    Want the appetizer? Here goes, 1- I've seen a lot of baseball in my life. 2-he says the guy is looking off speed and that's what allowed him to get a hit. Yet he hit a fastball!! (Will James isn't here I don't think)3-he can't pronounce the word IF!! 4- "he's got a 3-1 count, a hitters count so I imagine he will be taking here" �� 5-"he loves to swing a make contact". He said all of this. He sucks. Sorry. And yes I kept a record of most of the stupid ass stuff he said. It's a laundry list.

    to me. I'm just laughing my ass off about a grown man keeping a "laundry list" of annoying things an announcer says. Pathetic.

    I hope they keep just to piss the bitchers off. LOL.

    I saw Ellis a couple of weeks ago riding around on a golf cart going to a baseball game. He looked really frail.

    Here's a scary thought- maybe Anthony Cravens IS Will James....

    I agree with Homedawg as I, at first, started making a mental list after the first 3 or 4 obvious grating items he said and then gave up. And throwing out stats non-stop in the 11th inning (after 8+ hours of baseball) was too much. Again, there comes a time when "less is more."

    FWIW, I like Bart & Jay, but don't care one iota for Anthony or Matt.

    If he wasn't constantly complimenting Bama and saying shit like "Well, x-player's got 2 strikes; 1 more and he's out", then I guess he'd be alright**

    Craven sounds like a gameshow host. I turned down the volume he was so bad, and I never do that. I can't stand announcers or other newscasters or tv/radio people that try to add emphasis to their voices by adding an "A" sound before and after their words. Listen to Craven next time closely and you'll hear exactly what I'm referring to. Local newscasters are bad about it to.

    Example: "Annnd just like that, athe bulldogsa, are back on top"
