I was listening to the game on Sirius. Who is the STL radio announcer? I'm assuming it was an STL guy. He was god awful. Slow talker, boring man.

Lately, Mr. Schmo would come to the conclusion that you are a dipshit troll. I am now fully realizing why you have been excommunicated from this place 75 times.

That was most likely Mike Shannon. He will routinely go 7-8 pitches between saying something game-related.

I must be a really good troll if I'm able to troll the best team in baseball

If I'm trolling anything, it's their God awful fans. The Cardinals are fantastic and I can only imagine what it would take for you morons to be happy. 80-20? Could the Cardinals win 122 games one season and still have fans complaining about their all star catcher, closer and manager??

First off, your obsession with Cardinal fans is downright psychotic. Secondly, I know I am happy with how the season and has started and even the most critical of fans are also happy. But you see people talking baseball and more specifically talking about criticisms of the team, and you immediately jump to acting like Cardinal fans are morons.

You're probably talking about Rooney. It's pretty easy to tell who the 4 possible guys are:

Mike Shannon - old guy. Sounds old. Sounds drunk. Generally pretty funny but rarely informative. He's just pickled and fairly hilarious these days. Doesn't have the chops for true play by play anymore but is a nice addition as a color guy.

John Rooney - The standard, straight play by play guy. Yeah, he's dry but he has to be to work alongside Shannon. And unlike Hagan before him, he's actually interesting when he wants to be. Extremely informative, very knowledgeable. All told, he's as good as any of the newer baseball guys out there.

Ricky Horton - Extremely nasal voice; tough to listen to on the radio. That said, also very informative especially on the pitching side of the house. He reminds me a bit of when Orel Hershiser would do television. Good complementary piece but couldn't carry a call on his own.

Mike Claiborn - He's the black one. I hear him every few weeks. He's insanely forgettable. He tends to be a bit of a company mouthpiece for the most part. I feel like he's essentially the radio version of Al Hraboski but somehow even less interesting. He's just there. Doesn't hurt - doesn't help.

Oh, and I think Jay Randolph has shown up on occasion this year. If he's on your radio, just drive into a tree and save yourself the headache. Jay Randolph is the worst broadcaster in the history of broadcasters. He'd make an orgy of Playmates sound boring and would probably start calling tits elbows by the 5 minute mark. He is awful.

If it helps, he kept breathing heavy into the Mic. He must've fallen asleep in the late innings because another guy took over, I'm assuming Mike.

Yeah, Mike rarely makes it to the end. Musta been Shannon.

More than likely you will have another big division lead by the time we hit town on Thursday night.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-20-2015, 11:25 AM

Shannon and Claiborne did the PBP yesterday. Claiborne picked it up later in extras.

Psychotic? Wow. A bit strong I'd say. I wouldn't even post in this thread if it wasn't for my strong personal distaste for bdj23. I mean, he's so aggressive it makes it too much fun to not passive aggressively troll this fanbase. And besides, I'm always super complimentary to the actual Cardinals franchise. One of the best franchises in all of sports. They could use a better fan base, though.
