It's not always about calling a game. To me, they just tell a story well, and keep the viewer involved. The guys in Seattle make you just fall asleep. I agree that Sutton isn't that great, but Mark Grace is still awesome, or Big League, as it were. Everyone has their own favorites, and these are mine. Mind you, this list was written in the 2007 season, so things are bound to change. The only reason I like the Giants guys so much is that they know how to entertain.

I hate the homers like the White Sox guys, and the guys from Seattle and both sides of the Bay Area. Yeah, maybe the Giants announcers are more neutral now that steroids Bonds is gone. but they were nauseating last year. And they're still rooting for those 70 wins Giants this year. The Marlins announcers give a strsightforward call on the game while being honest and mostly neutral and besides that, they have a sense of humor. The Cardinals announcers are equally excellent. Hrabosky and McLaughlin will call it like they see it. I hate homers like Harrelson, I automatically mute him and him a-licking sidekicks. Too bad you don't get the SD announcers, Vasgersian, Gwynn and Grant are knowlegeable and honest. Mark Grace is as good as anyone, too bad Daron Sutton isn't as good as his dad that does an ok job on the Nats games. The Yankees announcers are homers, nut at least seem to try to give out all the info they have. Josh Lewin does a fine job on the Rangers games, I don't see why Fox let him go. Fox keeps saying they'd like to attract younger viewers but they keep dipstick McCarver while letting younger, hipper Lyons and Lewin get away.

He will set there and tell you that the players afto do it this way thay he says. Or when thing that her thinks are not right for his team is we will get it changed. He plays with your brain. He also never tells you about the good put of the other team. They always a having people in the both, and talking with them during the other team is batting to say that team does not mader.I think that RICK MANNING is truley the worst around sports, He will never show or tell you that his team made a bad play or are looking bad. I say get him off the air let MATT UNDERWWOD find someone else. I think that the worst announcer in baseball,is RICK MANNING for the Indians.
