Craig...

If we go to a restaurant and are dissatisfied with our meal...do we have to prove that we can cook the food better ourselves before we can have the right to complain?

When Tampa opens again later this year I am sure that Richard Grunder will be back at his post. He is by most of us the well respected colorful voice of Tampa.
Feel free not to click on the thread anymore if you're bored. It's clearly marked...

Do you even read what you write? You just went through a whole diatribe about how awful it is that there is a long thread criticizing an announcer. How we here might even be jeopardizing his job...

And now your're giving a high five to thaskalos who is arguing AGAINST another guy who AGREES with you....when does the silliness end?

Gotta be the one announcer that when I used to lurk on these forums I'd just shake my head....even though I think the bashing is overboard as betting patrons I guess they have a right to there opinion

Really no reason to tell us we should come to thisledown and call a race.....

No Im saying I just don't agree with posters on here that can possibly cost a somebody a job......then cj came on and brought up a great analogy with Dwight Howard.......

What u guys are saying about grunder very well may be true and if u guys think he's a weak announcer I'll have to agree with you guys....

What cj said about the tdn post was totally accurate.....just because I don't agree with you guys sandblasting grunder doesn't mean what I think u guys are saying is wrong....

And yes I feel obligated to high five thaskalos because he was the one guy out of like 234 that agreed With me on the Dana parham thread!!!!

Pace advantage is like Martin brodeur nothing gets by this guy!!!!

I am trying to figure if it is you (wiffle) or SRU who is leading the meet title for controversial (for lack of a better adjective) posts/threads

I was not making an argument so indeed it would be ridiculous.

Your analogy is correct. But surely there are better things in life to complain about than a race caller?

Actually more like 8-9 horse fields this year. Not that anyone would know as there is a signal dispute going on!
