Incidentally,is Shep the first dwarf baseball announcer ? (Isn't he four-feet-nine like my dwarf aunt ?)

I think Matt is trying to gin up some excitement in Mondays game he started yelling "the Tigers tie the game" real score was Baltimore 4 Tigers 2 at the time. I kinda feel sorry for him he gets his lifetime wish and this team really stinks.

Cowboy I don't see what his political likes and how tall he is have anything to do with his calling of games.I think you are just a bigot.

Shepard is in way over his head. You would think after two months of the regular season there would be some improvement, but he’s getting worse.

How long is his contract?

Can sound a bit wooden the few times I've actually tuned in. Hopefully as time goes on and the Tigers improve so will he.

I was joking about his height-I know he's five-one- and he's acceptable as long as he doesn't inject his reactionary politics into the broadcast (and I'd say the same were he as far left as I; please leave your politics at home when you're broadcasting .) I haven't heard him,but Shepard MUST be better than Jimbo and Danny Boy !!!!!!

Actually,Shepard was fine (if a bit stiff) on the Michigan basketball broadcasts with Terry Mills,but he needs much more work to become a competent baseball announcer .

Hey, maybe the Tigers can fire Shep and bring Mike Goldberg back to Detroit!! Remember him? :rollin

(Did Red Wings hockey for a year or two but is best known for his UFC work and for giving one of the worst NFL play by play performances in television history.)

Not to get way off topic, but does John Keating seem to be in love with his voice and/or style?

You just noticed this? He’s been that way for years and seems to like hearing himself talk

It'd be a comedown in salary and prestige,but it'd be great if WDFN or the Ticket hired Greenberg,as he'd be a MAJOR upgrade to the clowns currently wasting valuable airtime . ("Greeny," for example,could replace "Crash and the Croc," as Bob Wojnowski calls Dougie Karsch and Scott "the Blob"-I mean,"the Gator" Anderson.")

Incidentally,believe it or not,fat,dumb good ol' boy Gator will be 50 June 9 . Fifty????? Gator should thank God he's still above ground,as lots of 424-pounders die in their thirties and early-to-mid-forties .
