^yeah well, we'll see about that
I cannot stomach that Fox though, they make Remy and Orsillo sound like Shakespeare in the park.
I just read this on the boston.com RS msg board and I can't stop laughing
"You know, when McCarver first started doing games years and years ago he was excellent. He had an excellent baseball background and his comments were insightful and to the point. At some point, someone must have encouraged him to motormouth it. He went from being a fairly quiet but useful guy in the booth (someone who talks when he has something useful to say) to being a dopey guy who seems amazed by his own points. He became the kind of announcer who could watch one player grab his crotch, see another adjust his cup his ten minutes later (his own cup, not the first player's), and then come up with a theory: "You know, I've noticed that both Ortiz and Manny seem to be grabbing their crotch a whole lot this season. It's funny because I've found myself doing the same thing here in the booth. Must be a lot of that crotch thing going around. I'm going to have to keep my eye on it. If you know what I mean. I mean, I'm not going to keep my eye on Manny or David's crotch. No, no. My own crotch is plenty for me. Boy, don't those two guys bring a whole lot of crotch to the Red Sox lineup? You could call them The Big Crotch. In a matter of speaking. If you know what I mean. Oh, oh. Look there. Jonathan Papelbon just grabbed his crotch too. That's the kind of leadership Ortiz brings to this lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if many Sox players will soon be grabbing their crotches just like Big Papi."

"McCarver and Buck both Stink. All they do is talk over the Game and take away from the action on the Field.
Buck is a little Punk. He is a carbon copy of all the Punks that they have employed at ESPN. in recent years. He (and they) think every broadcast is about him and what he thinks. He tries to make politically correct comments and statements.
He also (without class) makes sarcastic remarks about Players and different personalities in the game. His entire focus is on anything controversial and to see how many cute, obnoxious one -liner remarks he can squeeze in during a broadcast
Joe Buck you are No Jack Buck Sir, and you never will be. It is obvious that your Father did not pass on any class, humility or dignity to you.
These two guys represent what low depths journalists and broadcasters have reached these days.
Thes two guys are thet biggest cry-baby spoiled rotten, boring broadcast teams in all of sports."
I can't wait to read that Feeding The Monster book, it's out Tuesday
