    The Joe and Jon team were outstanding at times. They'll catch on elsewhere.

    Woooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Firejoemorgan.com finnaly got it's way, although it was dedicated to a lot more than just Morgan. He is quite possibly the worst announcer in all of sports, he is the only announcer that can possibly relate every aspectvo a game back to himself. Miller sucks balls too, even though he has one of the best calls ever.

    You guys are idiots if you think Miller sucks. Morgan, yes, I understand, but Miller's sweet.
  • igotid88igotid88 Posts: 27,813
    i think miller's gone also.

    That sucks.

    I will not miss Morgan at all, but Miller is like Prarie Home Companions' Garrison Keiler... a voice that cannot be replaced.

    Joe Morgan was bad, but not nearly as bad as Tim McCarver... How that clown still has a job boggles my mind.

    Jon MIller to me just has one of those comforting voices to listen to call a game...

    I'm not thrilled that Jon Miller won't be back, but if that's what it takes to get rid of Morgan, so be it. He is my least favorite baseball announcer of all time. I'm not a McCarver fan but I'd take him any day over Morgan.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I liked Jon Miller. I usually don't watch b-ball but his voice would lull me into watching for a while.
  • BinauralJamBinauralJam Posts: 14,158
    McCarver and Joe Buck need to go as well.

    Buck has quickly become the most over rate commentator.

    We need some Keith Jackson resurection. Whoa Nellie
    81 is now off the air

    I don't think Harold would consider going back to work for Disney / ABC / ESPN.

    Has anyone else noticed that ex-ESPN people seem a little more carefree after leaving and going elsewhere?

    I agree completely. I liked Buck when he started doing play-by-play on Fox in the mid-nineties but at this point he's insufferable. At least Artie Lange was able to get to him: (NSFW)

    morgan also thinks every black player that's ever stepped on a baseball diamond is great. thank god he's gone. as long as they don't replace him with buck martinez, aaron boone, or rick sutcliffe I'll be happy
