I wonder if he can pronounce Gubicza correctly.

I miss Daron Sutton, Mario Impemba, Jerry Reuss, and Sparky Anderson.

Sparky always sounded like he wanted to tell phys he was an idiot.

I literally came to this thread to make that joke. Surprised it took to page 3 to get there

I think they bring a component of levity to the game. I know I’m on pins and needles, and both guys do their part in reminding me it’s a game at day’s end. I personally think their extended riffing on music to be great, but that caters to my own tastes. As far as making assumptions about Gubi’s ‘intellect:’ that’s a subjectively foolish errand. He is paid, in part, to be ‘entertaining.’ We only see the public/paid side of that. For all we know he may dabble in chaos theory, compose 12-tone oratorios for celeste and tuned-percussion, and be in the midst of isolating a genetic genome predictor for cancer on the 21st alleles. But his checks get signed for being the dopey relief—a slightly less four-seam batshit than Hud’s (who I also liked). 

I see way more issue with some of the players than Gubi. Of course Rojas is great, full stop.

Well, yeah. You’d be one place behind me in line, but you get what I’m saying.

harmon killebrew and joe torre were both good color men. not always exciting, but always informative.

i would have enjoyed sparky more if he had been ten years younger. he was still a decent story teller.

here is nobody who hasn't had a lobotomy who can listen to Gubicza or Smith and say, "I like these guys."  It's impossible.  Fact.

Wrong.

I like Terry Smith.

To me Sparky always sounded like he had a few cocktails.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Agreed. Smith has that classic adenoidal delivery—just an old school guy. Sure he calls plays the wrong way at times, but quickly corrects himself.
