? It's more than likely
because the dog's limited intellectual capacity doesn't allow it to
recognize the same pattern that it sees each and every day. Each day it
reacts and goes ape-shit with happiness and surprise because it didn't
realize that their alpha-person will return. I think humans should be
more evolved than that and get tired of reacting to the same tired shit
each and every year.
The criticism is at a fever pitch now *obviously* because these two
idiots are all over our TV sets during the time of year when there are
national baseball telecasts. The point is: Is that even surprising
anymore? Of course it's at a fever pitch...because they are here, but
the issue is the *same*. Is it surprising that people load up on
emergency supplies right after a tornado or hurricane or earthquake?
No. Then, everyone forgets about it. It's predictable, mundane,
expected, boring, and anyone with an IQ above room temperature should be
tired of it by now.....nothing to see here...keep on moving....
Why don't you start a topic called, 'Why do men like naked women?' and
then post the shit out of it. That could keep you going all year.

Folks, PLEASE TRIM YOUR QUOTES!!! Even though I love Giants baseball, I
have skipped over most of this thread because I'm not going to scroll down
over dozens of lines of quoted material just to read new material.
Jeez...you Usenet folks are bright enough to know how to TRIM TRIM TRIM your
quoted material, aren't you?

As I live in Ohio, I can't get any "local" broadcasts. Used to be
able to get a Detriot station on the radio or internet before MLB
stopped allowing streaming over the internet by the local stations and
the clubs (mostly all of them) signed with low frequencey stations
that you are lucky to get in your own area. Last night, I was able to
pull in an ESPN radio station from somewhere in Illinois (go figure -
couldn't pull in the local ESPN stattion - also pulled in one from
Cincinnati which is nearly 300 miles from where I live) and was able
to listen to the game there. Dan Shulman and Orel Hershiser are 100
times better than Buck and McCarver. I know Hershiser may not be
popular in San Francisco because he was a long time Dodger, but he
does an excellent job as a color commentator on the broadcast. He was
really great explaining Fister and Baumgardner's pitching in Wednesday
nights' game. I wasn't even bothered by the few second delay between
TV and Radio. It was still better than having to listen to Buck and
McCarver.

That's because every square hertz of the radio spectrum is
taken up by political ads!
