maqroll Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Boston signed Grady Sizemore to a 1 year, low end contract. He's still only just 31, so it's a risk free move. If he can stay injury free, he could be a very good 4th option in OF. Edited January 23, 2014 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Derek Jeter announces he'll retire at the end of the season... another narcissistic player wanting a season full of ass kissing tributes. I sincerely hope he gets roundly booed at Fenway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted March 2, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2014 As a broadcaster, McCarver has enjoyed prominence as a color commentator on the network level. He has won three Emmy Awards for Sports Event Analyst.He began his broadcasting career at WPHL-TV (Channel 17) in Philadelphia, where he was paired with Richie Ashburn and Harry Kalas for Phillies games, before co-hosting HBO's Race for the Pennant in 1978 and working as a backup Game of the Week commentator for NBC in 1980.McCarver has called baseball for all four major U.S. television networks. His work at NBC was followed by stints with ABC (where he teamed with Don Drysdale on backup Monday Night Baseball games in 1984 and Al Michaels and Jim Palmer from 1985-1989 and again from 1994–1995 under the "Baseball Network" umbrella) and CBS (where he teamed with Jack Buck from 1990–1991 and Sean McDonough from 1992–1993). McCarver was paired with Joe Buck on the Fox network's MLB telecasts, a role he held from 1996 to 2013.McCarver called his first World Series in 1985 for ABC as a last minute replacement for Howard Cosell. Cosell had been removed from the broadcasts altogether after excerpts from his controversial book, I Never Played the Game (which was critical of Cosell's co-workers at ABC Sports), appeared in TV Guide. Perhaps, McCarver's most notable assignment for ABC prior to the 1985 World Series, was as a field reporter for the 1984 National League Championship Series. McCarver's regular season broadcast partner, Don Drysdale, was instead paired with Reggie Jackson and Earl Weaver.Also while at ABC, he also served as a correspondent and play-by-play announcer for Freestyle skiing at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. McCarver also co-hosted the prime time coverage of 1992 Winter Olympics with Paula Zahn for CBS.He has also called games locally for the Phillies from 1980 to 1982, Mets from 1983 to 1998, Yankees from 1999 to 2001, and Giants in 2002. However, McCarver wasn't able to call the World Series wins by the Phillies in 1980, Mets in 1986, and Yankees in 1999 (all three wins were broadcast on NBC, but McCarver wasn't part of the broadcasting team any of those times).McCarver is the only sportscaster to have covered the New York Mets and two of their rivals on a regular basis. He is one of three sportscasters to have covered the Mets and the Yankees (the others being Fran Healy and Tom Seaver) and one of three sportscasters to have covered both the Mets and the Phillies. (the others being Todd Kalas and Tom McCarthy)In 2003, McCarver set a record by broadcasting his 13th World Series on national television (surpassing Curt Gowdy). Also, since 1984 (when he served as a field reporter for ABC's National League Championship Series coverage), McCarver has to date, never missed commentating on the League Championship Series.McCarver also hosts a nationally syndicated sports interview program, called The Tim McCarver Show.McCarver announced March 27, 2013 that he would leave Fox after the 2013 season. His final Fox broadcast was October 30, 2013, as the Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in game 6 to win the 2013 World Series. On December 8, 2013 he was hired to be a part-time broadcaster for the Cardinals on Fox Sports Midwest during the 2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have misread and he's already retired, that's brilliant if true! Who is Tim McCarver? He's not part of the SNY mets comms team is he? I think they're brilliant.... Nope. Gary Cohen and former Met players Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling are the SNY team, and they are indeed brilliant. Probably my favourite comms team of any sport ever.
