05/10: Note to FOX Announcers: Look at Your Media Guides

Posted by: James

These announcers have been something else today...

They've gotten the number of outs in the inning wrong, they've called A-Rod "Pudge", mispronounced Derek Jeter's last name...but this takes the cake. They started talking about Joba and to illustrate, they cut to a shot of the Yankee bullpen and focus in on...Chris Britton. You might think I am being harsh...but a couple seconds later, they came back to the same shot and said, "and there you see Joba Chamberlain..." Awesome.

Come on guys, I know you're national announcers and all but this kids been on magazines, newspapers, ESPN and commercials.

James, you're expecting too much of FOX. But at least there's no Tim McCarver, he woulda called him Joe-buh Chaberlane.

Yeah, I agree with you, not only are Dick Stockton and Eric Karros clueless, they are completely devoid of personality. Neither of them as said anything remotely interesting or informative all day.

When the Yanks were playing the White Sox, everyone over on the LoHud blog was killing the White Sox announcers, especially Kenny Harrelson, for being homers, but I would much rather listen to those guys.

Yeah, for real. I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices that. Remember back in the day when fox had that cool catchers cam, where the catchers would wear a camera on their facemasks? What happened to those days?

Haha yeah, it's not what it used to be. I also caught them saying "Abre-O" as well. I mean how could we not? Both announcers were saying that throughout the game.
