McCarver and Buck open the broadcast by fellating the Dodgers are talking about how badly the Phillies have sucked. Wonderful.

I think it would be cool if the networks would hire the teams’ regular season announcers for the home games. I mean, I hate the Dodgers, but if the Dodgers win a postseason series at home, it should be accompanied by Vin Scully yelling his head off.
