As a die hard Cardinals fan, it grieves me to report that they lost 6 to 4 tonight..... This has been an amazing Series..
1-0, 3-2, 1-0, 5-3 and tonight 6 - 4 The winning scores total to 16 to the losing scores totaling 9... that seems not too close, but in reality it is...
NOW, since the game has been brought up.... The commentators for the games in LA are, in my opinion, horrible...NOT because they are for LA,,, that is to be expected. But their commentary is just foolish......
Does anyone else that has been watching the series think this also...
inquiring minds want to know

I've watched 3-4 innings of the Red Sox/Tiger series on FOX.
I don't have Dodgers/St.Louis on TV. They are on TBS.
That is the Turner Broadcasting (?). They are using Atlanta Brave broadcasters.
On radio Dodgers use VINCE SCULLY (62 years of broadcast experience). Rick Monday (former OF), and Charlie Steiner.
Scully does 1-3, and 7-9 innings. I listen in whenever they are on in El Paso station.
World Series I believe will be on Fox with Buck & former Cardinal catcher. These guys have all kind of stats available to them.
I've read a few people do not like Scully. In their mind he is over the hill. I started listening to BB in 1947 W/S. Vin started at age 22, after graduating frpm FORDAM U. where he did football/bb.
His broadcast experience and knowledge is the greatest in sports history. Sure he is 85, but can still deliver the good, the bad, and the disappointments, and the greats.
His greatest game ever broadcast was DON LARSON'S PERFECT W/S GAME IN 1956, against the Dodgers. Sandy Koufax perfect game, Kirk Gibson HR, are two more notable great games.

But what do I know? The Dodgers followed me to LA in October 1957. I was 11 when I heard my 1st W/S game. Yankee broadcaster was Mel Allen, and Dodger broadcaster was Red Barber. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
