(A longer series means more cash for the network.) I just find Caray annoying, even on the TBS Sunday games, and especially his cheerleading when he was with the Cubs and Braves. I don't find that very professional, from the Hawk Harrelson school of broadcasting. <BR/><BR/>To me, he was clearly sounding like he was boasting the Angels. I DO NOT expect any gushing over the Red Sox. But I do expect some objectivity.<BR/><BR/>Martinez is generally a good announcer and it wasn't him I had a problem with. And I'm generally not a guy who whines about announcers in the postseason. And I'm no Joe Morgan fan either.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-68543524689902396372008-10-07T13:54:00.000-04:002008-10-07T13:54:00.000-04:00Red Sox fans really gotta get over this "all annou...Red Sox fans really gotta get over this "all announcers except Jerry and Don suck" thing. <BR/><BR/>Every tandem gets skewered and ripped. I actually thought these guys were really good. I think Buck Martinez brings a good baseball perspective to the game and is enjoyable to listen to. Carey is fine and beats Joe Morgan all day long. <BR/><BR/>The TV game is a business. They want series to go the distance in order to generate more revenue and they want close compelling games that keep the casual viewers tuned in late into the night. Carey is guilty of letting you get that sense a bit more than he should.<BR/><BR/>You are not going to get National commentators to gush about the Sox. <BR/><BR/>I thought these guys were fine, knowledeable, and didnt overpower the game. <BR/><BR/>We need to get over this.Dan Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593183991914453381noreply@blogger.com
