Awesome news!

will continue broadcasting for the Jayhawks though

Oh boy I really thought Billy was going to make it.

How many innings was he doing this past season anyway?

This makes me happy.

THANK YOU SWEET JESUS!!!!!

SWIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!!

Now if Hudler could just get some kind of voice box infection that takes a year to heal....

Time to call up my boy Tommy Thrall from the T-Bones.....sounds a lot like Denny Matthews.

Good. Listening to that guy is like having a pair of 40 penny nails driven in your ears.

Don't care, get Rex outta the booth.

Davis needs to go to change the organization's culture of losing. I equate his voice with bad, bad baseball.

I'm old enough to remember Denny Matthews when the Royals were champions, so he doesn't bother me. Denny is the Royals version of Ernie Harwell for Detroit.

Thank the good Lord!
Now about the "wonder dog"...

Bob Davis is the sound of winning to my ears... #rockchalk #championship

:-)

Really I guess these other folks love losers, go figure that one out.

Little known fact... when Mitch Holtus (sp?) was hired to be the voice of the Chiefs Bob Davis was second in line. Littler known fact... my boss was third.

Enjoy a good life Bob.

He was doing Royals baseball?

Why would anyone listen to anything about the Royals?

FYP.

This is great news, as I can now completely avoid him.

Good! He was ****ing awful

People that aren't whiney bitches. :)

Royals fans often listen to hear things about the Royals.

Maybe they'll hire someone who actually reveals the score of the game more than twice per 9 innings.

Bob Davis: "Bottom of the 8th, and the Tigers are in a jam here. Royals have runners at 2nd and 3rd with just one out. It's been a competitive game so far and both teams have done damage, but this might be the Royals chance to break it open."

Me: "THE SCORE, BOB!? WHAT THE **** IS THE SCORE!!!!!????"

:LOL:

God does exist.

Great for college basketball, utterly horrid for baseball.

There's a drive! DEEEP to RIGHT FIELD!!!! AAAAANND..... CAUGHT BY the second baseman.

Good riddance!

Although I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed laughing at his baseball broadcasts early in the season when he was still used to calling games at the fast pace of college basketball.

One of the worst bits of his announcing went something like this:

"And there's a grounder to..(LONG PAUSE)..the shortstop who gloves it..long throw..OUT AT FIRST BASE!" (Bob, it's Escobar! Escobar! Not only is it the 8th inning and Escobar's been our shortstop the entire game but it's freakin' July and our shortstop's been Escobar since Opening Day!)

I went to college with Tommy. Nice guy and he has a great voice for baseball broadcasts.

Get Dave Armstrong out there again. MARK QUINN WALKS...WOW!

that is not shit! We listened in the car one night and for over a full inning we never once got a score. We timed it at 17 minutes before we got a score.

I was like "surely after 3 outs we will get the score when they change sides.." nope!

Buddy Blattner was the best!

SWISHHHHHHH!!!!!

This X 1,000

No need to cry in our beers about this. Rather have Rex gone X10

Rex is the one that needs to go. He is unlistenable.

fyp

i'm a fan. Ergo, I listen.

"I WOULD EAT THE CORN OUT OF JEFF WITHEY'S POOP!"
Just calm down, Bob.....easy.....easy....
"SWIIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!!"
