Why does Joe Buck get to do the World Series and LCS every fucking goddamn year?!

This has been now, what 20 years?

Enough already with his ignorant, east coast (and St. Louis) biased crap.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

homophobic slurs

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Oct 16, 2015, 08:16 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nah.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's fine. Both sexes can engage in butt fucking.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Homophobic? Lol. First of all, heterosexuals engage in anal sex. Secondly, the politer "bumfuck" has long been used to refer to a remote, nondescript location. Like "boondocks", another near homonym. Oh, and "homonym" is not a gender term either.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

So you would get one year of the ABC crew of (some combination of) Cosell, Keith Jackson, Jim Palmer or Al Michaels.

The next year you would get Scully and Joe Garagiola. Garagiola was terrible with his long droning stories about the good ole' days.

CBS started doing the series in 1990, and it was Jack Buck, who was very good and Tim McCarver, who was and is terrible.

Madison Bumgarner basically won the world series by himself, for fuck's sake. He's given up one run in three world series. That's historic. Unprecedented. If you're not impressed by that you're a bad person or you don't like baseball.

Also Buster Posey is basically Jesus except better because he exists.

Red Sox

So the announcers actually have to comment on teams that are not those!

Everytime he says that, I want to slap him. McCarver rambled and usually made no sense, but he at least knew something about baseball at one point. All Joe Buck knows is his stupid tagline I quoted above.
