pathetic moronic comment during the broadcast last night...

Hyperion

didn't catch much of the game, just here and there, but heard a comment from Tim McCarver make the following, something about:

wildcards making it to the WS frequently in the last 5-6 years ? that's just proof positive the revenue sharing agreements in baseball work perfectly.

(paraphrased).


what a %$#@^%@%$ moron, I can't wait til they realize he's adle-brained and get him off the air.

Pathetic comments from broadcasters happen all the time:

In the Tigers/Yankees series, not Joe Morgan, but that old dude he broadcasted with that was as fat as Don Zimmer, called Alexis Gomez standing up in the dugout, Joel Zumaya.........do a little homework!

Tom Brady's first Super Bowl win, remember when John Madden and Pat Summerall said the Patriots would be better off to run the clock out and try to win the game in overtime........who is Tom Brady again?

Remember when that one dude, think it was Joe Buck, said that fake Randy Moss mooning was apalling and sad that it was shown on the Fox network........I thought it was funny as hell!

Lou Pinella is a great manager and great guy, but I think his broadcastings dumbed us all down quite a bit.......can he ever finish one coherent thought within the hour?

You get the point, I think, but broadcasters know much more than we do, or so I am believed to think!

broadcasters get booted only when they fail to be PC. As far as stupid comments go, none are heard when the volume is off or too low to be audible to anyone but dogs. My dog hates Buck and McCarver and has no respect for Madden.

McCarver's an idiot. It's proof positive that doubling the number of playoff teams make some "poor"/"small market" teams make it each year, and in a short series any team can beat any other. No more, no less.

He said that the fact that this year will be the 7th different World Series winner in 7 years is proof that revenue sharing is working.

There is revenue sharing in major league baseball?

I only wish Ernie Harwell still did radio, I used to fall asleep as a kid listening to his broadcasts. And that is falling asleep because I was tired, not because I was lulled!

No it doesn't. Take a deeper look at these smaller market teams that peak in one year, then are out of the playoffs subsequent years.

yep, g. steinbrenner gives 1,000 to the royals, twins, and tampa bay (to split among themselves),
while they have enough money to buy a billion dollar stadium in the City.

Technically, that's not revenue sharing. That's the luxury tax and not everyone gets a piece. Revenue sharing like the NFL would be a pooling of money and that certainly doesn't happen today.
As far as non-Yankee teams making and winning the world series, other than the Marlins, can any of the last winners be considered small market/small salary teams?
