everyone here is using quotes but you are either misquoting him or omitting portions of it

"...may the better man win." were the exact words going through my mind at the time and he said it as i was thinking it. it was good stuff

people are too critical on play-by-play and color guys

Wasn't saying you were a fan. I felt the same feeling you did. It's the World Series I get it but my point is that he can't paint a picture and describe the setting like others can.

I'm only critical of the ones who suck ass, like Joe Buck.

I hated Jon Miller when he did Sunday Night Basbeall too so it's not just ole Joe.

well of course Joe Buck isn't as good as a lot of the local broadcasters that have been doing it for 40+ years, but to annihilate him for that one line is ridiculous to me. i thought it was just fine and appropriate.

people need to remember that he's not trying to appeal to the hardcore baseball fans that make up the majority of this thread. he's trying to convey the game and simplify the game to the average american.

Absolutely agree with your second point too. People just have knee-jerk reactions over him, and he appears on @awfulannouncing so often, because overall - he's awful.

I really do get why he's paid what he is to know as little as he does, etc. It's TV for Christ's sake, not your local basball sabremetrics circlejerk.

Fuck, this Royals lineup is good.

[YankeesDMB41]

oh what do you know? mets starters have average starts against teams that actually know how to hit. The cubs were swinging right through these exact same pitches in the middle of the strike zone. This is refreshing to watch

[TwoStep2888]

go Royals

[mthawk07]

To quote Major League 2, which is THE most quotable baseball movie in my opinion..........."it must have been the wind."

Would love for the Royals to sweep, but I'd also like them to win it in the K. Unfortunately that means giving up some momentum and losing a couple.

As much as I want the Royals to win, there's a small part in me that wants the Mets to win just so antsmarching.org can watch you turn into a puddle. It would do the human race some good.

Is that Tech N9ne behind home plate again?

Cueto is pitching great, and these Royals aren't missing any pitches. This series isn't over. Sorry your team isn't in the WS.

If the mets win, you won't hear a peep out of me

lol I'm just kidding. You just seem very passionate in your hate about things in sports (Mets, Peyton, etc)

I dont hate Peyton Manning...I hate the idea that he is the greatest.


I fucking hate the mets though, you're right

[YankeesDMB41]

[scrock25]

This is fun to watch, really hope KC wins.

[scrock25]

This Royals team is ridiculous

[recentlyJTR41]

Mets falling apart and the Royals are good at baseball

[YankeesDMB41]

Addison Reed .....SEAN GILMARTIN

[FromTheMorning]

Royals are so damn deep

[YankeesDMB41]

I think I saw another tear is Wilmer's eye

[recentlyJTR41]

Reminds of the 2012 World Series. Mets are a great team but just aren't showing up ala the Tigers.


Then again it is only game two. Lots of baseball left.

This team will have 0 problems hitting Noah I predict, Fastballs don't scare them, and thats pretty much hows he's dominated...but my predictions have been wrong

[scrock25]

Like I said previously, I don't think the Royals are going to let this one slip through their fingers like last year. They seem to be on a mission.
