The Original Freak

[Heathbar012]

I'm sure McCarver still has nightmares about facing guys like Marichal, and he probably never faced Guidry. So he's was going for the "enchanter" comparison more than anything else.

The comparison certainly makes more sense to me now. Thanks. I will call Tim McCarver stupid for other reasons, of which there are definitely many. Also true that he knows more about baseball than I could ever hope to fathom, and I'm with you on wishing he wouldn't commentate to the lowest common denominator. Part of the social aspect of watching a sporting event is explaining the jargon to casual fans. Plus, with google at everyone's finger tips, who is ever really in the dark when it comes to any foreign sayings or terms?

McCarver wouldn't know what 'Google' was if it beaned him with a 96 mph fastball and banged his wife.

Hey msg, since you know how, can you invite TCSFFAN over here? I think I did originally, but I'm not sure. He's a very good poster as well.

EDIT: If you don't feel like it, no worries.

EDIT II: Hey, there's been an iHATEdodgers sighting.

For now I'm on a self-imposed total posting strike there. Just sick of those idiots. If I break down and post over there again, I will for sure.

Why don't you give it a whirl? Be sure to include in his mailbox that the paid-board thing is just a joke...

lol, understood. It's hard enough to not post over there on it's own.....yet alone if you break the "pee seal".

Yeah, McCarver's a terrible announcer. Still can't believe he said, "it was right there," on the strike three pitch to Ishikawa when fox trax and pitch f/x showed it was a literal foot outside the zone. I think he's stuck in 1998 or something.
