Better playoff announcers?

[Bluzmann57]

Poll question: Better playoff announcers?

I am not terribly fond of any grouping of announcers in the playoffs, especially here in the LCS games.
Two networks, two different sets of announcers. So who do you like?

[JonLP24]

1. Anyone but Buck

So I voted TBS guys.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. Fortunately, I killed my television years ago

However, I do recall when ABC tortured all baseball fans from coast to coast by teaming Howard Cosell and Keith Jackson for the World Series.

Man, did that ever suck.

[Sugarcoated]

5. I was just a kid at the time

but I sort of liked Cosell. Didn't he do the Billie Jean King/Bobbie Riggs match?

[Sugarcoated]

3. Tim McCarver is intensely annoying

And Buck is just :puke: inducing.

4. At least we don't have to listen to Joe Morgan talk about "the cutter"

but I always struggle to listen to McCarver felatiate Mariano Rivera the first time the Yankees get a lead. Thank god he's not doing the Yankees game tonight.

6. Ron Darling used to call Nats games.

Then they got rid of him. That should tell you something about Darling.Oy.

[brendan120678]

7. He's been great with the Mets...

for the past 5 years or so.

[TZ]

8. I'm not sure why the Nats keep hiring ex-Mets as announcers

They currently have Ray Knight, who while better than either Darling or that asshole Rob Dibble, isn't exactly what I call great either. Darling I found really annoying though. So did alot of other people here, apparantly

[Kingofalldems]

9. Did I hear Dick Stockton in this series?

He is excellent.

[Upton]

10. What I don't get..

is the Giants lead announcer, Jon Miller, is doing the ALCS on radio for ESPN instead of doing the Giants games. A similar thing happened in 2002. I doubt if Miller is happy about it. Must be something about his contract with ESPN.

[TZ]

12. Jon Miller might be just about my favorite baseball announcer

outside of Bob Uecker. Just one more thing to dislike the Orioles and Peter Angelos for--firing him!

[CreekDog]

17. You win. That's the correct answer

and we're lucky to have him calling most of our Giants games.

[CreekDog]

18. I wondered the same thing...I wanted to hear Jon Miller call these games

but Kruk and Kuip are always good.

[Auggie]

11. Local guys... I'm watching TV, listening on radio

Mike Krukow, Giants play-by-play, and Daune Kuiper: ex-players with insights you don't hear from non-players

[hughee99]

15. It depends on the locals, Sterling and Waldman (Yankees) are painful to listen to. n/t

[El Supremo]

13. Dan Shulman & Dave Campbell

Campbell used to be a Rockies announcer.

[LisaM]

14. I voted TBS because Fox is so terrible

plus you can't see the score of the game.

[bigwillq]

16. Buck is awful

So anyone but him. I didn't think the guys on TBS were that bad.
