McCarver (I'm somewhat embarassed to say) played primarily for the Cardinals, a lot for the Phillies, and just a little bit for the Red Sox and Expos.

Since youz guys turned me on to the fact that I now have the MLB Network on DISH I hope and pray I NEVER have to listen to McCarver or Morgan another day in my life.

Sometimes they broadcast a team I like, which means it is them or nothing. Yesterday I picked nothing.

As for McCarver....his broadcasts should be used by the CIA for interogation purposes.
Bill Lee filled in Remy for a few games this year. When asked what his biggest thrill doing the broadcast was he replied, "Not having to listen to Remy."quote:Originally posted by PopTime:
Kruk is definately good. And TR, I know you're probably familiar with Jerry Remy's work. He does some national stuff on FOX, but mostly RedSox on NESN. Definately someone who could do the job on a larger stage.

There are some who would say, if you can't hit it, you may as well take your chances with the umpire.
Personally I'd rather see a guy battle and at least try to foul it off, but not everyone agrees.
