Default Keith Olberman...

He was on broadcast team doing last nights Met's-Yankee's game. I see a bunch of belly ache'n, whine'n about him doing the game....

I thoroughly enjoyed his take on the game!!!

Tim Kurkjian is my favorite of the regular bunch. A-Rod is OK, Karl "Hippy" Ravich is also OK, and Eduardo Perez does a good. Olberman spiced it up from it's normal somewhat ho-hum broadcast. The woman, Jessica Mendoza does a good job also, but I have a tough time when she talks about the game like she's experienced or played it, herself...yeah that NEVER happened.

Olberman showed some cool pictures from his house, a Babe Ruth bat...man that was cool!!!
Oh yeah. Olberman is a true fan of the game!!!

No matter what brocast Team for ESPN does the game there’s so much yapping. I want to hit the mute button by the second inning. 3 in the booth is way to much in any sport. They need to shut up some and let the viewers enjoy the game. Stop with that crawl along the bottom of the screen and the pitch box, too distracting.

She's a 4-time first team All-American at Stanford and Olympic gold medalist softball player. She's got the credentials!

I turned the game on in progress and didn’t know it was Olberman. Listening to the game my impression was “this guy sucks”. Once I realized who it was I turned the game off. He’s a poor announcer and a worst human being.
