The Two Reasons I’m Glad The World Series is Over

Posted by kevin on October 30, 2008

The Worst Announcing Crew Ever: Usually I can live with some sub-par announcing, but Holy Hell, Joe Buck and TIm McCarver redefine suck.  The simple fact that Fox puts these clowns on the air makes me not want to watch any playoff baseball.  The sad part is that isn’t an exaggeration.  Joe Buck has admitted he doesn’t even like calling baseball, and we all know he doesn’t even deserve a job in the announcing business (seriously, name someone who has been for a ride on their fathers coattails for longer).  He brings zero excitement to the games, and sometimes just declines to call the action on the field instead opting to do God knows what, probably give McCarver a tug job under the desk.  And then Tim McCarver comes through with unprecedented levels of fail with his “color commentary” which is about as insightful as listening to a baby who is just learning how to talk. Fox should take a step back and realize the reason for a decline in World Series rating isn’t just because it was Philadelphia vs. Tampa Bay (two of the most exciting young teams in baseball) but it was because they have more fail in an announcing booth than was previously thought possible.

Bud Selig: This abomination of a commissioner just needs to quit while he’s this far behind.  Who knows why the owners decided to give him an extension, everytime this clown faces a crisis he somehow manages to bungle it beyond what anyone thought was humanly possible.  Scott Eyre hit it on the head when he allegedly said that he wouldn’t trust Selig to supervise one of his shits.  I couldn’t agree more. It’s time for this idiot to disappear forever, and take Buck and McCarver with him.
