He sounds professional and authoritative, but he also has a lot of fun. He and Jim Palmer have great chemistry.<BR/><BR/>Orioles Magic - I miss the days when TBS still had the Braves. For a year or two in the mid-90s, we also got WWOR and Mets games. I soaked up as much baseball as I could in those years.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334533396646438555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-83541159652833824492009-04-08T11:10:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:10:00.000-04:00That is a hilarious nickname.And I love watching a...That is a hilarious nickname.<BR/><BR/>And I love watching any baseball game that is televised too, especially assuming the O's aren't playing. Which is why the first week or two of the season is great for me. If you subscribe to DirecTv, you get the MLB package for free right now, so I was watching the game mix channel last night with 5 different games going for a couple minutes. AWESOME.Orioles Magichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085728385152662466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-77420916997188716562009-04-08T11:01:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:01:00.000-04:00I really enjoy watching other games, and a big rea...I really enjoy watching other games, and a big reason is the announcers. Baseball just leaves itself open for such good banter. And as far as other teams go, the Cubs have one of the best announcing crews, conversely the other WGN crew for the Chisox is extremely annoying. Just can't take Hawk Harrelson.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed spring training on MLB network, got to see all kinds of broadcasts that I hadn't seen or heard before.dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633750324558738343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-48218057376186429842009-04-08T01:30:00.000-04:002009-04-08T01:30:00.000-04:00I remember when Traber did that.

I don't know where he ended up after the D-Backs let him go.Matt Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386635541020320778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-28801502489426119502009-04-08T00:46:00.000-04:002009-04-08T00:46:00.000-04:00You watch any game because you love baseball.
