Old timers claim that McCarver was once a darned good analyst, back when he started out. But he got dumber and dumber as he went along and the English language became more and more foreign. One glorious moment still sticks with me, from I think the 2004 ALCS, when he said that "a walk is as good as a home run" … assuming the next guy hits a home run.revbob wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 7:42amAnd that asshole Tim McCarver doing his Andy Griffith act.Mimi wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 7:33amYep.

He's a natural at this. I mean, I heard he loved the game so much that he never shut up about it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 Jun 2019, 6:41pm
I quit after it was 9-6(?) because I couldn't stand Joe Buck anymore (plus I knew the Sox weren't coming back). Either my tolerance has completely eroded or he's gotten worse, but he fucking ruins games for me now.

Re: MLB 2019
That occurred to me too, athletes get constant physicals though, irregular heartbeats get detected, don't they? I immediately thought of Darryl Kile, and I see on comment sections that so did a ton of other people. I guess we'll find something out eventually.

Re: MLB 2019
You'd think that'd be detected given all their physicals, but maybe it's something that you have to look for to find. It is nonetheless hard to fathom how a pro athlete would just die while a fat-ass fast food addict like Trump keeps on.

This is so sad. Both the baseball player dying and the fact that Trump is still alive.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 8:44pmYou'd think that'd be detected given all their physicals, but maybe it's something that you have to look for to find.

The Tarrant County (Texas) Medical Examiner estimates the autopsy report for Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs will be completed in early October.

Really? I assume some kind of initial report will be made within a few days so that, y'know, his family can move on a bit.
