The truest words ever spoken ever in the history of time ever...ever

Richard Kavesh from Nyack, you are Douggy Bombs's hero. Bombs wants you to have (more of) his kids, just because of this letter in the Daily News last week: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suffering Suzyn Suzyn Waldman is the worst color commentator in the history of broadcast baseball, and I write this as a lifetime Yankees fan who has listened to or watched thousands of baseball games since 1960. As a color commentator, Waldman's job is to tell us about the inside game of baseball, to make us fans wiser. Yet Waldman has absolutely no analytical ability. Her commentary invariably consists of mind-numbing statistics taken from media guides, agreeing with whatever John Sterling has just said, uncritically passing on information given to her by others, and partisan, pro-Yankee tripe. I have never heard Waldman question a manager or player's strategy or ever heard her come up with an insightful or original observation. She never makes us wiser. Yet Waldman would be unlistenable even if she had the combined wisdom of Tim McCarver and Jim Kaat (Bombs's note: please read this as "the wisdom of Jim Kaat"). She has the worst radio voice I have ever heard. It is harsh, nasal, grating, and in a word - ugly. It is an embarrasment that the greatest and richest sports franchise in the world employs someone in this critical job who is obviously so unqualified to fill it. -Richard Kavesh, Nyack -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- amen brother. amen. Suzyn Waldman is awful. And it has nothing to do with her being a woman...it's only because she sucks. Deb Kauffman saying "Welcome back to MSG SportsDesk," or Jeannie Zelasko saying, "I'm Jeannie Zelasko at the FOX Studio with a game break," is infinitely more entertaining than Waldman talking about, well, anything. Why can't they go in the booth instead?
