From a NY Yankees fan...
Congrats to the Texas Rangers!
You beat the Yankees!
Now you have a very great chance to win the World Series.
OP:
Is it me or does TBS seem to be rooting for one team more then the other? To me it is blatant who those announcers are rooting for. I am surprised they haven't mentioned the 2004 ALCS melt down which Tim McCarver (Fox) always mentions in the ALCS/WS. I can't stand the announcers for TBS or Buck or McCarver. They are all obvious yankee haters.
Oh well preparing for the loss tonight when wishy washy Girardi puts Burnett on the mound....

Something needs to be different.
Mike
you just answered your own question. You dislike the TBS coverage because you're used to hearing the most embarrassingly boorish homer shills in sports broadcasting. So next to those dopes anything is probably going to sound like anti-Yankee propaganda.
I wish the scooter was still around. He was one of the best IMO.
Thats what TBS gets for talkin smack!
I can only imagine what they have to say about their poor camera.

If they are biased - which I haven't noticed, I've actually enjoyed the Johnson/Smoltz/Darling trio - then you're getting a small taste of what the rest of the country deals with every year from ESPN and the like.
Tabe
PS: looks like the bats for the Yankees have come to life.
<< <i>LOL - I can't stand ESPN. Joe Morgan is a horrible announcer...
. >>
Agreed, but you probably like Jon Miller, one of the biggest Yankee suck-ups out there.
And how can you Yankee fans stand John "A-Bomb from A-Rod" Sterling? His horrible player catch phrases are painful to listen to, even in sound-bites.
<< <i>worst announcer ever was the Yankee's in game guy, for years he sounded like he was dead, then I heard he died. i'm sure he was loved by the fans but everytime i've gone to NYC for a trip every person i was with would ask me what the heck was going on with the pa guy. >>
You can't be talking about "The voice of God" he has been there since 1951 and still announces Derek jeter everytime he comes to bat. Jeter asked to record his voice for him to use after he retired at 97 years of age a few years back. He is an icon and not just with Yankee fans.
I do have to agree that john Sterling is an idiot.

As I posted b4 I don't like John Sterling. However I rather listen to his horrible catch phrases then listen to the horrible TBS announcers...
I don't know who Jon Miller is?
Are you thinking of Bob Sheppard "the voice of god"?
<< <i>Tonight I am going to listen to 880AM WCBS with John Sterling and watch TBS with the volume off on the TV. I don't know how or why but I am getting New York's AM station all the way down here in Raleigh, NC!!! My night just got a whole lot better...WAHOO!!! >>
You like John Sterling? He used to do Braves games, and was terrible. He was absolutely clueless. I was so glad when he left. Now if we can get rid of Chip Caray, I'll be content. Smoltz has been quite good as an announcer. I hope the Braves use him more in the future.

I ama Sox fan and his voice was the best.
You can't honestly tell me that bottom of 5th inning Yankees bull pen melt down the TBS announcers weren't loving it! They even had to bring up the 2004 ALCS Yankee meltdown... I knew that was eventually coming I posted about it already in this thread.
Really they are anti NY there is no doubt about it...
Edit add: They called Hamilton "The Natural" when he tripped. Give me a break. They aren't bias. LOL
