its not bad on this base at all. except that its run by the air force, and the air force is a bunch of idiots who can’t run a network. so the morale internet and the work internet is the same. i can’t get onto firejoemorgan.com, and i’ve missed so much baseball off and on the last couple years it isn’t funny. and if there’s ever a giants game on AFN, which is rare, its 5 am (like right now). but yeah, we’re excepting massive tv donations with satellite….

It’s sort of amazing how many teams have announce crews that’re just horrible. Not just mediocre but actively, nails-on-the-blackboard terrible. How these people keep their jobs for years and years is beyond me.
Agree
in general, SF teams have pretty awesome announcers. Starkey has some senile moments, but he’s pretty good. I think Kruk/kuip are one of the best local announcing teams out there.
No doubt
But a lot of markets just don’t know what good announcing is. Plus, SF is one of the rare places where ridiculous, blatant homerism doesn’t fly
