I snipped your comment about idiot announcer, but you using Dick Enberg, douche, and idiot speaks volumes -- about you.

Drake had no business pointing at Gonzalez. Just toss him and be done with it. Umpires hate getting shown up, so why point fingers and show up the players?

Gonzalez clearly got what he deserved, but Drake just makes it worse (and makes himself look bad) by dropping down to the same level as players/managers that want to throw fits.

Drake was brutal behind the plate, and he had probably been hearing about it for the entire game.

Also, Enberg has an extensive baseball background, having played college ball as well as coaching the San Fernando Valley State baseball team from 1961 to 1965. I would say that, combined with all the major league baseball he has covered with style and flair, makes him one of the best announcers in the business. We San Diegans are very happy that he is the new lead TV play-by-play guy.
