No one expects the home teams announcers to be impartial. I like watching the STL game on the MLB package even its not in HD instead of watching say the Giants broadcast of the same game in HD. You just get more info on your team.

One of my favorite memories is game 6 of the NLCS in 85 right after Clark hit his bomb...Garagiola and Scully were calling the game...Scully started in on how the Dodgers really missed Steve Howe and Garagiola countered with something like "yeah the Cardinals had to wonder who would replace Bruce Sutter." Scully
after that.
Last night Scully was obsessed with Lynn's velocity. He acted like he was some newcomer called up that no one had heard of (despite his post season last year). He throws a fastball for 94 and he says 89 or 90 then says "Lynn is far from an overpowering guy, they say he has touched 98 at times, but we haven't seen anything close tonight." He's always been the master of the subtle dig, but now he is just ignorant. He had a great career and has a great radio voice, but he appeared to be a dithering old has been last night.
