Menefee?
Good thing I don't watch baseball.....
Bad in football, what could happen in baseball?
what happened to the other 1% of our nation. Do they get infomercials???
Since Fox is using more local announcers, we are inching ever closer to the possibility of Curt Menefee & Rod Allen doing a game together.
Mike: Have you ever heard of rounding?
So many questions.....
1) Where did this lineup come from? It seems so random.
2) How did Curt Menefee get in this? Im sure there were plenty of other announcers over Menefee that could call this game. And its MY game, the ChiSox game. Ugh.
3) Where is Buck? And NOW where is McCarver. Not that I necessarily want them back, but if they're supposed to be the #1 team, shouldn't they be around more oftern?
D-Backs-Braves have both D-Back announcers doing the game?
Man, that shouldn't be biased reporting. AT ALL.
As a DBacks fan, i love that Sutton and Gracie are doing the announcing (obviously), but i'd be willing to bet that if you didn't konw they were the Dback announcers that you wouldn't figure it out during the broadcast.
They're both great at being objective when the time calls for it, such as a national broadcast.
Rick, Curt Menefee is nowhere near local. He started in Dallas, and went to New York, no Chicago stops. If Fox was going local, then where's DJ?
I should have said "more local color analysts;" Fox usually goes with at least one local or FSN analyst a week. DJ was on the call of the Barrett-Pierzynski fight game for Fox two years ago, if I'm not mistaken. That would mean the Cleveland-Detroit game June 7 will more than likely have either Rod Allen or Rick Manning as an analyst.
Wow, Menefee might be so bad that he could crash this site for good.
