Rob Dibble fired, maybe we can get him as an announcer.

Don’t need a guy like Dibble. As cliched as Gubi is, I’d much rather have him and Rojas—or go after Hud and get him back—than this drivel.

I’d rather have someone with a connection to the Angels, like Tim Salmon or Darin Erstadt come back and do color.

Yes, I would like Hud back. Yes they might not be top notch, but they get the job done capably. I actually happen to really like Rojas. He calls the game very well, which is his job. He provides some spice that Physioc did not have. Gubi is definitely not my favorite but oh well.

But you suggest Dibble? Dear god, I would rather stick glass-encrusted Q-tips into my ears than hear that guy spew crap.

We have a quality broadcast crew. Its our TEAM that is shit. These guys should be paid overtime for having to talk about this 2010 team.

Where is he, holed up inside the Big A operating its new jumbotron and LED bespeckled halo? When are they going to let him out of there?

That is why all us nerd revel in his demise.

No way Victor is going anywhere. No way Terry is going anywhere. Angels might “change the eye level” with Gubi, who knows? Jose Mota… I think it was a stopgap because of the sudden departure of Rory.

Gubi is way better than Dibble. That is how bad Dibble is.

His unapologetic meat-head act is probably really compelling to fellow tough-guy egomaniacs like Roger Clemens, but personally I’d rather hear Gubi riff about the stadium food, as painful as that is. At least Gubi has a sense of humor.

Smith is awesome, Victor is awesome, Mota is needed as the one guy who can interpret our spanish speaking players, and Gubi is tolerable now that we are aware of his 4 recycled cliches and can use them for comedy’s sake.

a trade of Gubi/Hud would round out the rotation nicely, but thats a longshot. I think Victor paired with Hud would be AMAZING.

This might be the worst single suggestion I’ve ever heard on Halos Heaven.

I just think pairing him with Mota doesn’t work. I would like to see Hud come back, but not paired with Smith, either. Hud couldn’t read a line up to save his life. Gubi and Rojas, meh, it could be worse. Actually, they’re not bad, but if I have to hear one more time about how a pitcher needs to stay within his mechanics I think I’m gonna slit my throat. Well, maybe not mine, but somebody’s gonna pay a price.

BTW, I would like to see a piece done on, say, the 10 worst postings ever. That would definitely be worth wasting work time.

He’s balanced but has enthusiasm for the Halos, he’s got a good strong voice, and he’s makes funny and insightful comments. What more do you want?
And Gubi’s no brain surgeon, but he and Rojas have some humorous banter together and BY GOD Victor’s an improvement over Fizz.

Rehire Physioc, maybe lure Mitch Williams away from the MLB Network to be sideline reporter, and you have an epic broadcast team with a rich and storied legacy with our beloved Angels.

I wrote a fanpost ’bout this. Like to hear it? Here it goes…

May I suggest Mr. Curtis Granderson!

… Shouldn’t be tolerated anymore. Its a useless and tired arguement that EVERYONE has a different opinion on. Which, usually leads to name calling and generally just puts a bad taste in mouths. Rory is gone, Rojas is here to stay. Get over it. If and when the Angels replace someone then we can discuss it. But until then I think this topic is a pointless discussion, unless of course the point is too start a name calling war.

Since I’ve been a member here(2006). I have seen numerous posts on this topic and it never amounts to anything but a heated arguement with no conclusion but animosity. In my opinion, If you have that big of a problem with it, write the Angels. I for 1 am tired of these “hire/fire announcers” threads on my favorite website.

Funny at times, but he never misses an opportunity to be a bastard.

Look, I miss Rory too, and Victor Rojas was terribly green at the start of the season. But he has shown steady improvement since, and he is learning to bring a spry sense of humor into play. I laughed at the Mel Stottlemyre Night joke he made early in tonight’s (Friday’s) game when both pitching coaches were making lots of trips to the mound. I believe that he will round into form nicely over the next few years.

Gubi is another matter. I liked him a lot with Rory, and I strongly endorsed his replacing Hud in the booth (although I agree it was a blunder to banish Hud completely from the coverage). Gubi however doesn’t seem to be a good match with Victor for some reason. I could see replacing him on the TV side and moving him over to radio with Terry. Terry and Gubi are apparently childhood friends, and they get along superbly.

Now, who could we get for TV color instead of Gubi? My vote offhand would be for Chuck Finley. He is absolutely hilarious, and just salty enough to blend well with Victor’s niceness.
