Ha! That isn't new. Actually, I've never heard it! But I can tell you it isn't new to 09.
This is the tough thing with commentary. We have all these lines for things that will not happen very often. However, we also have lines for things you will do every game. Those are the ones that are repetitive and give commentary that "same ol same ol" feel.
One thing we did this year was go through the script and identify the most common situations. Then we removed any lines that were memorable and recorded a bunch of extra lines to give it more variety.
My main focus this year was on play by play... the Brad Nessler stuff. This guy is a real pro and is great in the recording booth.
I have plans for improving the Kirk and Lee stuff on 2010.
