A new Marty has to go thread

[CTA513]

I just recieved this article from my brothers friends cousins nephew with half a face about Brad Pitt being probed by an alien with no feet.... later today that same alien with no feet was seen making out with Angelina Jolie just outside Great American Ballpark.

Yeah Marty is the only guy out there who invests time in watching all the games, therefore HE should be tired of collecting his checks too right?

Marty lost me yesterday on his inane Email about Jeff Gordon.... someone had the nerve to tell Marty he was wrong...well you all know the rest of the story as another local announcer might say.

WOY, I think I caught the tail end of that one. Was that when he mentioned Jeff Gordon singing "Take Me Out.." in Chicago and telling the crowd that he loved "Wrigley Stadium?"

If so, I don't why Marty chose to read that email anyway. That was old news and IMO Marty stunk up the joint when he was asked to sing at Wrigley (three times as he reminded the audience yesterday )

You CANT make this kind of stuff up.

Yeah, that really bended Marty's rebar.

I wish I got paid to watch thiis crap too.

I think a week without Marty and some of you would realize what your missing and be asking for him back. Like someone else said if I had to watch this crap for 162 games year after year I would be getting upset too. And dont tell me something like well then maybe he should quit and move elsewhere because I'm sure over time he has really started to like this team. I know I would be much, much worse if I had to watch this team go 10 years without making the playoffs and had to call 30 Eric Milton starts a year.

Marty is a professional announcer and he should act like a professional. The Tigers sucked for much of Ernie Harwell's tenure as well, but he never morphed into the sad shadow of his former self that Marty has become.

I've been about a month without him, and haven't missed him at all.
I don't care if he's bored or upset with this team. He needs to act professional and call the ballgame. How hard is that? Lots of us have to put up with boring jobs for longer than 3-4 hours/day. Plus Marty only works about 1/2 of the year, he can suck it up and pretend to be interested in the game, and actually prepare for a game.

I haven't listened most of the year. I turned off Reds radio after being a listener for over 30 years. Now I follow the games over the internet.

Marty has become a caricature of himself.

[kbrake]

Maybe I just havent been around long enough most of seem to have been listning to Marty for a very long time and I'm just not that old. Marty may get off course at times but I still think he is real good at calling play by play. I just think once Marty leaves he will be missed.

I haven't listened for quite some time and I don't miss him one bit.

Joe I miss.

Red Barber would get criticized around these parts.

[RedsFan75]

I rarely listen to Reds Radio and part of it is all the side jokes in the booth, the stories, the golf... I don't miss him now, but I do miss the Marty I grew up with.

I travel a lot and listen to many radio broadcasters... Trust me there are plenty out there that are much WORSE than Marty, but there's also many pro's who are better, even for bad teams.

I just wish he'd return to the professionalism that earned him that Hall of Fame induction.

Steve and Joe please.

Marty was great..it's past.

I heard that he dyed his hair...

I really seriously enjoyed listening to the games in Milwaukee that Steve and Joe did. The broadcasts were about baseball. Seems kinda obvious.
