He still is as good as it gets.

Vin: keep it going, man. Approve.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> Does Ernie Harwell get a Media Approval Rating? He's no longer actively calling games... But he's best I've heard (& I've heard Scully, who I approve as well).

I still think CBS Radio or whoever does the playoffs on radio should bring EH back to do the games solo, too.

josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance for you

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> yeah, but "here comes Knight and the Mets win it" is a great call. I still use it on all my friends who are Sox fans.

the littlest rebel

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> No can do. His blatant Mets hating during the '86 series made him a non-person for life in my book.

I don't believe what I just saw.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> @Publitor: I am a Giants fan (but more of an Socialist than a Communist), and I approved Vin Scully. My wife worked for a PR agency that had dealings with an LA city disaster preparedness office. They commissioned a poll to the effect of "Whose voice would you trust the most giving you important information in case of emergency?" Vin won, and it wasn't even close.

I guess what I'm saying is that Vin could even make a horrific, deadly earthquake enjoyable.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> Not my fave when he was with Joe Garagedooropener back in the day, but he's fine now. (Used to like Kubek and Costas better then, actually.)

Vinnie's also GREAT on the radio. Better than on TV, actually.

Approve!

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> One Million Percent Approved.

But for Jack Buck, Scully would be the greatest baseball announcer these ears have had the pleasure of hearing.

FightTiger

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> Vin's a fine announcer, but NBC had him calling the 1985 NLCS (Cards over Dodgers). He was so much of a homer in that series that by the end of it I swear he was implying that most of the Cardinal players were felons. This was after Keith Hernandez had gone to the Mets, so that was pretty unfair.

Approve.

Scott Chill

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> Is this the biggest approval margin in the short history of the MARs?

I admit - I did not like Scully much on NBC's Game of the Week. Maybe it was the medium, maybe working with an analyst, I don't know.

But he gets an approval for still getting it done after all these years.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> Uecker is actually really good, but he's no Scully. Marty Brennaman would still be great if he didn't hate baseball so much.

I also like the Phillies broadcaster who's not Harry Kalas or the other guy.

]]> <![CDATA[Media Approval Ratings: Vin Scully]]> @UeckersEats

The Brewers broadcast team of Uek & Jim Powell basically do the came thing Vin does--1 guy goes solo for a couple of innings while the other guy shuts the FUCK UP! It's very refreshing, especially compared to the CUBS team of Hughes & Santo who dumb it down so much they sound like they're talking to only eight or eighty year-old people (and they very well could be)...

Just a baseball game with no shitty Fox sound effects or animation or endless plugs for whatever new crap scripted show or reality series they shove down our faces every October---APPROVE!!
