How many more years do we have to endure the World Series on Fox?

[Fran Kubelik]

Tim McCarver and Joe Buck make me want to slit my wrists. x(

Do they even WATCH the game they are announcing??? Holy CRAP. /rant off

[BOSSHOG]

1. I agree especially about buck

and that selaskie human. An incredibly overbearing team of blabbers. I'm very happy I had little interest in this series borefest.

7. Hey Boss

Why do you hate FOX, and especially why do you hate Baseball :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. I've never met a person who actually enjoys McCarver and Buck

and yet they keep announcing games...it boggles the mind on how these guys got hired

[madinmaryland]

3. Would you prefer it to be Brent Musberger?

:puke:

I'll take McCarver and Buck over Musberger any day!

[Fran Kubelik]

5. I doubt those are our only two options

:D

[Parche]

6. Muslimberger

Did you ever see Kevin Nealons imitation of Musberger........on See Bee essssssssss....:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

You're a real man Deion.

[MrCoffee]

10. i dunno...McCarver's not all that bad

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

[Fran Kubelik]

14. Wow.

That's so wrong...it almost seems comical.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Probably a long long time.

:shrug:I don't watch it.

:hi:

[AllegroRondo]

16. True story

The company I work for got Joe Buck to come in and do a Q&A session as part of a promotion. Someone asked him "whats the best way to get Tim McCarver to shut up?"

[Fran Kubelik]

17. No kidding?

:rofl:

That's hilarious! What was Joe's response?

[AllegroRondo]

21. Another Tim McCarver story...

as told by Lou Brock

during the 1967 World Series, Tim had bought a bunch of tickets to one of the games in Boston for friends and family. But most of them couldnt make it. Before the game, Tim was out on the street in front of Fenway in his uniform pants and t-shirt scalping his extra tickets.

18. Faux's current contract with MLB goes through 2013

Better get used to 'em fucking up baseball. It's what they do best.

[JTG of the PRB]

19. Urgh.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

I'll still watch anyway, though next year I might take a different route and watch the game, put it on mute, and turn on a radio broadcast.

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. If you can get one

That certainly would've been my choice, and was for certain playoff games. But the nearest ESPN Radio affiliate, KNBR in San Francisco (which is also the Giants' flagship station), strangely decided to give the Series broadcast and some division/league series broadcasts to its sister station, KTCT. KNBR is a "boomer" — 50,000 watts — but KTCT is a "sundowner" — required by the FCC to cut its power to 10,000 watts at sundown, so I can't pick it up at night. They've applied to the FCC to go 50,000 watts full-time, though, so maybe next year.
