Poor Joe Buck sounded deflated

JOE, YOU'RE NOT HAVING A PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH TONY LaRUSSA'S RELATIVES ABOUT TONY. THAT MAY BE HOW YOU SEE BASEBALL, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU THERE ARE 29 OTHER TEAMS. Joe, your team isn't going to win everyday. I heard you calling strikes against Mets hitters before they were halfway through swinging. I appreciated the booth's description of Wagner/LoDuca's pitch choices--wondering why he wasn't throwing more fastballs after the first 2 or 3 pitches. But, Luis Gonzalez is not cut out for a job in the booth. The few times he spoke he sounded like a timid 8 year old kid, no conviction, nothing new, mostly repeating what someone else said. I'm sure he has many fine qualities, but he's not a broadcaster.

• Joe sets up Scott Rolen as the bad guy for the night.
