Would you have a problem if a certain baseball Announcer was announcing your teams Playoff games?

Question

I'm asking this b/c i been hearing some Yankee fans have a problem that Ron Darling a Met Announcer will be announcing some of the Yankee Playoff games. What are your thoughts on this & would you have a problem if a certain Announcer announced your games if your team is/where in the Playoffs? For me the only one i would have a problem with is Gary Cohen the other Met Announcer. I heard one of his Playoffs games when he announced a Yankee Playoff game on Radio(For ESPN Radio i believe) & needless to say in my opinion anyway that his hatred & biased against the Yanks really showed. I hope Howie Rose gets to do his share of games as i feel he's one of the very few who's not biased. I'm not asking these announcers to kiss my teams fanny but at least be fair & objective.

Update:

I also include Buck but we sadly know he will be doing the Fox games anyway. What i meant in my question was that lets just say that one of the Dodger announcers was picked to announce a Giants Playoff game. Would you have a problem with it like some Yankee Fans have a problem that Darling( A Met Announcer) will be announcing some of the Yankeee games.

I would not bother me who announced my teams games. As long as they are not biased towards one team or another then I am cool with whoever.

TBS, who will be broadcasting a lot of the play off games, are an anti- Yankees channel because they have connection with the Braves and the Yankees beat the Braves multiple times during the 90's. I like Ron Darling, much better than Cohen and Hernandez from SNY who are much more Mets biased than Darling. I don't like the Fox, TBS, or YES announcers at all even though I'm a Yankees fan. I like ESPN if anything.

How the hell do they have a problem with Ron Darling, but yet the same people will listen to John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman?

Ron Darling is so much better.

I don't understand the problem. If you don't like him, turn down the sound and turn on the damn radio. I guess they're just getting warmed up for all the complaining they'll be doing after the Yankees go in three straight.

I'm no fan of Joe Buck, and I don't mind Ron Darling but I much prefer hearing John Flaherty, David Cone and John Singleton, over everyone on TBS and Fox most of the announcers seem to be anti Yankees.

Yeah I would, if the Giants made the playoffs I don't want to hear guys like Buck and McCarver. I want to hear and watch the guys that have been calling Giants games for a long long time...Kruk and Kuip. I wouldn't mind ESPN tho, with Jon Miller and Morgan.

Ron Darling's okay. Sometimes I think I'd rather listen to him than fat negative Michael Kay (regular announcer for the Yankees who never played 1 stinkin' MLB inning in his entire life. at least he admits he never played pro ball)

I'm definitly going to miss Michael Kay's and the YES Network's broadcast of the games, but I won't be happy when I'm listening to Joe Morgan on ESPN. It will be enough for me to complain about, but I'm still going to watch anyway!

Kinda. It's always weird for me to have to listen to guys who aren't Don Orsillo or Jerry Remy, but anyone that's not Joe Buck, Tim McCarver or Joe Morgan is fine by me
