I was directed to this link from another blog. Awful Announcing, I believe.
See, I don't think the fans complain too much about the length of the games or the length of the schedule. (Yes, I know, if they complained, then they wouldn't be fans in the first place.)
But think of Lupica who can't get jazzed unless he sees four HRs in a game and it has to be against the Red Sox. Think of how often Sterling and Waldman complain about the late-night travel. Think of all the umpires, coaches, managers, and GMs who want to speed up the games.
To them, it's a joyless job.
It's a baker trying to get excited about another loaf of bread.
It shows in their work.
It's fine if you're not a baseball fan. Really, it is. There's no particular pride in being a fan of anything, nor is there an obligation.
Joe Buck should be true to himself and do us all a favor: Find another job.
