I wonder if they'll bring up the fact that Ruiz is from Venezuela in the 3rd game too

They're own FSN bio page says Panama!

"So, what do you think they're talking about? Good times in Venezuela?"

"Most likely, Joe. Ruiz not only thanked me before the game for finally learning how to pronounce his name, but also something about Panama. He was speaking Spanish, but I think he said "My home country of Venezuela is close to Panama."

and he's back.

my favorite moment from last night was when the broadcast started and you could hear all of greenwich ave in new york (every bar was packed with red) erupt into FUCK JOE BUCK FUCK JOE BUCK.

forgot to report this.
i got my shot into Joe at around 11 right as he was going on air to report the game was off. i got as close up as i could in the 300 level and screamed "Joe Buck you suck!!!" - i managed to turn the heads of the radio booth guys. i felt a little better.

Are other fans from other cities against Buck too? He's really a corny guy - borderline straight up nerd. But most of the big time mc's have bugged me over the years and I luv when they get chopped back down...

Brent Musberger was huge at one time, Dick Enberg, Dan Dierdorf on MNF, nobody cares about these guys... and i have to say that some people are just showing signs of age Bradshaw has whatever he had, he just seems old and dis-interested and Chris Berman is pretty played out... announcers have a life-span...funny, when McCarver started out, he was kind of funny and didn't take himself too seriously -- then when he became a national profile -- he became a total douchet

There are so few announces in any sport that I can stand.

The anti-Philly bias is so prevalent and all pervasive that I barely even react to it anymore. The only way to shut em all up, is to just win championships, because the one thing the industry does more than anything else, is they are the ultimate front-runners. Once you are perceived as a "winner", they get on your jock. If Andy Reid not Belichick won 3 SBs, he'd be the legendary Reid. If Manuel wins a couple WS with Ryan/Hamels/Utley -- he'll be the "old guru players manager" -- they will mythologize it out of proportion -- IF -- IF ---- you become champion or perennial champion.

The rest, I just take for granted, Santa booed snowballs, yeah yeah -- blah blah...

Buck and McCarver and Fox and MLB -- f em all

I think Buck is pretty widely loathed.

My friend who used to run the Bat-Girl (Minnesota Twins) blog e-mailed me the other day after I'd been complaining about him with the note that one of her readers "once made a comment that winter is when Joe Buck crawls up Derek Jeter's butt, poking his head out a few months later to see if its spring."

surely batgirl can do a lego-vision of Game 5 v.1.0. I would enjoy that.

Did anyone else hear his interview back in August with Colin Cowherd where he stated that he doesn't watch baseball, or prepare,beyond his game of the week because he finds watching baseball for 3 hours boring?

How can this man be a baseball announcer?

She's retired, unfortunately. At least for now. I prophesy a triumphant return when her kid is old enough to go to school. (Also, I'm not sure how you'd Lego-model a deluge. But she probably knows.)

I'm supposed to have dinner with her in Cleveland next week. If she sets up Lego on the table, I'll take pictures.

Yeah, I was bummed when she announced retirement. Dont care about the twins, but her blog was awesome.
