Heh, I listened to the Royals guys too. I specifically avoided Sterling and Waldmyn on mlb.com, I just can’t stand either of them at this point, and if the other feed is not too homerish I’ll go to them on mlb.com. I love the dry stuff and hate bluster, so unsurprisingly I thought the Royals guys were great, like listening to a minor league game on a crackling radio. I enjoyed it right up until the point the Yankees stunk up the joint and I had to turn the whole damn thing off.

I listened to them today too. They are horribly monotone, but they call a fair game — no favoritism. At one point a Royals’ batter got a strike called on him for taking his swing too far. At that moment I was also watching on MLB TV and swear that he didn’t come close to going around. Both of the Royals guys thought he swung. They really showed little favortism for their hometown team. Maybe that’s a broadcast philosophy for that team.

I like Sterling. He’s a homer, but he’s not as bad as Mike Shannon who cheers “Get out Get out!!!!” for every cards homer or that idiot for the Chisox (the Hawk?) who says, “He gone” everytime someone for the opposing team k’s. Jim Palmer is bad for the O’s always bitching about the Yanks payroll (though I may be mixing TV and radio).
