Think of the talent it takes to keep fans interested in a game after 3 innings and behind 7-0. Definitely have more talent than the pretend MLB pitcher who put them behind 7-0.

Actually, many don’t want to hear the truth…..if they ripped the team…there would be a deluge of complaints

You might remember when larussa was stopped for DWI in Florida…

I have a friend that works for channel 2…he told me that their phones blew up with complaints that channel 2 was even reporting the story..

Can’t badmouth the local boys…

It’s mostly Horton. Rooney a d Claiborne are not as bad. I was so happy when they took Ricky off of tv. The relentless positivity and excuse making gets old fast.

Horton SUCKS, total Homer, get rid of him,
Claiborne is Awful at play by play, just Awful. Replace
Rooney is serviceable but needs help, he should be your 3rd.

Get Danny Mac in to replace Horton and Claiborne, that's a huge upgrade until you can find a 2nd.

while i agree baghdad is better at the mechanics of play by play......it doesn't address the extreme spin and blatant homering

Don't listen to the Cards broadcast. Listen to the opposing teams crew.
