This is where we talk about the stupid things that come out of the mouth of FOX's color commentator extraordinaire.

I'll go first.

After Milton Bradley checks his swing on an inside pitch:

That was a terrific check swing by Bradley. 90% of Major Leaguers swing at that pitch.

Joe should have replied with: Where on the sheet did you find that stat?

And as I type this he compares the Cardinals' lineup to 90-year-old Jack Lalane's body: No soft spots.

Imploring Weaver to "bunt it right at the pitcher" since Eldred just came out of the pen and, presumably, is unable to bend over until he gets a few innings of work.

Context for that one PLEASE! Man, Tim, did you actually USE shellac in your hair?

You dare slag Timmy for keeping you awake in the company of Joe Buck?

I guess LaLanne was a regular visitor to the Cardinal clubhouse in the late '60s...

McCarver can go shit in his hat.

oh he was talking about how baseball has banned "foreign substances" and basically just sounded like an idiot.

Those Joe Buck Budweiser commercials make me wanna hurl.

worse than mccarver and the joe buck ads is the fucking cover of 'in the air tonight' used at every bumper. couldn't they get odb's 'sssudio' instead?
