FOX's Terrible Broadcasting


 Since 1996, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver have been broadcasting Fox's Saturday Baseball and World Series coverage. This year is no different as they have once again joined forces to commentate this year's World Series. Joe buck has been shot down by many as a terrible play-by-play man, who has lost his emotion for the game and as son of the late great announcer Jack Buck, is a disgrace to the family name. As for Tim McCarver, he has been doing World Series since the dawning of the age of Aquarius. But why? Listening to McCarver is like listening to Joe Morgan (who was finally let go by ESPN). Certainly McCarver is past his prime and just typing this post up is making me hate these two more and more. 

Let's take a look at these two broadcasting stooges and what they have brought to this year's World Series.....

Joe Buck led off the World Series with as much fanfare as having a zit popped. Buck began this year's telecast by apologizing to the world.....(Apologies myself for the audio quality)



In game 2, Buck decided to discuss where Journeyman Colby Lewis has played ball in his career. After putting up this graphic we all should have noticed one big mistake, especially those of you from St. Louis. Last time I checked Kansas City was in Missouri right there with St. Louis. Those at FOX feel that KC is in Kansas but who am I to judge?

FOX is not smarter than a fifth grader

Tim McCarver decided to woo us with his spelling abilities this year but must have disregarded math way back when.......


Oh and while I'm on the subject of Joe Buck, he also mentioned in one game that Hamburgers were invented in Athens, Texas. Being from Connecticut I am truly offended by this as most of us in New England know that hamburgers were invented in New Haven at Louie's Lunch. Hell even the Library of Congress recognizes Louie's Lunch as the creator of the great hamburger and if the government says it's true it must be.....right?
