The 'chuckle-hut' as some like to call it can get a bit ridiculous at time, especially after a tough loss, but this is BASEBALL for crying out loud. If you don't want to listen to KNBR, there are plenty of other stations to turn to.<br /><br /> Krukow and Kuiper are PAID GIANTS EMPLOYEES, and are NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OBJECTIVE. Yes, they are paid to describe and analyze the game, but their core audience is made up of Giants' fans. The same goes for those who listen to Marty Lurie's long pre and post game shows. That's what most KNBR listeners want to hear, and that's what KNBR gives them. <br /><br /> Again, if you want to hear a more balanced analysis with less humor and giggles, you should turn on ESPN or switch over to 'The Game.'

He's lost his credibility. He is constantly insisting that some slumping hitter is coming out of a slump when he isn't or how the old Timmy is back when he's not. His perpetual Giants booster-ism is tiring. And worse yet, Krukow is preachy.
