I'm not sure what to make of this.

It's like if my girlfriend or my mom where a baseball announcer!

I didn't really find it all that funny.
But it did remind me of Ronald Reagan when he was an announcer for the 1989 All Star Game.

[Zito75]

Worst: Ron Fairly and Tim McCarver.

[MSUlaxer27]

Worst: Joe Morgan hands down.
Second: Phil Rizzuto (Yeah, Bill I can remember golfing in Florida with xxxx - while the game was going on).


I can remember when McCarver was a credible announcer for the Mets.

Ah, the irony !
Rizzuto, the most refreshing, joyful announcer New York has ever had, would often ask "what just happened White ?" because he wasn't always following the action.
Now we find you criticising him for just that sort of attitude as you provide a list that has nothing to do with the thread. Guess you just weren't paying attention !!!
That's rich.

There are a few good broadcasters (Harwell, Murcer, Scully, Rizzuto, Jon Miller, and the like), but let's get to the worst.

As of tomorrow, Cardinals and Cubs fans, prepare for your worst nightmares tomorrow: Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. (even worse is on Sunday with Joe "Team Basher" Morgan >_<) Anyone watching the game, MUTE it. Or just don't listen to the game, because these two are a disgrace to baseball. I just want everybody who is a Cubs or Cardinals fan to not watch the game on FOX. Why?

McCarver has the uncanny power to make you go insane. Buck will try to hypnotize you with his monotonous speaking. How is that? I'm not bashing them, I had enough of those two tarnishing the broadcasting greats. Joe Morgan just doesn't like St. Louis or Chicago for unknown reasons. (he hates the Mets too, because he lost to them in the 1973 NLCS)

This is exactly why I strongly dislike the terrible tandem of McCarver and Buck. They're extremely miscast as the number one MLB on FOX broadcasters.

Great piece of satire! It's funny because it's often true among a good chunk of announcers and commentators!
