GKR in GQ

2nd Best Team in Baseball, as per some dude who makes lists for 'em. (They also name the worst teams-- Dibble and Carpenter do figure somewhat prominently.)

And yes, Hawk Harrelson for the White Sox is the worst homer imaginable!

When Vin Scully dies I want them to just play his recorded voice over games. It'll be challenging but I'm sure they can program a computer that can find Scully moments that fit the action on the field at the time.

Agreed on the Giants team. If you ever get the chance, listen to their broadcast. Kuiper has the most impressive voice this side of Bob Murphy.

More importantly, Keith has been lately guesting in Mark Trail and is about to get his face punched in.

I would actually disagree if they slotted them in before him. I mean, it's Scully. Hearing his voice makes me feel ten years old.

The link is blocked by the security software on the PC I'm using. Where do they place the ESPN crew? Later

Thanks, Later

TOP 5: 5) Rojas/Gubicza, LAA 4) Orsillo/Remy, BOS (Can't take Remy. I'd imagine that quite a few outsiders feel the same way about Keith. But they're wrong.) 3) Kuiper/Krukow, SF (I kinda like these guys, too.) 2) GKR 1) Scully, LAD (Well, yeah... but no mention of his reliever?) BOTTOM 5: 5) Carpenter/Dibble, WAS (Well, yeah.) 4) Underwood/Manning, CLE 3) Staats/Kennedy, TB (Kennedy is terrible on Fox... I can only imagine how he is when he's allowed to graze.) 2) Brenneman/Brantley, CIN (Caught 'em a couple of times on EI; they are all over the f*cking place-- like a drunk, dumb GKR during a rout... but every game) 1) Harrelson/Stone, CWS (Braying homerism at its apotheosis)

Maybe they've upped their act, but in recent years listening to Arizona's crew was exactly like hanging out with drunken bully-boy unfunny-cutup jocks.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 13 2010 11:09 AM Re: GKR in GQ

A couple of years ago I noticed the San Diego crew as being especially bad. Don't remember who they were, and I don't know if they still have the same team, but they were awful. I'm also thumbs-down on the Florida and Washington guys. I seem to recall the Cincinnati guys not being too bad.

Edgy DC Jul 13 2010 11:11 AM Re: GKR in GQ

San Diego, Florida, Washington. Yup, yup, yop.

The Mariners' crew are homer heavy. I like the Athletics' team. Plus it's always nice seeing that Ray Fosse is enjoying a post-playing days career.

DocTee Jul 13 2010 06:31 PM Re: GKR in GQ

Fosse's great. When the A's had Greg Papa working alongside him (not to mention Bill King on radio, RIP) they were even better.

You know, the fans should vote for the All-Star Game announcers too.
