Vin Scully is one of the best baseball announcers ever, ever been to Dodger Stadium and watch the fans ther with thier radios listening to Scully tell them what they are watching. I cant stand the Dodgers, but Vin is a classic, and a joy ot listen to.,,,On the other hand, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are at the bottom of the totem pole. I dont mind Buck that much but McCarver is the worst announcer I have ever heard. If its not on the teleprompter hes not talking, and he has the passion of someone thats vacumning a rug. I rather listen to the my XM radio in my car than watch the same game on TV with McCarver calling it.

I think Vin Scully is excellent. I also think that McCarver and Buck are excellent.
Fox would serve Baseball fans better by creating a trio of Scully, McCarver and Buck.
The better team would be Joe Morgan and Tim McCarver. Joe Morgan is one of the better 2nd Basemen in Baseball History and Tim McCarver was great behind the plate. Catchers and 2nd Baseman are very intelligent ballplayers and make great sports commentators.

I've thought for years that McCarver needed to be given the same treatment Michael Vick gave to his lesser quality dogs, but that's just me.
As for Vincent, he's pretty up there in age and the extra traveling schedule would probably be too much on him.
John Francis was a good as it got in the broadcast booth and Joe is accomplished in his own right. Granted he's spreading himself thin with baseball and football at the same time, but that's his business and FOX's.

I can live with Scully. Buck wouldn't have a job right now if it wasn't b/c he's the son of his more famous father. All Joe cares about is talking about what movie he went to watch or going ga ga over what celebrities are at the game.

Since both are infamously tied to the St. Louis Cardinals, I'd naturally be pretty upset.

I'd actually watch a game on Fox with the sound up.
