You get used to following the puck pretty quickly, and then the "glowpuck" just gets to be annoying and distracting. Imagine if they made the baseball yellow or pink or something for baseball games...Originally Posted by dickay
I'm not a hockey fan so maybe that had something to do with it, but I actually liked the glowpuck. Keeping track of that **** puck during fast pace isn't always easy.

Don't mind the colour...just wish that they'd make the ball soccer-size, so that these old eyes could follow it...'twould mean a different game, altogether, for me.....

Also those ads on the walls, behind the batter, during the playoffs brings out the OCD in me.

There is no better announcer than Dave Niehaus and Kevin Calabro

Rick Rizz isn't too bad, but I hated Ron Fairly.
I don't care for Dave Sims either...
UGGGHHH! That grates on me. I wish WEEI would stop using it too. My god! That HAS to be one of the worst, most aggravating, annoying, irritating, groveling, borderline orgasmic, crazy, unneccessary, outbursts of all time. AAAArrrggghhhhhhhhh! I just want to ram wooden tent stakes into my eardrums to make it stop! Anything! Just NO MORE!!!!

I dont like either of them too. It seems like they really dont know much about the Mariners. I haven't watched the Mariners in some time so they could have gotten better. Blowers is alright because he gives out free fries. I actually won the fries once. Too bad the Mariners lost.
Niehaus and Calabro are great. Too bad the Team Formerly Know as The SuperSonics left. Maybe Calabro would join Niehaus in the booth. I always thought that the guys that do the Seahawks games on the radio were alright. Except for calling Matt Matthew.
Oh no, not him again
I know he's only on Baseball Tonight, but Eric Young's high pitched voice grates on me big time. Did 'roids shrink his balls or something? And that Souvenir City bit got old after about, oh, the first time he used it. WTF? I'd rather listen to 9 innings of Hawk Harrelson (no easy task, btw) than 5 minutes of this clown.

Were those the guys last night? They seemed likeable. And it was classy of the Mariners crowd to give local boy Lester an ovation as he walked off.
I do have to laugh at the mindset of the Sox crowd vs. the Mariners one. The Mariners ones were the ones laughing, on cel-phones, having a good time. The Defending World Champion Red Sox fans...you know, the ones who have a **** good chance of making the playoffs?....were the ones with the 2-0 lead and their arms crossed, sour looks on their faces, completly waiting for the other shoe to drop so they could throw up their arms in disgust

Who said that? I've never heard of that clip, nor do I know what WEEI is.
Can someone please explain?

I use mlb.tv, so I've heard the announcers for most teams' home broadcast. So far, Hawk Harrelson strikes me as one of the very worst. Most of the big network guys are terrible too. It's cliche to say so, but Joe Buck and Tim McCarver might be the worst overall team.

Oh, and I am certainly biased, but let me just say that Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling do an excellent job for the Mets. Really insightful commentary and entertaining broadcasting.
