Hnd I don't means balls that fly over the fence.
I'm talking about announcers who simply canNOT be objective calling a game.
While ya'all were enjoying the Giant game Friday, listening to Kruk and Kuip, I was saddled with the homers from Philthydelphia.
Don't know their names, don't care.
Listening to them whine about EVERY pitch that was close that they DIDN'T get got old, and it got old fast.
To some extent, since they are being paid by the teams for which they broadcast, all announcers are homers.
But not like these two.
"Where was THAT pitch?"
"Guess that's only a strike for the Giants."
"He missed that one."
"Missed another one."
I've grown to really resent NBC Bay area, and not by just a little.
Every game shown on NBC Bay area ISN'T carried by Directv.
I pay a LOT of money each year for Directv, and being forced to listen to homers from the other teams, or just flat out dorks with their stupid humor, like Mark Grant of the Padres, makes me not want to even watch.
Dr. Johnny Fever, if you remember him from WKRP in the 70's used to wear a tee shirt that said "Death before Disco."
I want to wear two, tee shirts. One that would say "Hell before Hip-Hop," and the other "Bad Breath Before NBC Bay Area" broadcasts.
