    Statements repeated by announcers that drive you bananas...

    For me, it's when announcers say, as if they've witnessed magic, "How many time does a guy who's made a great play to end an inning, leadoff the next!"

    I got your answer guys: roughly one out of nine times a great play is made to end an inning.

    That one has always annoyed me as well.

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    "Get 'em on....get 'em over...get 'em in"

    I long for a permanant "bleep" over that expression. Or at least the middle part.

    I really hate when Martys says: "And this one belongs to the Reds!"

    I hate it when there is a runner on second with one out and Grande says the batters job is to hit a ball to the right side and move the runner to third.

    I hate double plays and the announcers saying "at least he made contact"

    I have mentioned that exact thing in several threads. It drives me absolutely nuts. How much does GG really know about baseball?

    These guys are all highly paid professionals that are the best of the best at what they do. It's the functional equivalent of praising Stephen Hawking for his addition and subtraction skills.

    I like the call: "Its deep drive to <insert left, center or right> field!", on a ball that does not even make it to the warning track.

    Would not a deep drive be at least to warning track or wall... or maybe a home run?

    Do you remember SI's "As So Often Happens" April Fool's joke a few years ago? They invented all kinds of fake stats about this and made up quotes attributed to baseball experts. A lot of people wrote in to dispute the "research." Classic.

    Welcome to (name of stadium)!
    One out in the inning.
    One run crosses the plate.
    How about that.
