No kidding
Hrabosky is a tool of the infinite degree. The only way to watch a Cardinals game without Joe Buck at the mike is to listen to the play by play on the radio with Mike Shannon.
Aside from the stating the obvious and professing psychic abilities, the only thing I really hate about sports announcers is when they switch sides during the course of the game. McCarver and Phil Simms are the two that come immediately to mind. Start the game fawning over the projected winner and when they start to fumble and plod, immediately start bad mouthing them to avoid looking like idiots. Using a lot of doom and gloom metaphors and the like. It's distasteful.
