America has its first postseason goat , and he is Harry Christopher Caray III, better known as Chip, the nepotistic unemployable who was so bad in Tuesday's tiebreaker that he momentarily made baseball fans forget that the Tigers were totally jobbed . The reaction against Chip has been ...

... this weekend’s games couldn’t hurt. Although I don’t see the Vikes winning by that much.
Laurence Maroney owners…your day has come…you may actually possess some value now.
The Bengals are off to a great start, too bad this title makes them sound like pansies.
I don’t know Florida football well enough…do they stand a chance this weekend without the Chosen One?
Couldn’t agree more with the reaction.
Some fans deal with loss by drinking, some sob uncontrollably, some just take ...

Thoughts and ephemera as we impatiently await yet another must-win game:
Denny Hecker is more popular than Chip Caray. The New York Times is the latest to check in.

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Fist : Sandomir’s Knockout Blow To Chip Carey
Can't Stop The Bleeding —
TBS’ Chip Carey is being castigated far and wide for his error-prone work this postseason, but no one’s been nearly as detailed in their critique as the New York Times’ Richard Sandomir. “If Caray’s crew could not keep him from spontaneously miscalling plays,” asked Sandomir, “you must wonder about his misuse of statistics. Is he receiving bad game notes, or is he conducting rogue research?”
He gave Alex Rodriguez’s career statistics but left out 2009; he also erroneously said that ...
The Salvation of Joe Buck
The Sports Section —
... Caray, the head of the TBS broadcasting team (they did the Yankees-Twins ALDS and now the Phillies-Dodgers NLCS), has plungd the art of announcing a baseball game to a previously unsuspected depths this season. Fans' ears are being "fisted," and his incompetence has been so total that even august keepers of civility like the New York Times are pummeling him. Richard Sandomir, the paper's sports media critic, is ...
Joe Buck Hates The Yankees

... Fro the record, I don't have a problem with Joe Buck and wouldn't say he's "terrible". I think he does an satisfactory job of calling the game and that's something most of us took for granted until Caray came on the scene. Say what you will about Buck, but he doesn't inaccurately describe what's happening on the field very often or repeatedly shove words like "fisted" up our... well, you know. ...

... next season. Honorable Mention: Fox hires Ozzie Guillen for the World Series Worst Play-by-Play: Earlier this week during the Sports Media Weekly podcast, Jim Williams of the Washington Examiner gave praise to Chip Caray of TBS for his work during the MLB Postseason. From what I can tell, Jim is the only sports media writer to give Chip some love. I cannot. While I won't take shots like some others have, I found Chip to be very annoying. His constant "FISTED" references plus miscalling plays early in the postseason led fans to go ...

Does Chip Caray Have Bad Seats?
metspolice.com 10/10/2009 — I'm going to join the chorus of people who find Chip Caray to be awful. I think he still isn't sure if Teixeira's ball went out. He calls things "fly ball" when other announcers would say "blooped." On the radio side, early in the game Sterling and Suzyn were saying how new ...

Chip Caray Is Unclutch

Luckily, ...

No question, Buck is clearly the better technical play-by-play guy. How does he hold the advantage? Oh, by waiting until the play actually happens before he calls it. ...
