Saw this live last night. I said to myself, "Matt, that aint a dude". Underwood is a moron.

No thats just TV. Hamilton and Hegan wouldnt be in the bottm 5, I guarantee it. Rosey might though, when he was subbing for Hegan this season he was horrible!

Wait, it is just TV... oops.
But either way, even if it was both, obviously the radio guys wouldn't get the worst.

Yeah. I honestly feel terrible for Rick Manning. He knows his stuff, has pretty good delivery with his jokes, and is very good at knowing when to talk and when to let the game be the color analyst. BUT, he has to work with Matt Underwood who is probably the worst PxP man in the MLB. Hey, at least he gave Baseball Tonight their signature (joke) of "Souvenir City".

I don't mind Hawk Harrelson from that list, its pretty comical... and I'd put Darling and Hernandez and the whole SNY crew in the bottom 5... but the rest of that is pretty accurate

It depends. If your rating this from a national perspective you have to take into account objectivity. If you arent, you cant penalize for homerism. PErsoanlly, I hate homerism, even from my Indians announcers (moreso TV). I cant stand Hawk Harrelson because if the Sox are losing it is a dreadfully boring broadcast. He cant come up with stuff to keep the viewer interested and make the game more than a game. It becomes even worse when you take into account that WGN (I know they are usually on Comcast Sports Net) IS INDEED a national station.

That's a pretty good point, when they're getting pounded the games are horrible. Having the extra innings package enables me to listen to pretty much about every crew and for the most part a lot of them do a good job, but I think they pretty much nailed the bottom 5

I might be being a homer, but add me to the list of people who likes the Cowboy and Brennamen

Homer.
The Cowboy is turrible. Brennamen is pretty good though.
