He is awesome, and not on drugs during broadcasts unlike a certain Met

WTF Hernandez hasn't done drugs in 25 years... even if he was on drugs on the booth he's got a much better voice then Jerry "Terrible Voice" Remy

I omitted the Mets broadcast team. Darling and Hernandez are very knowledgeable and you gotta love Kiner.

Let the record show that I predicted this, the latest p!ssfest between metsguy and RSR almost an hour ago. Of course, it's not hard to do, but I'd have to say I nailed it.

Oh how much I love 13 years old getting into pissing contests :)

I like the Astros announcers, along with Milo Hamilton on the radio...

on ESPN, I like John Kruk, he's a pretty funny guy. :P

One thing that amazes me is why don't guys in the booth have computer with baseballreference.com open in front of them. It seems like it would be an easy step that they could take a 10 sec and check something before they speak.

His personality makes up for it. It is really no worse then a NY or Brooklyn accent

The third man in the Jays radio booth does that along with checking the out of town scores. It would help other broadcasts and it certainly couldn't hurt them.

If you haven't heard him at work - you've got a week of MLB Extra Innings free (lucky bastards in the States. Up here no MLB network + no free MLB Extra Innings = :mad: ) so get going and stop making excuses like the fact that he comes on too late if you're in the East...or don't and miss out on the greatest that ever was, is now, or ever will be. Period.

This is an excellent way to describe Vinny.

And a tool for analysts...
