NY Boston Fan

Red Sox fans (like myself) are absoultely over the top driven crazy by partisan announcers that seem to be rooting against the Sox. In many cases, we can invent this occurrence when an outsider would probably point out that it probably isn't really going on.

While I thought about commenting on what I found to be an awful broadcasting team for the classic Sox-Yankees ALCS battle (save Al Leiter who could barely get a word in, although those he did get in were generally quite good), I thought about how much more these guys might drive us crazy in the next round, if the Cardinals get through.

Consider:

Buck has been a radio and television announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals since 1991. His broadcasting career began in 1989, while he was an undergraduate at Indiana University. That year he called play-by-play for the Louisville Redbirds of the American Association, a minor league affiliate of the Cardinals....The son of broadcasting legend Jack Buck....He was born April 25, 1969, in St. Petersburg, Fla., the Cardinals spring training home, and was raised in St. Louis where he currently resides...

And:

After signing with the Cardinals in his senior year of high school, McCarver debuted with the Major League team as a seventeen year old in 1959, commencing a twenty-one year Major League career that would span four decades. Earning the role of full-time catcher with the Cardinals in 1963, McCarver excelled at and behind the
plate....From 1964-1969, McCarver developed lifelong friendships with Cardinals’ future Hall of Fame pitchers Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton, who respected his valued insights on opposing hitters. McCarver starred in two more World Series, 1967 and 1968...

Prepare to hear complaints from Red Sox Nation, Fox Sports. And not just about Scooter, the talking baseball.
