They also use his "A WAAAAAAAY BACK" during the opening of one of their shows, I can't remember if it's the Rundown or something else though..

Sizemore is off to a good start this season as well. Wish these guys could have done this earlier in the game, but I will take it! 7-3.

No pressure here. Good chance for Choo to get it going actually.

This lineup could be pretty scary if Choo plays the way he can play. Batting .213 is inexcusable though, same with Santana at .200

He's by far my favorite baseball announcer. Growing up during that 90's run I used to listen to him on the radio when I was supposed to be sleeping. So many great calls "STRIKE THREE CALLED....BALLGAME!"

Choo needs a day "off".....or in my vocabulary a benching and let him get his act together.

Love Hamilton but he is much better for the radio. This is a great win if they pull it out, I don't even care that I have to wake up in 6.5 hours!

I love guys like him who sound genuinely excited about what's happening. Some announcers try to sound excited but they force it and it sounds really dumb. Guys like Hammy, Gus Johnson and Joe Tait you can tell they really are excited about whats going on and it comes out in their calls.

I hate to sound like I'm making excuses, because it's frustrating for me to watch them struggle as well...

But Santana is basically a rookie who is coming back from a pretty bad injury. I agree that Choo needs to start looking a bit better at the plate, because that last at bat was terrible.

If Choo is still struggling like this come May, I'll be a worried. We've just seen this before with him and he always gets scorching hot.
