I've learned that over the past several seasons to turn down the sound on the Fox broadcasts and listen to the radio broadcasts of the World Series games. I live in northern Delaware and usually listen to the Phillies games on the radio. In the past, the playoff games and World Series games have not been on Philadelphia radio. I've gone as much to listen to games from Chicago or Buffalo, NY. Listening to a playoff game or World Series game from a scratchy radio station from hundreds of miles away is better than listening to these guys on FOX anyday!! --Previous Message-- : I was delighted to read in the L.A. Times : after the NLCS that websites existed devoted : to the richly deserved bashing of Tim : McCarver and the the other half of his : "gruesome twosome" Joe Buck! : This season I became so disgusted with the : irrelvant commentary and obnoxious demeaner : of these two Fox network bumpkins, that I : came up with the bright idea, which I've : since learned many others have discovered, : to turn the volume off my TV, and listen to : the radio broadcasts of the the baseball : games instead. The delay of the radio : version, I find, is much less annoying than : being forced to listen to the meaningless : babble of the dualing dumbkopfs on Fox! It : leads to the question, why can't The Fox : Network find anyone better than Buck and : McCarver to broadcast their Game of the Week : and Postseason Baseball? : : --Previous Message-- : Is it possible Fox knows how awful TM is, : and : thinks viewers tune in to hate him? Probably : not - they don't seem to get baseball. : : Did you guys hear him call a pitch : "down and up" the other day? : Classic. : : :
