I don't know about these Anderson guys


So I was watching the Phillies/Rockies game last night and I was struck by how mind-numbingly boring play-by-play announcer, Brian Anderson is. He seems to have absolutely no personality in his voice. None. Not an ounce.

His voice also just has kind of a "cheap" quality to it to the point that I found it distracting. It kind of reminded me of someone that would be broadcasting a demolition derby on a local UHF channel.

I understand that Anderson is a Milwaukee Brewers announcer and if I was a Brewers fan maybe he would grow on me but I really doubt it.* I am sure that he is a nice guy and all but.....

Sorry, Brian.

*Considering the other Brian Anderson's out there: 1. Current Red Sox outfielder (.227 career average) 2. Retired pitcher with many teams including the Royals (82-83, 4.72 career ERA), that name is just not working for people in baseball. I bet if Brady Anderson was named Brian Anderson, he would not have hit 50 home runs that year.
