Ernie Johnson is the man and even though I have not heard him do PbP much, if at all, he certainly figures to be better than anything Captain Fisted ever had to offer. Overall it looks like a good line-up, certainly much better now that Chip Caray is no longer with TBS to tell us that balls are getting fisted foul. Goodbye, Chip. We'll miss you.
Meh. I've seen a few games of Ernie's either on TBS or Peachtree TV. I'm not gonna quibble too much over him as the #1 PbP.
ReplyDeleteNext year, it would be nice to have Vin Scully (in probably his final year) do the NLCS when TBS gets it back. That's just a little pie in the sky...
I was in such a hurry to get this out I made the horrible error of saying this looks like an overall good line-up with Dick Stockton in the line-up.
ReplyDeleteThen again, it can be reasonably assumed that in order to be a line-up, it is necessary to be an actual person. The only thing left of Dick Stockton is an annoying talking corpse.
