Worst Announcers in Baseball
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg
As a Mets fan I have been forced to watch a great deal of the Washington Nationals over the past two weeks (The Nats are playing all their games against the Mets and Phils these days). The low quality of the Nationals' announcers and their inability to get even the most basic facts right has been unbelievably frustrating. Three examples:
A. Today the Nationals announcer decided to declare that the last 5 world series champs had come from the wild card. Too bad both the '06 Cardinals and the '05 White Sox won their divisions. (He later corrected himself and mentioned that the Cards were not the wild card but still couldn't figure out 2005). This is really really basic stuff.
B. I was watching a game last week where John Maine just got blasted by the Nats.
The announcers kept going off about how untouchable Maine had been, and how this type of shelling is unprecedented. His post all star game ERA? 6.16. What a superstar (I should know he is on my fantasy team). At the very least as an announcer you need to have a basic understanding of what the starting pitchers have been doing lately. This is not too difficult to prepare for.
C. During the game last week someone actually uttered the following phrase "You sometimes wonder if Jim Bowden knows something that others GMs don't" Is that why the Nats are 68-87?
As part of their new stadium, new face, etc... The Nationals should really get some new announcers. I can't believe I'm going to have to spend three more days this week listening to these guys.
TV or radio?
Bob Carpenter on the TV side has not been retained, but Don Sutton will be back.
Charlie Slowes on radio is one of the best in the country, and he is lightyears ahead of Howie Rose.

FF11 is very famous now. My friends like to play it and buy FFXI Gil. If you have money to buy FFXI gold, you will find it is very useful. Earning Final Fantasy XI gold is not so hard. Try your best and then you can get it. I buy FFXI Gil, just because I like it.

we don't think it is reasonable to spend hundreds thousands dollars to buy a decorating watch. you can use those money to invest in other industry which will return you good profit.
here you just need to spend 100-200 dollars to buy a replica rolex watches.
Panerai replica watches are made by the rating 1:1 according to the original watches, and you can't distinguish the original and the fake watches when you look at the surface of the watches.

Bought this for my husband as a Christmas present. I ended up giving it to him early because he had a very important business trip, and I wanted him to look his
best. He absolutely loved it! He loves the large face, and the weight of the watch. It looks so classy
and sophisticated. It added the perfect frosting on my already gorgeous husband!

I suppose it is thethickness of Replica Jacques Lemans that insulates the movement.The luminosity of tReplica Jaeger LeCoultre is great; large hands and markers ensure plenty of room for luminous paint,and I seldom found myself wishing the Holotype glowed more brightly.The 12 clock arrow on the bezel is also painted and glows like a torch,a nice Replica Levis for timing events in less than ideal light.Esthetically,the yellow dial is so much better then I had guesed it would be.I usually stick to black dials on most of my Replica Longines,but I thought I would give the yellow dial a try and I am very glad I did.It is bright and seems to be a semi gloss that reflects just enough light that it stands out from the PVD case;The bracelet Replica Mont Blanc the case in every way.It is thick,solid,quiet,smooth,and didn't pull a single hair from my wrist.All of the links are screwed together so sizing the bracelet is Replica Movado.A quick word of warning: the screws do not seem especially tight from the factory so I recommend sizing he bracelet then tightening each link completely (my failure to do so cost me a tiny screw).You might even consider a little Loctite 242 (Replica Omega).The fold over clasp has a push button release,and has a very secure fliplock.The end links are solid and secured by 24mm screws.The packaging on the Holotype is far more then one would expect.My unit shipped in at tan colored faux leather travel case that houses the watch,warranty card,manual,tools,rubber strap,and polishing cloth.
