Speaking strictly hypothetically RJM, if God took Buck and McCarver in The Rapture then you have been left behind............wait a minute!!!! So have I!

Yeah, but I'm no fan of Karros. These two sound like they're doing the LLWS. I'm surprised they haven't told us how fast that pitch would be if it was from 48 feet.

I'm with 44... .

That is a good one RJM!

It's not that Vasgersian and Karros are any good. It's just Buck and McCarver have worn out their welcome.

Announcers I can do without:

Joe Buck
Tim McCarver
Brent Musburger
Dan Dierdorf
Joe Theisman
Hubie Brown
any sideline reporter in any sport except Erin Andrews

My favorite announcer is Marv Albert .... "From downtown! Yessssssssss!"

Throw in the Madison Square Garden keyboard player and the Knicks fans yelling DEE-FENSE as the Celtics bring up the ball and you have basketball nirvana.

The best game analyst I've ever heard was Joe Torre doing Angels games. He's the only baseball announcer I actually learned something about the game.

The best "spot" this weekend was Ryan Dempster's imitation of Harry Carey. And just like when Carey announced they missed an at bat.

Couldn't possibly agree more.

No way, no how on Hubie Brown making your list. He is one of the very best I have ever heard. Simply love that guy.

I saw Erin Andrews interviewed on Best (Gosh Darn) Sports Show. She's one of the guys. And looks like one of the girls.

Now that Ernie Harwell is gone......and they have banished Jon Miller to radio only...it leaves only Vin Scully for me at the top of the heap....

he says what he has to say, when it needs said....he lets the game do the talking.....

If they were taken in the rapture then wouldn't "heaven be a place on earth"?

It's interesting you say this. I lived in southern California for twenty-two years. I watched a lot of Dodgers games on tv. I thought the guy never shut up. He threw so much information at the audience (not all relevant) I joked he would tell you what the pitcher's sister hit against lefties in her adult softball league. Maybe it was because he was doing a simulcast with the radio and had to fill dead air that doesn't occur on tv since there's a view.
