I don't know if it was John Rooney on those broadcasts last year but it was downright embarrassing. They would digress into stories that just were incoherent at times.<br /><br />Shannon in the long line of Cardinals broadcasters like Jack Buck (RIP) with that smokers voice rev'd up on a 6-pack already swallowed.Gonathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622413303529086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-61761505945739699772013-03-02T07:40:58.074-05:002013-03-02T07:40:58.074-05:00BUT--don't be clicking on the players' sta...BUT--don't be clicking on the players' stats while you are driving, yeah, that's not good. :)NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-77246858866931646362013-03-02T07:38:59.222-05:002013-03-02T07:38:59.222-05:00Yeah, the audio is under $30 and you take it any w...Yeah, the audio is under $30 and you take it any where, your iPhone, Android tablet, computer, whatever, and for practice, you can listen in Spanish (if it's offered). The only time I listen on an actual radio radio is in my car or at the ballpark on a headset (because the Internet is chancy there--I hope they improve that.)<br /><br />A nice feature is that as you are listening you can click on the players and it brings up their complete MLB stats. This is helpful in ST when you have no IDEA who these guys are. <br /><br />I didn't find the ATL announcers objectionable. Of course they are focused on their own team, but so are ours focused on the Nats. They did giggle and get off-topic, but so do Charlie &Dave (too much, sometimes). The Upton brothers advert is funny! You would not hear that on our stations. :)<br /><br />Not looking forward to the Cards announcers, though.

I liked reading the feedback here on what Jordan needs to do and to think with the changeup he would throw the same 4 pitches as Verlander is amazing.<br /><br />I hope he gets some videos of Verlander and studies them along with his 2 catchers.Gonathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622413303529086490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-42636142239320792582013-03-01T21:59:03.247-05:002013-03-01T21:59:03.247-05:00WBC Australia vs Taipei tonight at 11:30 pm EST. ...WBC Australia vs Taipei tonight at 11:30 pm EST.

If they keep Rivero Tracy becomes the third level backup at first and third and Rivero the UTL in the field. Rivero might just get a slot because of Espy and his rotator cuff. But he's got to hit convincingly. So far only Rendon has been doing that.perichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669200119049715758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-30990377884500973372013-03-01T21:36:36.037-05:002013-03-01T21:36:36.037-05:00Tracy has a guaranteed contract.
