Yes he does mess up on names sometimes but at least he is self-deprecating about it and will apologize if he has time to correct it. <br /><br />What is nice about Miller is his voice sounds natural and not like a switch was flipped when the game started.

And yes, Miller's lower back has to be killing him from carrying Morgan all of these years. I agree with dcs that Miller isn't as good on ESPN broadcasts and I think that has something to do with not being as familiar with other teams as he is the Giants and being distracted by frequent thoughts of choking Joe Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154073118485950602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-830195964748883452010-02-03T13:11:37.451-05:002010-02-03T13:11:37.451-05:00I think that Joe Castiglione, the radio announcer ...I think that Joe Castiglione, the radio announcer of the Boston Red Sox, is deserving of this award.<br /><br />He has been with the team since 1983 and has had many memorable calls for such a great franchise, including the 2004 ALCS comeback and the 2004 World Series.<br /><br />"Can you BELIEVE IT??"<br /><br />I have never heard Jon Miller call a Giants game locally, so my opinion dcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019003779734768368noreply@blogger.com
