Vasgersian's Ire

[JimH5]

Awful Announcing has a post about Matt Vasgersian going off about St. Louis Cardinals fans last night. He always struck me as a bit of a tool, even when he was "our tool". Regardless, here's the link. . .

for someone who is becoming somewhat of a national announcer (is in a video game, does mlb and olympics) he should know that he has to be professional and even if it was a joke, its not going to help his career.

That's actually really funny.

I agree I thought it was funny.

 

Now, if he had told all Milwaukee fans to get in their souped up Dodge Neons, shave their moustaches, and head back to Da Sout Side for dollar taps at da Legion I'd have been PO'd.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif

In the early days of MLB.TV, they would often leave the audio feed running during commercial breaks and Bill Schroeder would says some of the funniest most candid stuff not unlike Vasgersian. It's funny what they say when they think no one is listening. I've heard Schroeder comment on things from the umps to needing a beer and even arguing with Darren. Now they do a much better job of cutting the audio out at commercial breaks.

Agree with HH, that's a great line, poor taste or not. =)

 

"Ninth inning Greene hits a double down the line and two fans go over wall to get the ball....Here is broadcast I taped it channel4San Diego...First they are called yahoos.......(Matt V.).........As one of the ozarks finest pours himself out of the grandstands.....pause...and by the way the Rams should still be in L.A.......Had it with this place already.....pause....get back in your el camino and drive back to the ozarks..........."

 

The comments at AA are almost as funny as the original lines that offended

 

Great post. Matt may be a tool, but he's an entertaining tool.

Agreed, I had subscriptions the first two years, and there was some great stuff between innings.
