Around SBN: The Definitive Case For Will Muschamp, Part 1 Bar-right-arrows



Open Game Thread 8/10 part 2: The Threadocalypse

In a Sabean Vs Colletti head-to-head no holds barred matchup of who has the more ignominious trading history,  I think Sabean wins by a nose.   Of course, he has been doing this for longer and is probably nearing the end of his Giants tenure so....  I like Colletti's upside.

He offers good insight. His voice is really monotone though and he takes… a lot of… pauses.

Kuip sounded awful when he first started too. He will learn. I think Aurilia will be a really good announcer if he so chooses to enter that field when he’s done playing.

by Hobbes2d on Aug 10, 2008 2:10 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

CSN Bay Area showed a game from 1987 with Kuiper announcing a few days back. He was much more of a homer then, shouting, “get outta here!” on home run balls.
