If I had to choose between one of them I would take Buck.
I grew up listening to McCarver and hated him w the mets but enjoyed him somewhat better when he went National. I used to love when Kiner would get a little sauced and argue with McCarver. The distain that McCarver had for Kiner was great, lol!
I like Joe Buck - don't know why everyone hates him. Bob Costas is so annoying. Joe Davis as I said has done well and really nailed the Harper homer.

Joe Buck doing golf sealed it for me. He went on and on about Mickleson and his tap putt in a tourney and he lost it. That tirade he did galvanized my disdain of him.

When he hit the rolling ball?!?! He should have been DQ'd. I don't remember what Buck said, but he was probably right.
Also, Buck is good.
McCarver is not.
Costas sucks. Pretty sure he is not aware that baseball after the year 2000 exists.

I liked Costas and McCarver for no other reason than they reminded me of being a kid. At some point you realize they both suck - one for jerking himself off to the same nostalgia at like 70 years old and believing their own bullshit (Costas) and the other for being a windbag.

Oh I know he should have but to see him go off about it when the pro announcers weren't that up in arms was funny.

Listening to Buck last night only makes me wish he was calling the World Series more. Joe Davis is the definition of blah to me....although his Harper call was really good. I will give him that.

You don't think Buck and Aikman sound and delivery is alike?

Buck and Davis, you mean? I do think they are similar...which is all the more reason why Davis is blah. He's like a generic knock off version of Buck, without Buck's wit.

I do not agree with that - I think Davis matches Buck on silence, letting the moment breath, not talking too much, etc etc. But I think he actually lends emotion to his calls, as oppose to Buck who can turn the volume up but it's the same tone. What makes Buck good is the wry wit and deadpan humor, though.

The layoff is dumb. Why make a big fuss about playing 5 games in 5 days in the LCS or whatever it was and all this talk about rushing the postseason to get all the games in....

They have to account for if the LCS' go 7 games though.

Also, Buck is good.

McCarver I do think is bad too, Joe Morgan was another one I didn't get. He wasn't good either.
TWIB was awesome
