I know everyone thinks this guy is the best play by play guy around, but I can not listen to him. He tries to be too cute on his broadcasts. Ok boys, let me have it.

I think his style was more enjoyable prior to 20 years ago.

I still think he is one of the best though.

Finally, someone agrees with me about him. It's nothing personal, I just hate listening to him.

Isn't Vin Scully one of the last play by play guys around to not have a color commentator?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion...

Vin may have lost half a step over the years, but we're talking about one of the best PBP baseball guys in the history of the game. We're talking about a guy who learned his craft from Red Barber.

For those of us of a certain age, Vin is as good as there has ever been.

He's not for everybody, but for those who grew up with him, he's nostalgic.

I think it's because he's in there alone. Nothing worse than hearing that old man ramble on all game with nobody to talk to.

You guys have to listen to him every day. he is the best and i am an Angel fan. he knows every ball player and has a story about each one. He is the most entertaining anouncer in baseball.

I've always taken offense to his phrase "Just of the start of things. so pull up a chair." It's especially offensive when you bet the over and it's 0-0 in the 4th inning.

I also can't stand when he starts a sentence with "Isn't it ironic..." and proceeds to expound on the most inconsequential nonsense.

He'll say something to the effect like "Isn't ironic that he sucked a dick in 1972 and now he's a complete dick himself". He can be like bad chalk on a blackboard.

He's the only announcer in the history of modern sports where I have to mute If I watching one of his game.
