Krukow/Kuiper versus Fosse/GKuiper; Good homers and Bad homers; Sunday quickie

I have grudgingly begun to appreciate Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, (Kruk and Kuip). While both admit, and in Kruk's case, freely admit, that they are part of the Giants' amen corner, at least they provide information and are knowledgeable and give the viewers some real insight.

That's not the case with Glenn Kuiper and Ray Fosse, who provide absolutely nothing on A's telecasts. Where the SF class are on game most of the time, Fosse/GKuiper, are vanilla. Dullsville personified. Fosse has been a good company man for almost thirty years, but comes out of the Monte Moore, "we're down by 7 in the ninth and look like shit, but damn, that was a great play by ..." school. If Fosse had Bill King, (or Ken Korach for that matter), he'd be tolerable, but Glenn Kuiper is universally lost and not ready for prime time. There's a story that he only got the gig because of his older brother. I believe that.
