NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Bill King & his co-host( I think his name is Ken Korack) are awesome. Bill King also used to call Raiders games back in the day. His "HOLY TOLEDO" is a classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, they let him go. Orscillo was cheaper, basically. Sean's doing a lot of ESPN stuff now (mostly college sports). Orscillo's grown on me, but that might be because Remy is a good match with him. I also prefer Sean/RemDog over Don/RemDog, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 No, I think the Red Sox dumped him after the season in favor of Orscillo. I remember reading that Sean was really hurt at the Sox dropping him after all the years as their TV voice. Did he sign a new contract and I just missed it?

Guest Mosaicv2 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 That would suck... I enjoy him calling all particular games, the Sox need him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 I know that Sean was only doing Friday Night Baseball on NESN last season, but I didn't hear of him getting dropped. I hope he didn't...I grew up with him announcing the games on WSBK-TV 38. Orsillo isn't bad, but he's no McDonough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Reynolds, Kruk, old guy doing the spring training baseball games. Reynold and Kruk making arguements on the subject of rebuilding/win now strategy for the Dallas Cowboys among other random rants is the reason why I am watching ESPN right now... This is almost as good as watching Bill Walsh announce NBA games. I presume Old Guy = Gary Thorne and Bill Walsh = Bill Walton Yeah I caught the Harold/Kruk/Thorne team during the Atlanta-St. Louis game yesterday afternoon and they were pretty funny because they didn't appear to give a shit. Also, a funny moment, off topic here sorta, was Dick Vitale giving his final four picks on Sportscenter right before the game. He actually picked Carolina over Duke (!?!?), and when he said "CAROLINA WINS IT, BAYBEE!" he put his hands up in that "I dunno" kind of shrug but with a goofy grin, then he held the pose way too long waiting for them to cut, and they didn't cut for like four seconds. It was hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 I was "lucky" enough to hear the Thorne/Karros/Philips broadcasting team, which was mutable. Not as bad as Buck/McCarver, but that's not saying much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Ashburn and Kalas obviously. I guess that I'll make this one fifthed. The chemistry that these two had together can never really be duplicated. They were two old friends with a passion for the game working together and it was magic. I'm guessing that from the mid eighties until the late nineties when Ritchie passed, I must have heard them call around 1000 games and enjoyed their work each and every time.
