Pt. 2. Why aren't there any good baseball announcers?

I use apostrophe 's' for both 'is' and 'was', for convenience.





Vin Scully is bad. Bad bad bad. Sorry.





Ken Harrelson. He's bad. Milo Hamilton. He's bad. Tom Hamilton. He's bad. Jerry Remy. He's bad. Dave O'Brien. He's bad. Jack Quinlan. He's bad. Jack Whitaker. He's bad. Lesley Visser. Bad. Ron Fairly. Bad. Darrin Jackson. Bad. Sandy Koufax. Bad. Mario Impemba. Very bad. Jim Gray. Bad. Billy Sample. Bad. Bob Wolff. Bad. Bob Gamere. Bad. Mudcat Grant. Ho ho. Bad. Tom Hutyler. Bad. Steve Stewart. Bad. Bill Stern. Bad. Al Helfer. Bad. Tom Cheek. Bad. Dick Enberg. Wholly bad. Nev Chandler. Bad. George Brett. Bad. Bill Macatee. Bad. Darrell Porter. Bad. Ken Korach. Bad. Peter Gammons. Mumble bad. Tito Fuentes. Bad. Stu Nahan. Bad. Brent Musburger. Whoo! Bad. Gordon McLendon. Bad. Ron Darling. Bad. Dave Campbell. Bad. Carlos Baerga. Bad. Garry Maddox. Bad. Lou Piniella. Bad. Jimmy Piersall. Bad. Warner Wolf. Bad. Pat Tabler. Bad. Ty Tyson. Bad. Alan Ashby. Bad. Ken Brett. Bad. Keith Jackson|||Does this mean you are or are not taking the job I proposed the first time?|||Tom Hamiltons not bad. Hes a homer, but not bad. Bob Costas was great when he did baseball. The only other guy I like at all is Harrold Reynolds. Peter Gammons too if he wasnt such a Red Sox guy.|||Joe Buck does a great play by play. He keeps it light while staying focused on the important plays and aspects of the game. All the other announcers pretty much suck.|||I have taken you off my contact list for your last two completely ignorant questions.





I thought you knew something about baseball, but I was mistaken.





Vin Scully is bad? You should be "Sorry" for even thinking that, let alone typing it.





Get a clue.


.|||Yes, Vin Scully sucks. Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way. Hawk Harrelson used to be okay, but he's lost it. The best ever was Curt Gowdy.|||ESPN's Jon Miller is pretty darn good (Joe Morgan is just ok).


Pittsburgh's Lanny Frattare is good also (but I will always miss Bob Prince). Ole Vin is well past his prime but was pretty good back in the day. However, the fact of the matter is that the days of the baseball broadcaster is past. There are no more Herb Scores, Harry Careys, Bob Uekers, Mel Allens, or Phil "Holy Cow" Rizzutos waiting in the wings to fill the ever widening gap. Sad, sad, sad.|||Vin Scully is not bad at all, and look at Joe Buck! he knows his stuff. and what about Bert Blyleven!? look at these guys! they aren't anywhere near bad!|||Your question is bad.Bad bad bad. Sorry.





Just as it was the first time you asked it.|||I agree with Kris. I can't believe you're a top contributor in baseball...it's obvious you know nothing.|||you missed bob carpenter and don sutton [nats] GREAT!!!!
