I know that some of you on here dont like Buck but this is kind of a ridiculous claim here. Listen to Len his voice gets high when ever a Cubs player does something well too. Len isn't a national announcer and he calls all 162 games. It's different when you're a known broadcaster on the national scale and when you're only announcing 10-15 games a year for the Cardinals. Yeah but he is not announcing it on national game. He is only announcing on the Cardinals broadcast. Something tell me you would get on Vasgarsian or Brenneman if they got excited while doing their local broadcast games even though they do national games too. Buck is a gigantic homer, sorry if that notion offends you. and as much as i don't like the guy, he's allowed to be on a cards broadcast. complaining about him being biased in a local broadcast (so long as it's short of hawk harrellson's level) is ridiculous. My gripe is that he announces the same way on national broadcasts. When he's teamed with McCarver it's borderline absurd. i sure don't hear it. at least not any more than any other announcer. my gripe with him is that he's the most dry, boring announcer of all time. when he's teamed up with mccarver, he somehow becomes worse.
