Baseball Pet Peeve Thread

[erik316wttn]

Whoever said it first, my point still stands: Kenny Mayne sucks.

JUMANJI!

stupid nicknames for Curveballs

 

yacker, hammer, bender

 

Stupid names for home runs:

 

Dinger, Tater, etc

Steve Berthiaume saying "Fill thine horn with oil, and go"

 

But then again, we could go another 30 pages on ESPN things that tick us off.

 

I actually liked "say hello to my little friend" the first time I heard it as a HR call.

 

The only time Kenny Mayne has even slightly amused me is when he shouted "I am the finest player in ALL the land!" when someone hit a homer.

 

Baseball pet peeve and overall life pet peeve: Kenny Mayne.

 

That wasn't Kenny Mayne (at least not originally). The first was Steve Berthiaume.

 

Nah it was Mayne.

 

No, it was Berthiaume.

Unless the preface to bring me your finest meats and cheeses was slightly different, it was Mayne. Steve Berhiaume needs to get polio and the vaccine needs to be destroyed.

I think there's confusion. The Scarface line was from Berthiaume. Maybe erik didn't mean to quote me when he started talking Mayne, but I thought he was saying that the Scarface quote was from Mayne, too. If he didn't meant to imply that Mayne said the scarface line, I don't know why he quoted me.

[SouthSideRyan]

Oh. Well still Berthiaume should die in a fire.

There shall be a great feast, with all the finest meats and cheeses of the land!

 

"I am the king of Little League! There shall be a great feast, with all the finest meats and cheeses of the land! And a keg of root beer!!"

 

I submit for consideration that Mayne was funny but once everyone else at ESPN tried to copy him or come up their own schtick it got old fast.

Copy him? He's the one that made it obnoxious by using catch phrases that were a paragraph long. Keith and Dan were the ones that made it fun to watch SC.

Craig Kilborn was also good on SC. Too bad, Kilborn sucked at everything else he's done since leaving ESPN.

He wasn't bad on the Daily Show but he certainly is no Jon Stewart.

I agree. Kilborn was like having a Steven Wright doing the show while Stewart looks like he's going to break out laughing about 3-6 times a show. I think Stewart is a better match and then having Mr. Straight face Colbert...I love that guy.

Kilborn was also pretty good. I was just pointing out that saying others were copying Mayne is a little odd. Dan and Keith started the whole thing. It was good then. But I guess they share the blame for what it's become.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

SC's ratings are the lowest they've been since 1983, and that's a fact that I just made up

[Derwood]

there wouldn't be a Daily Show without Kilborn. That said, Stewart has made it what it is. Five Questions was still a great segment though

He should have stayed but the temptation of a night show was too great.

If you're thinking of what was best for Kilborn, yes. If you're thinking of what is best for mankind, no.

Yeah, for Kilborn. As for mankind, Abe Vigoda would be my top choice.

Yeah, I thought it was Mayne when I quoted you.

Fill thy horn with oil, and go................

 

 

I found Kilborn as douchebaggery as Kenny Mayne. The difference, Kilborn was slightly funny. But then again that's like saying Kangeroo Jack is better then Glitter.......

[CubmanPi]

People who boo when a pitcher throws over to first a couple times.

Fans in Philly were really bad about this. The boos were pretty audible on the first throw over of an AB, so CT and I took to loud, over-the-top cheering every time a Cub pitcher made a pickoff move. I inherently enjoyed annoying their prick fans.

I can't believe how many people hate Kenny Mayne. This is ridiculous.

I know, I find him funny

[Rob]

I can't believe how many people hate Kenny Mayne. This is ridiculous.

 

I can't believe how many people here still like Jon Stewart... He started off funny, but he's just become spiteful and hate-filled.
