1. It's part of their mission
Faux is determined to fuck up baseball.

3. Buck's there to show us how to "succeed" in America:
Have rich connected parents and don't do anything to upset the power structure.

6. I liked his dad.
His "And we'll see you tomorrow night!" call of Kirby Puckett's homerun in Game 6 of the 1991 World Series is a classic.

But the son has done nothing to really distinguish himself.

5. I wish TBS was doing the Series instead.
Much less commericialized and more pure to the sport. And no Tim McCarver repeating obvious things.

Plus Cal Ripken was a commentator for TBS--that's in and of itself a reason to prefer TBS.

8. Hawk Harrellson--the absolute worst announcer in baseball.
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 10:27 AM by PeterU
I know generally the home announcers will show obvious favor to their hometown team, but Harrellson's "good guys/bad guys" schtick is just ridiculous.

Joe Morgan doesn't bother me too much--I guess its because he's paired up with Jon Miller, who I think hands down is the best announcer in baseball. In honor of turtlensue, I will proudly announce a "Eff you Peter J. Angelos" for letting Jon Miller go as the Orioles play by play guy.

12. I don't loathe Tim McCarver
Mild disdain is the most I can muster for him.
