David Cone. I'm sorry but this guy just annoys the shit out of me. I'm glad they've kept Pinella out of the booth though.
Morgan is gone and forgotten, Cone absolutely atrocious, Jon Miller learned to hate him when he was in Baltimore.
The very worst two by far to my ears, have been Ken Harrelson, and Rex Hudler, both the biggest boring HOMERS to ever call a game. I'd turn off the sound, when either one broadcast games. Hudler in Anaheim broadcast as if he were playing for the Angels, never giving up creedence to any feat on the opposing Team; making Yankee Road game intolerable to listen to, off went the sound, on came the radio...! If I hear 'he gone' again, I will SCREAM...!!! Tom you picked a real fine list....! hard to beat it...!

Walt Frazier drives me up a wall with his, "Movin & Grovin" Dishing & Swishing" Gunning & Running" Slidden & Gliden" well, you get the message.
The one ass hole, I forgot who belongs in the Top 10 is Rick Suck-Cliffe, can't stand that pompous peacock...! never cared for him as a pitcher either, even here in L.A. POS, never forgot when he made a sexually leading Q to Erin Andrews on Air, during a Yanx-Ranger's game..... The very next morning H. Reynolds was fired, for sexual Harassment, and Suck-Cliffe should of been gone too, for the on air discriminating moment, a big embarrassment to Andrews. Suck-Cliffe was quietly removed from Broadcasting for ESPN a week later, for the last 2 months of the season. Got his very hush hush quietly, which never made the main days news, like the Reynolds firing did.....Should have tho'....!
My favorite Sutcliffe moment was his comments during the '84 playoffs "f this series were to get to a 5th game I'd relish the chance to pitch". Well he got his wish and his butt handed to him in game 5.
"Instant Karma's gonna get you, knock you right in the head"...that's exactly what Suck-Cliffe got alright, and I too relished his loss....the man thinks he's the second coming of Don Drysdale, but IMO belongs with Rick Reuschel, Ed Whitson, K. Brown, and Pavano....ie, in the bucket of shit with other MLB players, like him, pompous peacocks...!
I love Singleton in the booth but, never being associated with the Yankees does anyone else wonder how he ended up with us?
I've often wondered that one myself, between '79 to '81 I used to go to games in Crack Town at Memorial Stadium when Singleton and Murray were the backbone of the Oriole Teams. People talk about Philly and Red Sox Fans, been to games in both locals but found the Crack Town Fans to be worse.
