    He didn't "mock moon"

    He mock wiped his ass with the goalpost.

    BIG difference.

    I am no Joe Buck fan.

    What I'm wondering, though, is how this is any different from the 1,269 times we've heard that the public doesn't understand that we don't live for our print jobs, either. That there's a lot more to our lives than sitting around watching sports 24/7.

    Hell, it's like a badge of honor in here sometimes when somebody says they don't watch sports in their spare time, like they've reached some higher level of consciousness or something.

    This blogmeister just sounds like one of those Joe Fan guys who think we should be happy to do our jobs for free. After all, we get to watch games for a living ...

    God, I hope no one in St. Louis sees this. They'd have to open up a special section in the Post-Dispatch just for the anti-Buck letters.

    Agreed. Never cared for him before, but that call really deepened how I felt. If only he could be tortured by Joe Morgan in the booth, too ...

    That was Joe Buck's finest hour.
    He honored the game.
    Which is as it should be.

    Don't leave Joe Morgan out of this equation.

    Don't you dare.

    He makes Sunday nights insufferable.

    FWIW:

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22baseball+announcer%22+-%22Joe+Buck%22&btnG=Google+Search
    =37,400

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22baseball+announcer%22+&btnG=Search
    = 39,100

    So if you want to be among the 1,700 who deny that Joe Buck is a baseball announcer ... you belong on a msesage baord taht htaes nwespaper dseign lkike Wneawlawy.

    Buck clearly thinks some people are watching his games because he's announcing them.

    Surely, he's mistaken.

    If he thinks that, he's more deluded than even Sterling.

    I listened to the interview. He said that he doesn't have 2 or three hours on a weeknight to invest in a baseball game. He still reads and follows baseball.

    I don't think it's that unreasonable a stance.

    If he's hooked on that vacuous twit DeAnna...he's beyond help.
    "Bachelorette" never brings in a new fresh face the "The Bachelor" always does as its star. They always recycle a rejectee (and I understand why she was rejected).
