T.V vs. Radio.

 At my house we have local Cable, so we only get the games that are on N.B.C and the occasional Fox Sports games, so I keep up with all the games the old fashioned way.....the radio.

At first it was really hard to get used to. I couldn't get used to the technical terms such as "There's a ground ball....through the gap!" or "There's a fly ball heading towards left field...and it's off the top of the wall!"

But now I am able to picture every play in my head, and then I can watch the highlights on Sfgiants.com.

Jon Miller and Dave Flemming also do such a wonderful job relaying the games to the public!
They are both so animated, and easy-going. They make broadcasting sound easy!

In fact, they were recently voted the best sports broadcasters in all of Major League Baseball.
They blew the Cardinals broadcasters away by nearly 300 votes!!

It is also a little frustrating watching the games on Fox Sports because most of the announcers favor eastern teams.

Yesterday the Giants played the Chicago Cubs, and Eric Karros (who was on the Dodgers for a number of years) was broadcasting with Dick Stocktan.
They were talking about whether or not Melky Cabrrera should be the starting center fielder for the All Star game. Eric Karros mentioned that he thought Tony Gwynn (of the Dodgers) is pretty good competition.

Tony Gwynn's batting averarge for this season is .269.
Melky Cabrera's batting average is .371 and his defense in center field has saved the Giants countless times.

Yeah....Melky Cabrera all the way!!
