Shut Up Tim McCarver!
The Family Guy Clip Below tells it all. Anyone who has ever listened to this broadcaster try to commentate a baseball game knows that he is BY FAR the worst announcer in the history of the world.
Here are some quotes that supports the aforementioned statement. It helps if you read the quotes in McCarvers slow, in coherent, southern drawl accent.
"This is the first time in major league history, except for the strike season, included, where there was no 20-game winner" - McCarver apparently thinking that the shortened season would yield more wins than normal.
During Game 5 of the 2006 NLCS, on a pitch to Jose Reyes, McCarver says, “That pitch wasn’t down and in, that pitch was down and up.”
2004 ALCS, Game 5 Red Sox vs. Yankees . David Ortiz hit a home run into right field. Tim: "Mt. Everest erupts again!"...too bad Mt. Everest isn't a volcano.
"Pitching is such a vital part of the game, as far as winning is concerned" How Eloquent...
1993 World Series, Phillies vs. Blue Jays: "Watch Darren Daulton use his mitt like a glove." I wish I coulda heared him say that...
"There is a world of difference between a count of one ball and two strikes is a lot different situation than hitting with two strikes and one ball." Thanks captain obvious...
During a meeting at the mound between the pitcher and catcher, "You see Colon talking into his glove because David Ortiz, from the Dominican Republic, can obviously read lips in Spanish." he was serious when he said this folks
"Pedro Martinez as a pitcher is as wily as a wolverine." That is the only time I laughed with him
"Half of the Yankees' regulars this year have not been regulars." What an idiot
"If you lead off and you play every day, you're guaranteed to bat with the bases empty at least 162 times." Again, he is serious
"Gary Sheffield just hammered the high fastball. Not many major leaguers can do that." Probably the stupidest thing ever muttered

Jeff Bagwell Enlightens People
Quick story on one night while I was at college. I went to a college in Connecticut which happens the be the same college that Jeff Bagwell,former Houston Astro all-star, attended.
The sports program decided to have an alumni dinner honoring his achievements in the Major Leagues. After the dinner he went to a local dive bar that everyone always goes to at the end of every night because it is cheap and near campus. I happened to be friends with a few of the baseball players at my school and they introduced me to him as he was there to indulge in some memories I guess. I bought him a shot of Jagermeister that he declined to take before I eventually persuaded him to take with me. I noted that he should be the one buying shots as I was just a poor college kid and he was a multi-millionaire. we toasted to Andy and Roger having a great season.(It was the winter before Andy Petite's and Roger Clemens' first year in Houston)He offered me a cigar, I obliged. Fair enough.
While we were briefly chatting, I asked him about steroids and the impact they had on professional baseball. I was shocked to have him tell me that at least 80% of players use or have used steroids at one point in their career. I was expecting him to maybe tell me that 30% or 40% of people use it, but 80%!
I also mentioned to him that if he wanted to meet any of the girls in there bar I could introduce him to the one of his choice. He laughed, thought about it, then said he was married. I jokingly said "So?"
In general he was a pretty friendly and I always appreciated his curt honesty.
Ah to be a pimp again...
