Best wishes to Buck, I enjoyed his work.

This is good news. Is there a PTBNL?:rofl:

Roy Halladay!!

This is good news. How'd we get the Blue Jays to take that deal? Sweet!

Agreed! I'd rather hear Palmer moan and complain about how better things used to be when he played.

[PHRESH]

Cause Dave Johnson is leaving MASN to do SF Giants television

Well played

Melvin Mora anyone?

[Dipper9]

Good for Buck. He is going home. Any chance he takes Gary Thorne with him??

Is Flanny warming in the bull pen. If not him how about bringinging Ken Singleton home? Anyone but the Dipper.

And what might be wrong with me? :cussing:

Martinez was OK.....at least understood the nuances of the game and was able to express them coherently.

But what I'll really miss is my 90 year old mother, an avid Orioles fan, asking "I wonder if that's his real hair?" during every O's game that Buck broadcast.....

[Dipper9]

What I will miss is every single time there is a "Slo-Mo" replay, as MASN likes to call it, he would utter the words..."Look at the extension..." Classic Buck!

[Guest rochester]

I thought he was fine - he knew what he was talking about IMO. Voice doesn't bother me. I guess I find it incredulous that every time someone leaves so many feel so negatively about them...guess I wasn't a born whiner..err. critic

[Mike B]

What is wrong with some of you people!?! Do you lie awake nostalgic for the insights of Michael Reghi or something?!

Sorry, I have had enough of Thorne and his constant mistakes. I guess I should have cleared my view with you.

[Mike B]

And what might be wrong with me? :cussing:

If I listed the problems, it would be the longest post in OH history. If it makes you feel better, you were one of my favorite players. Are you still cat quick behind the plate.

[QSII]

He still has to pass through immigration. Don't take any demo tapes with you, Buck.

[scOtt]

And I can't not post this, to show y'all how good we have it...

"Mora with a BOMB to left field!

See. You. Later!"

:slytf:

Sorry, I have had enough of Thorne and his constant mistakes. I guess I should have cleared my view with you.

Even the HOF'er broadcasters made/make mistakes. It's live broadcasting. And in Thorne's case, some of the things people call mistakes are purposely done to be idiosyncratic.

[UMDTerrapins]

This the non-player news I was talking about. Sad to see Buck go.

[Who's On 1st]

And in Thorne's case, some of the things people call mistakes are purposely done to be idiosyncratic.

I wish Buck would take Gary Thorne with him! I really can't stand him!

Best of luck Mr. Buck Martinez!!!!
