Try listening to a Mets game when they play the Braves, the Mets announcers openly root for the Braves, especially Tim Hudson who for some reason they all have a disturbing, homo-erotic man crush on (well except Keith Hernandez who gets all ga-ga over Jason Heyward).
But yeah the announcers in last night's game were over the top with their Yankee rooting. The most outrageous was when they claimed the Yankees just look like they are not enthusiastic about the game, it's not that they are over priced prima donnas it's just that they are so great and have been there so many times they aren't panicking and it just looks like they aren't into the game.
Getting ready to watch the 2nd game. Curious to see if the announcers can talk
without crying. They said last night it was tragic for the Yanks.
I’m sorry Derrick got hurt, I think he is a fine ball player
but it happens to a lot
of the good players. At his age I seriously doubt that he will be able to come back and play SS.
I don’t think any of the announcers realize that their obvious bias toward one team
contributes to the dislike of that team. My team is at home this time of year but I love the game and I like to see
good games. I don’t like hearing obvious rooting going on for either team.
