Watching the Cards/Brewers game. I don't usually watch the St Louis feed, so I'm not too familiar with their announcers. Why do they make every single play sound like the most important/exciting play of all time?
"Lucroy swings...hits......AND GROUNDS OUT TO FIRST!! For the second out of the top of the first"
Cardinals TV announcers are the worst. Maglaughlin (sp?) is a company man and a drunk. Hrabosky is a fake tough guy with $h!t for brains, just like when he was a player, Horton just doesn't seem intelligent in the booth. And of course, they've added McCarver for about 40 games a year. Bad if you like analysis, fantastic is you like drinking games.
That's mainly McLaughlin who is a huge homer. He has to change his pants after every deep fly ball.Originally Posted by NebraskaRed
And as the other guy pointed out, the cardinals booth is pretty awful. I usually either mute the broadcast or have my kids talking over it anyway.
I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.

In a move that surely will have repercussions around the world, the Ms bolstered something, most likely their payroll.

"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Mariners are in a win now mode and with that comes the pressure of not throwing in the towel.

Hamilton to DL in Tex
Who didn't see that coming?
Houston is going to get rid of their hill in CF beginning next season.
Aww, too bad. I don't love the hill, but I did like the thinking behind it of giving a ballpark a unique twist.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Bummer about the hill, I like outfields with character.
Go Gators!
The hill was too steep. If it had been a more gradual slope and not so blatantly artificial, it may have been more accepted.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Yeah, I think you're right. To the uninitiated the hill was something of a homage to the left field slope in Crosley Field. This one just seemed unnatural. Wonder if they are going to leave the CF distance the same.
I dunno. The ChiTown Sperm Whales has a nice ring to it.
Some people still call the cubs that.
Go Gators!
