    People bash on the Hawk, but John Sterling is AWFUL

    Honestly, people bash on the hawk for being the worst announcer, but John Sterling blows. "A text message from Mark Texeira"? That's terrible. Sure, it his last name and text sound similar, but it isn't clever at all. I was reminded of his terribleness after watching mlb network.

    Pretty common knowledge that Kay is a blowhard. While I personally enjoy Hawk's antics, you can't really deny he's unprofessional at best.

    yup


    Now if you wanted to compare someone like Colin Coheard, who isn't even a broadcaster, then maybe I could agree with someone being worse than the nitwit Harrelson.

    But he is easily the worst broadcaster.

    I hate the Angel announcer who screams "LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!!!" after every Angel home win.

    Just ugh. Off-topic but w/e.

    I would like to be the first person to say you are a moron for confusing Michael Kay from John Stirling.

    "An A-bomb from A-rod"
    "A text message from Teixiera"
    "Oh the Grandy man can, the Grandy man can"
    "El Cap-I-tan"
    "Swish-a-liscious"
    "Robbie Cano, don't ya know"

    All that is John Stirling (radio announcer)

    You wanna know what Michael Kay sounds like?

    "Driven DEEP to right/left/center field, he's at the track, he's at the wall...SEE YA!!!!"

    And lastly, Ken Singleton

    "And this one is GONE!"

    Get your **** right.

    Your guys ******** standard of professional is why all announcers are dry and boring pieces of **** now.

    You people get so easily offended by other team's homer announcers that you force the powers that be to make all of them play nice and professional... and then you turn around and complain there's no personality in broadcasting...

    That's just not true. There's such thing as being personable but not embarrassingly unprofessional. I'm not going to compare him to Vin because that'd be unfair, but a lot of teams have good announcers that aren't incoherent rabbling idiots like Hawk.

    I don't want to listen to a game broadcasted by an ignorant fan.

    I prefer an informative, professional broadcaster who doesn't show his own personal emotions when broadcasting a competitive baseball game.

    Haha, I didn't even notice what he did, I'll change the poll.

    Wow, I didn't realize that. Yankees fans have to deal with the idiot that makes terrible catch phrases AND the guy that says "see ya"?. I thought it was one announcer. That is easily the worst duo in the MLB.

    Lmao. I know. It is awful. But I like Mr. Singleton. And sometimes Al Leiter joins the booth and he is very educational.

    David Cone, Michael Kay, Paul O'Neil make me want to blow my ears out

    O'Neill is great because all he does is joke around and eat. Cone does his advanced stats thing every once in awhile and can also be funny.
