First I have to put up with Buck/McCarver, and now it's Miller/Morgan. I hate Nationally televised games. I love watching those guys late in the season when they're stuck with a major turkey. They had a Cubs game late in the 1999 season because they had booked a lot of Cubs games after the 1998 playoff run. Anyway Joe spent the entire game apologizing for the crappy television game. It was pretty funny but I'm not doing it justice. Just think of Joe Morgan whinning about MLB not letting ESPN change their Sunday Night game for about 2 1/2 hours and you'll get the point. Oh, I could see it. It's not hard by any stretch. Those guys are more concerned with putting themselves over then the actual game.

I hate those guys, especially Buck.
Ugh. "Yadier Molina's hasn't had a homer." I'll never forget that.

I don't really hate any of them. I think it's more that it's not right to here another set of voices calling your teams game. It's not a big deal in football where every game has a national crew but in baseball you have your guys calling like 80-95% of the games and then you have these crews that don't no the players or haven't been watching things daily so then end sounding ill informed.

You got it right milkman.
Especially the "ill-informed" part. Plus I hate it when they mispronounce players names.

I'm sorry, but these Red Sox/Yankees games are just too darn long.

I'm sorry, but these Red Sox/Yankees games are just too darn long. Hours and hours are spent from Ortiz & Manny admiring their HR's.

Geez, Yanks have 2 on, 0 out, facing Javier f***ing Lopez, and they get squat. That's pretty embarrassing.

Stop browsing Yankee sites, ya troll! As for the lack of scoring against Javy 'I Never Played for the Braves' Lopez, this has become an April tradition. Start extremely slow, wait for people to dump on 'em, get hot in the summer. Extremely frustrating.
