Is Cal a former Oriole or Yankee?

Love Cal, but his voice is really annoying.

I don't mind his voice at all...it's his commentary that is really annoying for me. We are so spoiled by having Palmer and Thorne!

I agree. I really like Cal, but I like him less and less as I feel he is piling on the Orioles. He isn't even making the same criticisms of the Yankees. I may just mute my tv.

I'm on the verge of doing the same thing...might just listen on the radio.

Oh yeah, should have added his commentary too. Used to love Ernie J when I watched NBA eons ago, he's getting on my nerves too!

This thread sounds like a women's bridge club.

I just wanted to post something I found interesting. I was just on Facebook and some big Oriole fans, but some very casual Oriole (and baseball fans for that matter) or posting about Cal and his comments. I don't think this is just us observing his current commentary as an FYI.

[CO Birdlover]

That's funny!!

My problem with the whole broadcast is that we already know all there is to know about the Ynkees. Yet, we haven't seemed to find anything out about this mystery team they're playing. No one besides the fans who follow the team are aware that we are playing without Markakis, Reimold, Roberts, and Betimit. No one knows that we have revamped our whole team throughout the year.

We already know about the Yankees, tell us something about the O's.

Slurp Slurp Slurp

Cal reacts to Jeter like 12 year old girls react to bieber

Down the middle - Jeter Ks. huh

People don't seem to understand that Cal isn't there to represent the Orioles' point of view. He is being paid to do objective analysis, and that's what I see him doing, fairly well.

I agree, Cal isn't there to represent the O's. I respectfully disagree that he's been objective. I will say, hes been a little better tonight, but overall hes been unbearable. But in fairness, the entire TBS broadcast has. If it wasnt the Orioles, id have turned it off, and never came back long long ago.

The fact that he was assigned to the Orioles/Yankees series and not one of the other three is meaningful. The overall TBS coverage of this series is considerably worse than mediocre.

[The Wedge]

The crew tonight would NOT let him avoid discussing the Maier incident, and that's the most he's seemed like the Cal you'd expect him to be all series long. It's almost like they wanted him to try to reconnect with Baltimore.

Blah blah blah, who cares? We're going to Game 5!
