Anyone else turn off FOX and switch to ESPN Radio tonight for the game?

I'm sorry but I can't take anymore of Joe Buck, had to switch to ESPN Radio and will probably be staying there for the rest of the series. Even though I can't see what is going on its much better.

Why on earth would I want to listen to Aaron Boone? He's borderline retarded.

 

[HammerDown]

They're both horrible

 

[broncosmitty]

It's too bad Westwood One doesn't get baseball rights.

Shulman is good though. I flipped on AM 1000 tonight, not even thinking Id get ESPN guys.

They should have Gus call baseball too. Maybe he won't know what he's talking about, but it'll sound exciting

STL owns you.

 

[iamotexm]

I usually mute the tv and listen on mlb radio

 

[OregonDucks]

it still irks me FOX uses the NFL theme song for baseball.

I must be the only person in the world who likes Joe Buck. Really don't understand the flak he continues to get.

Could do without Joe Buck, but I love me some John Smoltz. Wish he was still doing Braves games. I miss his corny jokes. Tom Glavine has the personality of drywall.

I'm biased and all but I don't see it, either. It's not like they have Pete Rose out there calling the game. Buck does have some Troy Aikman moments but overall he does a great job.

You are allowed your opinion, but on this topic, your opinion means nothing. One of the main gripes fans have against him is his Cardinal homerism. Especially in games he does that don't even involve the Cards.

Pretty sure they're different.

 

[OregonDucks]

Pretty sure they're different.

LOL No way FOX uses NFL theme for CFB and MLB so extremely dumb.

Especially when at one point MLB on FOX had this....which growing up was one in one with baseball in Fall.

 

[OregonDucks]

Pretty sure they're different.

The first half of this one is the old theme, then goes into the new theme which is NFL...if you can tell the difference please tell me.

While I don't have the hate for Joe Buck that some seem to, he does get a little annoying sometimes. I do like Smoltz' analysis though.
Here in Canada, I've been watching it on Sportsnet where they have MLB international doing the game. We have Matt Vasgergian doing play by play which is okay but we also have Buck Martinez doing analysis. Some people like him but not me. I have to put up with him and Pat Tabler all season long on Blue Jays telecasts and it can be hard to take. I don't get ESPN radio unless I drive out to the surrounding mountains but I can't stand Aaron Boone either. I like Jessica Mendoza more than virtually every other analyst out there right now as well. She's a fuck of a lot better then most of these putzes.
I guess the saving grace in all this is me don't have to put up with Ron Darling or Dennis Eckersley.
