Oh yeah (rejogging memory)...

Phillips: *finshing Tigers ramble* blah blah Leyland blah...

Ravech: John, anything to add to that?

Kruk: *dumbfounded/irritated* Nope.

*laughter from everyone, with Phillips looking a little embarrassed and somewhat pissed*

Some sentient programmer put Phils-Nats on tonight.

Tino (Seventh Grade Haircut) Martinez: Capenter over Webb for Cy "because he's got his team in the race." Yeah, via two sucky starts.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2006 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Ravech: AL MVP?
Kruk/Brantley: Jeter Jeter Jeter
Phillips: Morneau
Kruk/Brantley: WHAT? YOU ARE CRAZY, HE'S NOT CLUTCH

Morneau's stats with RISP this year: .323/.402/.573; .310/.429/.517 with RISP/2 out. Also hitting a reasonably-clutch .299/.343/.540 close/late. Not as sick as Jeter's, but "not clutch" my ass.

Then again, Mauer's hitting .408/.547/.653 with RISP/2 out and is Jeter's superior in almost every conceivable statistic (projected to the same # of ABs or otherwise) except steals and runs scored. (Another overlooked fact: Mauer's 3rd in the AL in intentional walks, behind Ortiz and Guerrero.)

Anyway, I digress from my original point, which is that Kruk and Brantley are idiots and also really unpleasant to look at.

haha, Brantley's NL Cy is HARANG.

They're all idiots cept Tim K. And the BBTN Mets' MVP was declared to be Reyes.

Huh. I'm going to be borrowing cable to watch the playoffs - this is what I can expect to be subjected to?

MUTE

Ravvy to Eric Byrnes, rain delay: "What part of Jeter's game would you like to acquire? Is it that aura?" *CLICK*

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 6 October 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Byrnes looked hilarious, by the way.

polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 6 October 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

byrnes looks like a fat hobbit

In a horrendous three-piece suit with ugly translucent green tie.

polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i didn't think he was that big?

mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 6 October 2006 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

You know you want to party with Eric Byrnes in Scottsdale.

three years pass...

saw some of Mets-Cards at lunch -- who was color guy w/ high-pitched voice?

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 25 March 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link

Was it Kruk?

no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link

Not unless he had MTF surgery

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 25 March 2010 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link

I read that it was Kruk on color with a female play-by-play person.

no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 22:30 (fourteen years ago) link

I heard it was the kid from Dwight Gooden's car. He's doing Leno tonight too.

four weeks pass...

This week's award goes to the knucklehead(s) who decided to have the career stats run from latest (at the top) to earliest (at the bottom).

Illwario Alacarte (Andy K), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link

the new round of baseball tonight guys are soooooooo bad -- dave winfield is in contention for top 5 worst espn in-studio analysts in any sport

artie flange (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link

otm

on the plus side, not wanting to give that crap attention anymore frees up a few more minutes in the day

Nom Nom Nom Chomsky (WmC), Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:12 (fourteen years ago) link

JP Rich makes me change the channel real fast.

no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah, JP is like if one of the dudes from 'jersey shore' aged 30 years overnight and then was hired by ESPN

artie flange (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link

one month passes...

who is this shithead doing color on Phils-Braves? First guess was EriC Byrnes -- is it Chris Singleton?

"Carlos Ruiz is a winning player"

eleven months pass...

30 seconds of listening to Curt Schilling = may the Red Sox lose forever

seven years pass...

"Is there anything more obnoxious than a bachelorette party at the ballpark?" -- ESPN announcer Matt Vasgersian during the Cards-Cubs game.

a bachelor party i suppose

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Friday, 20 July 2018 11:07 (five years ago) link

two weeks pass...

vasgergian is Bad
a-rod is okay but gets repetitive and i don't really like his voice
mendoza is fine but can't get a word in when a-rod keeps going on about how larry rothschild needs to go out there and calm him down

mookieproof, Monday, 6 August 2018 13:07 (five years ago) link

Mendoza spoke at the Saberseminar this weekend, and she said her first year the producer went over her performance with her exhaustively on Monday or Tuesday. I wonder if A-Rod got the same treatment?

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 August 2018 14:03 (five years ago) link

i'd like to give them something of a pass as the pace of that game was excrutiating. arod needs to be less of a motormouth and vasgergian needs to actually take the reins of the conversation sometimes.

call all destroyer, Monday, 6 August 2018 14:14 (five years ago) link

vasgersian has a nice voice. I love A rod and mendoza, they actually like baseball which is a plus

k3vin k., Monday, 6 August 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link

i'm sure a-rod gets the same treatment -- everything i've seen talks about how eager to learn he is. and he is pretty good considering he's never done it before

vasgergian does have a nice voice. but looool at 'don't look now, but the yankees are bringing the tying run to the plate' in the top of the ninth when the yanks were *up* three. also i don't really trust dudes who go for the meticulous unshaven look
