For as much as we all love to rip on Buck and Pat for being bad, every time I watch a C's game on TV and I get their TV/Radio broadcaster Rob Fai I end up being thankful for the fact that Buck could be
a lot worse. Fai is so godawful that it's painful. And because the TV and radio broadcasts use the same source audio, it's not even like I can sync my TV to a radio broadcast because it's the same nonsense.
Tonight's highlights have included:
- Mocking the sideline reporter for her pronunciation of "karate" (because she used the correct way, not the westernized "kah-rah-tee"
- Spinning off the karate discussion into questioning where it was invented, including guessing Nigeria.
- A barrage of dumb homespun sayings spun off of his original fake-folksy saying "smooth as your mom's legs on her first date with your dad"
- references to flava flav and tila tequila
- referring to any players that played for or against the C's in the past as pitchers (chiefly Trevor Gretzky (who was an IF, I think 1B) and Jeremy Barfield (OF))
- shock and incredulity at one of the players wearing one of those base-runner's mitts (he'd never seen it before in spite of the scads of MLB players that use them)
- top pitching prospect Nate "Peterson"
- Comparing a Tri-City pitcher to Osuna for seemingly no reason other than the fact that they're both Mexican.
Argh...
