I don't know if it's that Giants fans are so unexposed to better options, or just can't find it in them to admit something about the Giants franchise sucks, but I don't know how anyone on earth can say they actually "enjoy" Krukow and Kuiper. I'm literally shocked to come here and find people actually liking them! By far the worst broadcast team I've ever listened to, I can barely stand to watch the games with the sound on. <br /><br />First of all, "homers" is an understatement. I feel like I'm listing to someone's dorky, creepy, sexist uncles. I'm a male, and the "gamer babes" thing is just degrading. The fact that any female Giants fans play into this is even more sad. All of my female friends who watch sports, actually like sports, they don't pretend to like sports to get attention from guys, which is what the "gamer babes" is about. <br /><br />And people consider them informative??? They have more useless commentary than any broadcast team in MLB. I feel like 90% of the commentary is about "the kid eating the big ice cream", or "the technique of the guy who caught the foul ball". And as far as the commentary on the actual games, they take biased to a ridiculous level. Nothing is ever actually a Giant's players fault, it's always "the umpire", "the weather", "a small mistake", or some other tiny detail out of the players' control that keeps the team from being a "top to bottom all-star roster" lol.<br /><br />The most annoying thing by far is Duane Kuiper's constant beyond overboard yelling every single slightly positive Giants play ever. It's ridiculous. Every single base hit, caught fly ball, run scored, is a "TOP OF MY LUNGS BEST PLAY IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL!!!" level of commentary. I seriously don't know how people stand it??!! And the home run call... "OUTTA HERE!!!" Good Lord. Make it stop.<br /><br />Thank God I'm an American league fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-11615892113562263092015-06-24T21:00:46.514-07:002015-06-24T21:00:46.514-07:00"No score in the game" has slipped into ..."No score in the game" has slipped into the vernacular in recent years. Everyone knows it means 0-0. Flemming and Miller and everyone else who says it on-the-air is perfectly well aware that it's not really accurate, that there IS a score in the game if it's 0-0. They've probably gotten 10,000 letters about that, but they say it anyway because it's become part of how we talk in America today and that's what they're all about.

I heard an emailer one day sent one about Krukow telling his kids that whatever they could get away with in sports , Ex. cheating, was ok to do. He said to Gary that he didn't actually say that on the air. I heard him say it on the air, he's a liar. He loves the cheats when they're on the Giants. Bonds, Melky Cabrera, whatever that ahole's name is. He's the reason the giants got to the world series that yr., MEAT. Why does Krukow always have a ball in his hands doing the games? Insecurity I'm guessing. If I ever meet up with Krukow, I'll say it to his large face, Meat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-86239061182576667222013-06-08T19:07:31.901-07:002013-06-08T19:07:31.901-07:00Flemming is an insufferable mono toned nerd, Perio...Flemming is an insufferable mono toned nerd, Period, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-57974928171259806772013-06-04T20:45:42.784-07:002013-06-04T20:45:42.784-07:00Please don't ever again mention Atlee Hammaker...Please don't ever again mention Atlee Hammaker, Candy Maldonando, Johnny LeMaster, Livan Hernandez and, worst of all, Salomon Torres.

His knowledge, insights, delivery and, above all, wonderful sense of humor, made his tenure in the broadcast booth the gold standard for this or ANY market. We'll miss you Hank! I loved Lon, but he was a little TOO understated, especially for radio. When Lon didn't have anything to say, he didn't say anything. Too much dead air. Kruk and Kuip are a hell of a team. Krukow's insight's and humor are unmatched in this or any market and Duane Kuiper has become one of the great voices in broadcasting. Of course Hruk anf Kuip learned and mastered their craft under the tutelage of the master, Hank Greenwald. Kruk and Kuip are the best baseball broadcast team I have ver heard in any market, and I have heard quite a few. They are AWESOME! Jon Miller is very good and would seem great if we weren't so spoiled with other great Giants broadcasters. The worst, by a long, long way, is Fleming. The guy's voice is grating and his lack of any real experience playing the game is obvious when he gives his uninformed opinions of what's going on. On top of that, he is a consistently whining critic of the Giants. He's like those crappy uber-bitchy "fans" in sports dungholes like Philadelphia. God I hate Fleming. That guy sucks so hard. To be fair, the Giants have always had one lousy broadacaster in the booth with the pros. Fleming can join the mediocre ranks of Ron Fairly, David Glass, Dennis Higgins, Phil "check that" Stone and the truly dreadful Ted Robinson.

He also reached for her..and just nearly brushed Pam Moore's breasts. If she hadn't leaned back,it would have been YouTube tv at its best. Twice Raddy forced a grope on the weatherwoman.
