Im 52 yrs old ,so you can see Im not a new 90,s fan- - Its been a great year and although the Redsox being knocked out makes me happy - the Angels can be a pain in the axx
I want to hear a lot of >> It is high , it is far, it is gone !!!!- An A-Bomb from A-rod- - or El Capiton !!- - or Georgie juiced one !!!- - -Yankees win,, Theeeeeee ,yankeeeeees win !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sure every city has thier homer- but John Sterling is too much... some times I leave on the radio and turn off the sound on the TV.
TBS was awful. I turned the sound down and listened to John and Suzyn. I'll do the same thing when the games are on Fox -- I can't stand listening to Buck and McCarver.
I'm sure you fans who are of a certain age (as I am) remember the days when a local broadcaster would be brought in to do play-by-play or color commentary on the national broadcasts. TBS and Fox should both go back to that practice (at least TBS gave the Red Sox fans a Sawx broadcaster on the Red Sox/Angels broadcasts -- we got to listen to Ron Darling and Skip Caray).
Add me to the list that thought TBS was terrible.....who has the next series?
Edit: OK I see it's Fox. Better.
A little better -- but the commercial breaks will last forever, and I'll still be listening to the radio (now, if I could get the radio audio onto the videotape, I'd be a very happy camper). If we're lucky, we'll have a different announce team than Buck/McCarver -- they drive me nuts.
who cares? some guys you dont know hit a ball with a bat, run around some bases and it makes you happy? ill continue praying here and everywhere for them to not get in. i dont need to make a trip out to the bronx to fall asleep watching the most boring sport out there.
Not to mention there are 50,000,000,000 other places on the net to discuss this crap.

John Sterling needs to get laryngitis and Susan Waldman could use a smack.
Until baseball has a salary cap, any victory by the Yankees is a hollow one. Just my .02.
When you have a population where baseball interest is more feverish, such as Boston or NY, you will have sustained years of excellence. There are really no down years. In contrast, places like Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, there is really no chance for these teams at the beginning of a season. Every once in a while, a team like the Marlins or Tampa will have a one year run, then will be knocked back down. Why? Because the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox can afford to pay free agents from these teams off of big seasons. For the most recent proof, look at that guy in Milwaukee, Sabathia (sp?).
A salary cap is needed to nullify the disproportionate fan interest that exists in the northeast corridor of the country to make the sport more interesting on a national basis, IMO.
