For me it is Ken Harrelson of the White Sox. IMO that man is the most annoying anouncer ever. I never really have been a White Sox's fan but I never hated them. Every since I moved to Northern Indiana where there on all the time I have grown to hate them because of this man. I wish he would lose his job,lol.

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
Honestly, at this point there are way more I dislike than actually like. With that said, the #1 guy who comes to mind is Joe Buck. He has somehow mastered the ability to be both boring and pompous at the same time which I figured was impossible.
Joe Morgan would've been 1B to Joe Buck if he were still on air.Comment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
Buck and Harrelson top the list for me. Kay, Sterling, and Waldman are all awful for Yankee games also, and from what I hear on MLB Network I don't like the Marlins guys, mainly for the "His name is Dan Uggla!" home run call. Maybe a Marlins fan can explain that call to me because it makes no sense.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

On the other hand, I never miss an opportunity to hear Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez call a game. IMO, that Met's crew is the best going in the business right now...really enjoy them."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
Actually, when the Braves feed on me crapped out last night I switched to the Marlins broadcast where they started to talk about him again. They were basically saying how around the league when he first came up, he was so unknown that people would pronounce his name "Oogla." So basically when he sparked enough home runs in a year and garnered a big contract he started to get some respect around the league and people began to know his name... and "His name is Dan Uggla!"
Dumb story, but since he's on the Braves now I guess they had to reiterate it for people like me who were watching.
As for announcers, Ken Harrelson easily tops that list. Some announcers are idiotic; he's just annoying.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?
Yeah, Ken Harrelson is horrible. It had been a long time since I've heard him, but just watched the highlights on Quick Pitch on MLB Network.
"He gone! It's all good!"
Horrible.
McCarver is up there as well.Comment
