Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Papa Don't Preach (But He Does Call The Plays)

Steve Kroner has excerpts of an interview with former A's and current Giants broadcaster Greg Papa.
GP: I think Jon (Miller) is a star because of radio. Vin Scully is on TV because of radio. I've never done baseball on radio. ... I've done it on TV and you shouldn't be a star on TV. The analyst should be the star (on TV); Mike Krukow should be the star. ... My job is to facilitate on television everybody else's job and to make it easy to watch. My call on TV is sometimes nothing. It's very simple. They can see everything.
With Joe "the schmuck" Angel gone to his reward (or Baltimore), the only remaining problems with Bay Area baseball telecasting are Bip "hey guys" Roberts and Hank Greenwald's incessant "uhhh"'s--but I think that'll go away when he gets fully back into the swing of it. He's not exactly inexperienced.
Of course, this doesn't include the horrible, awful, very bad Tim McCarver and Joe Buck of Fox's national telecasts, but I just turn off the TV when they're doing the game, 'cause it usually means Krukow and Kuiper or Jon Miller is on the radio.
