We Get Press releases

All I want for Christmas is Steve Physioc announcing for any one of 29 other baseball teams. But I do not think it will be under the tree this year...

Press release in the email inbox:

Are you already suffering from Angels’ withdrawl? Then come get your Halos fix at ESPN Zone Anaheim Thursday, November 12. AM 830’s Steven Physioc and Jeff Biggs will broadcast their Angels 2009 Season Review Show live from the restaurant from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The duo will go over the previous season, as well as discuss potential deals that could occur during the off season. Plus, special guests be calling in to throw in their two cents on the future of the Angels and great team prizes will be raffled off. Hope you can make it!

Only time I ever heard him referred to as "Steven" Physioc.

He always makes me feel good about myself.

God needed a starter. RIP #34

Am I the only one who doesn't despise Physioc on here?

I understand that he is FAR from perfect but we all just had to listen to Joe Buck, Tim McCarver and Buck Martinez during this offseason. Physioc is god compared to those guys.

Phys isn't that bad

He sure takes a lot of heat. But, I agree about Tim McCarver being just awful. I don’t don’t understand how he keeps his job with all of the “clever” sayings he tries to interject.

But while we’re on the subject, bring back Dick Enberg. It would be awesome to hear him end his broadcast career with the Angels.

OK, I'm finally over losing Tex. Thanks Kendry.

Plus don't forget...

the most annoying sound in the World is Buck Martinez saying “Jonathon Papelbon”

I think the FBI uses an endless loop of BM to drive out gunmen holed up in buildings.

Dick Enberg ... ah, the memories

I started following the Angels in 1971. I remember the radio team was Dick Enberg and Don Wells. Then Don Drysdale following Wells.
So many nights as a kid I listened to Enberg’s voice from a little AM radio under my pillow that I snuck into bed with me (especially if Nolan Ryan was on the mound… I think it was Enberg who started calling him Ryan’s Express). I recorded the special that, I believe, was on channel 9 after the Angel’s 2002 WS that Dick Enberg hosted, and he sounded like the Angels have a spot near his heart. I don’t know if he would have the slightest interest in going back to being an announcer with all the travel and such, but boy, I would love to hear his voice calling an Angel’s game again. In my mind, like Vin Scully will always be the “voice” I associate most with the Dodgers, Dick’s voice is the same to me for the Angels, regardless of the fact it’s been years since he called a game for them.

by Hoppity Hooper on Nov 12, 2009 7:31 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Enberg has interest (or at least he did)

I remember seeing an interview several years ago where Enberg said he would love to someday go back to baseball, possibly to finish up his career. I can’t image a better fit and a better PR move for the Angels. I, too, have fond memories of hearing his voice describing the action. And this was back in the day before the Angels had much success. Imagine him now having the opportunity to call some meaningful games.

In my opinion this would be the best free agent signing possible. ;)

OK, I'm finally over losing Tex. Thanks Kendry.

McCarver blows dead goat.

Buck Martinez blows McCarver.

McCarver

I enjoyed his tales during Game 2 of stories he had read in the “Orange County Times”.

It isn’t a crime to forget the name of the Register, but the LA Times is one of the most famous papers in the entire US.

Call in question #1:

“Hey, Steve, do you think you can call on ESPN to pop for an upgrade to that giant EGA monitor they are using above the front door to show games in progress?”

Had I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could have saved America.

Maybe he's going for the "Howard" Kendrick effect. Also, I don't despise him either!

He be makin’ all the right calls, too, mon when they be playin’ the game!

RIP Nick Adenhart.

Of course he praised the Yankees pretty much right away.

Personally I just want him to go announce for an East Coast team and let’s get someone who really loves the Angels. That’s just my opinion though.

I actually miss Phys

after 1 month+ of TBS and FOX broadcasts. I feel so dirty.

I missed Rex…mainly cause I just wanted to hear from someone cheering for our team, That was the reason I turned down the volume on the tv and turned on the radio.

by angelsfan777 on Nov 12, 2009 4:21 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

+1000

Joe Buck, Tim McCarver and Buck Martinez all cheering the Yankees made me nauseous. I wanted to hear Rex’s voice during the playoffs ,saying positive things about the Angels—he would have been the perfect counterpoint to those 3 bozos from the networks. Even Phyzz would have been a major upgrade.
Get Rex on the broadcast team for next year!

Exactly

It was disgusting how Buck/McCarver/Martinez made little to no attempt to sound the slightest bit impartial in their coverage. They fawned over every routine play made by Jeter as if he’d made an Ozzie-esque circus grab, and they always seemed to have little clips of the Yankee players ready complete with heroic soundtrack music, but I don’t recall seeing much of the same for the Phillie players (or Angels).
I’m sure if they had their way, the Yankees would automatically be in the series every year, with their opponent getting all the same respect that the Washington Generals get compared to the Harlem Globetrotters.

Oddly enough

the person on the Angel’s broadcasting team who annoys me is Mark Gubicza, but I know it’s not fair because it has nothing to do with his voice or coverage at all. It’s just that for me he represents an era of the Angels where they always seemed to be getting guys who were either past their prime or broken down. The Angels traded Chili Davis to the Royals to get him. Chili had hit .292/28/95 for the Angels that year, and the next year with the Royals he hit .279/30/90. And what did we get with Gubicza? 2 games, 0 – 1, 25.07 ERA. I understand that is just baseball, and as I said, probably not fair to Mark to hold it against him, but he just represents to me all the various Von Hayes/Hubie Brooks/Kelly Gruber etc players the Angels were getting at that time.

Who the hell wrote the press release?

“withdrawl”?!?

Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over?

Somebody wrote this, someone above him or her approved it for release, and neither of them knows how to spell withdrawal?

“w – i – t – h – d – r – a – w – l” is how those same Catholics speak , when in Texas.
