Least favourite baseball announcers

[metsguy234]

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.

Agreed.

morgan/mcarver,buck are the 3 worst guys.. i will NOT watch a game buck announces...

as far as guys I like... I have XM radio so i get every teams home announcers... Pitt's announcers were absolutely HYSTERICAL when I listened... They were just having so much fun and you could tell

[metsguy234]

Buck is good. I never had a problem with him. He is very knowledgeable and has a voice that doesn't make me shudder (like Tim McCarver's).

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.

I forgot why Raible said he called Hass, Matthew. But Raible is just as good as the other two main broadcasters (Niehaus and Calabro).

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

Can someone please explain?

When Clemens made his comeback last year, and first appeared in Steinbrenner's suite at Yankee Stadium, this awful 'reporter' named Suzy Waldman, who possesses a voice as pleasant as Fran Drescher's, went nuts, basically proclaiming it be be the greatest moment in the history of man's evolution. This same idiot started weeping on air when discussing what ended up being Joe Torre's farewell press conference. She's awful.

This commentary by Waldman is one of the true gifts to Red Sox fans world wide. Similar to the golden thong, sometimes god throws these little things which albeit annoying and grotesque, involve the yankees and are utterly embarrassing. Kind of like losing after being up 3-0, they sort of live in infamy.

Some of the posts in that YouTube thread were classic. How's this one fit;

mikeys12 (3 weeks ago) This is coming from a big time Yanks fan.
Hahahahahahaha what a dumb ***** does she realize how embarrassing this is to her and us?
God I cringe when I hear this I feel sorry for her at how stupid she sounds haha.
She acted like we were getting Cy Young or Walter Johnson hahaha guy went like 8-8 was a total waste..... WOW

Many Yankee fans attribute his 'clubhouse presence' to the Yankees playing .650 ball from then on out.

There is no better announcer than Dave Niehaus and Kevin Calabro

Christmas....who is this insane old man they have on the Mariners-Red Sox game now?

"Rays win tonights game 1-0"

"Yankee Captain Jason Varitek at the plate..."

that doesn't surprise me, considering how uneducated many yankee fans are. I suppose those who don't think it was clemens presence think it was the thong eh?

oh he is knowledgable... na dproud to show it... he makes my skin crawl.. he NEVER SHUTS UP...
a TV comentator/analyst is there to ADD to the game not TELL the game and never take a breath. I Hate him and with his vocal cords would break... I cans stand it

JUST LET ME WATCH THE D@MN GAME AND STOP COMENTING ON EVERYTHING!!!

It was like whtn Nomar was in Boston... EVERYTIME he came up to bat guys like mcarver/morgan/buck NEVER stopped talking about the stupid thing he did with his gloves and shies every pitch.. its bad enought i have to see it... now I have to have 2 guys talking about what im seeing and saying ever yime "and he steps out to adjust his gloves" Thanks captian f*cking obvious i haddnet noticed that he has gotten up 4 times in the game and ever time a pitch was thrown he stepped out and readjusted... Its the 9th inning.. tell me something else... like as batting average in the 9th inning or with a guy on or when he forgets to sip up his fly... just shut the heII up about useless stuff!!!

Buck is one of those guys that just get under my skin. I hate guys like john sterling and suzan waldman, I hate WEEI, I hate homer anouncers... the one guy I DO like is Keith Hernandez... when the mets are good he talks about it... when they suck he says they suck... its funny

that my opinion... if u dont like it... go [joe] buck yourself

I too hate homer announcers which is why I (hates a strong word but to stay in context) hate Jerry Remy.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like she's been smoking for 40 years. Good gravelly voice!

Worse than Fran by a mile....and a half! I didn't even realize that it was a woman for months!

Smoking pine needles rolled in sandpaper maybe. Washing it down with rotgut whiskey soaked, partially dissolved Ajax cleanser.
