to the announcers who do the White Sox games for Comcast in Chicago...these guys "homers" to 10th degree..you might as well just hand the microphone to a couple of fans and have them call the game...won't be too much of a difference.

Thats pretty funny. Vin Scully isn't like that here in L.A he is
the best sports announcer in the biz.

I agree. It's terrible. If you have MLB extra innings, listen to a game with the Mets announcers. Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez are both very good.

I don't follow any one team..I do like David Ortiz as a player. That's as close as I get to having a rooting intrest.

I would have to say he is my favorite player also. He won the
World Series for Boston IMO. And no one is as clutch as D.Ortiz.

If I could pick one player to have @ bat with people in scoring
pos it would be him. :toast:

No doubt they are homers but you know what, they're about 10 times more entertaining than most and they also know their stuff. They also recognize great players and acknowledge on other teams and when the White Sox get a big break they're quick to point it out.

At least they don't try and cover up the fact that they're fans too, unlike other homers who try not to reveal it. They're obvious about it and I totally disagree that they're sickening to listen to.

In my opinion, Vin Scully is the best, bar none, but these two guys, Hawk and I forget the other guys name are extremely knowledgable and exremely entertaining too.

Ya ever listen to Chip Carray? He sounds like he's calling a circus and uses every cliche in the book every night. He's sickening.

So is Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. McCarver tries to sound like he knows more than anyone else and all he does all game is point out the obvious.

Anyway, White Sox announcers are original, funny, entertaining and knowledgable and I think you're way off on this one.

Oh yeah, I'm not a White Sox fan either. I'm from Toronto where we have the best radio announcer in the business, Jerry Howarth.

Cheers
