I have to say Thom Brennaman and Chip Caray, respectively. Brennaman's voice drives me nuts, it's not so much how he calls the game or who he is as a person, just his voice. Chip Caray (baseball announcing royalty), acts quite stuck-up on the air as if he knows everything.

Pretty much the entire NBA on ABC crew, especially Jeff Van Gundy, if i hear him make a stupid joke one more time, Im just going to mute him.

Bob Cole-see joe buck
Joe Buck has gotten worse as the years have gone on, probably due to an increase in pay. I actually used to like him, but what I said about Chip Caray can now apply to him as well.

Tim McCarver doesn't bug me so much, I find it comical that he can turn a two word answer into a two hundred word comment. Didn't Family Guy parody him?

Who are your favorites? For me, Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs (Mariners). The best by far, and it always is more fun to listen/watch a game where the announcers are obvious homers.

I like Tim McCarver as a person, but I don't enjoy his "analysis" all that much. I even tried to read his book The Perfect Season a few years ago and could only get about half-way through it.

Tom Hamilton, radio voice of the Cleveland Indians.
He makes an infield popup sound like the second coming.
It gets old.
Save it for the times something really spectacular happens.
