What anouncers can't you stand?

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?

1. Hawk

2. Yankees (Suzy,Kay, and Sterling)

3. Joe Morgan

4. McCarver and Buck


I really enjoy watching Yankee games when Singleton calls the games but if I hear Kay I search for the SAP option.

The guys doing the Os broadcasts now...Mike Flanigan on color and some dude I don't know PBP.

What happened to Jim Palmer and Gary Thorne?

Oh...and Steve Phillips sucks.

I mirror you sentiments exactly...

I am also not a fan of Joe Costiglione for the Red Sox radio broadcasts... over the long years of hearing him, he just sounds so nasally, and unhappy 99% of the time.

Thank goodness Dave O'Brien alternates innings with him.

And Suzy, my goodness, I cant stand to hear her justify why a Yankee did not hit a HR because the wind was blowing in, 3... innings... later.... let it go!

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.

I know its not nice to wish bad things upon someone but I wish someone would shoot that man. When I here "he gone!, its all good, here come the good guys", I just want to put my fist thru the TV screen. Thats why I started this thread becuase I was hoping I was not the only one that could not stand Harrelson.

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?

1. Hawk
2. Buck/McCarver
3. Yankees announcers (Suzy, Kay, Sterling)
4. Joe Morgan
5. Dave Sims/Ron Fairley

1-4 is pretty standard for everyone it seems like. At #5 though, Dave Sims the other night shouted "BASE HIT!" directly after Olivo hit a groundball w/ the bases loaded and M's down 1. In fact it ended up being a routine double play to end the inning.

Ron Fairley has called Felix Hernandez "Felix Martinez" twice already this year and I once heard a game where he thought the ball was a plastic bag floating in the outfield. No joke. The ball was actually in the stands and he's calling it like it's the infield grounder in Angels in the Outfield.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but I could have sworn I heard Thorne earlier this year when I turned on an O's broadcast. Maybe I'm for some reason mistaking that with hearing Dave O'Brien doing BoSox radio.

Quoted for truth and also...Damn what a shame that a former Blue Jay is so horrible at announcing

My #5 would be any other FOX crew.


Oh and Gary Thorne is no longer working for the O's?!?! IMO he's the best local announcer there is in the business right now!

Almost forgot about Chip "LINE DRIVE BASE HIT......CAUGHT" Caray.

I've only tuned into one or two O's games on MASN, but it was Mike Flanigan and someone else, can't remember who.

Gary Thorne and Jim Palmer are doing the game right now.

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?

I think we can all agree that Hawk Harrelson is far and away the worst.

Buck/McCarver is also a horrible team and anyone the Yankees throw out there (especially Sterling) can rot.

I don't see the hate for the YES announcers, but maybe I've gotten used to them. People say they're homers, but almost every home announcing team is. I can't tell you how much I have to hear Gary Thorne talk about how despite Chris Tillman giving up 8 runs in 2 innings, it was a good outing and a learning experience.

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?

I'm a Sox fan and ****ing hate Hawk Harrelson.

[ImTellinTim]

Re: What anouncers can't you stand?

Most of the people everyone has mentioned. Mostly because they're annoying, or in Buck's case a douche.

But Hawk actually makes me angry when I hear him do a game. I have never heard anyone say they like him. And I know a bunch of White Sox fans.
