Fox Sports MLB coverage is particularly annoying ...

the way they boost the crowd noise during every play. We can guess the reaction without having it waved in our face.

That is all.

Unless you find Joe Buck particularly annoying too.

For Giants/Cubs I listened to our local radio guys Duane Kuiper, Mike Krukow (best in the business), Jon Miller and Dave Fleming.

For Cleveland/Boston/Toronto I listen to Tom Hamilton via the MLB AtBat app through my iPhone. There is a delay, but if you have a DVR you can pause the video action and sync the two. Tom Hamilton is a lot of fun. Of course he's biased. But he's also knowledgeable and shares good insight -- not as deep as Krukow, but more so than the network guys. I'll be listening to Hamilton call the World Series.

"Fox Sports coverage is particularly annoying ..." There. I fixed it for you. Remember when they had hockey and all you saw was this glowing streak flashing across the ice?!

Yeah, the NFL coverage is just as annoying. How many years have we seen that fucking robot?

Hockey is off my radar. Can't comment.
