Television broadcast announcer Joe Buck appeared to anger the majority of Cubs fans on Twitter for his coverage of the National League Championship series with the Cubs and Dodgers. CubsHQ should know because we were inundated with direct messages and emails with fans not satisfied with his call of several games in the series.

A large part of the Twitterverse was angry on his "biased" coverage of the event and many patrons muted the channel or synched the television coverage with a radio broadcast. So it doesn't surprise anyone that more people are irritated to discover that Joe Buck will now be the announcer for the epic World Series between the Cubs and Indians.

However, there is a petition that was made to replace Joe Buck with legendary broadcaster and former MLB player Bob Uecker for all the World Series broadcasts. This is no joke as the petition has already been signed by 14,727 supporters as of Monday morning.

"Bob Uecker is Bob Uecker - a national treasure. And his portrayal of an Indians broadcaster in the movie "Major League" is all-time great," petition stated. "Replacing Joe Buck with Uecker would put one of the truly great entertainers in the game on its biggest stage."

Gee, it couldn't have had anything to do with the fact that Joe Buck is the announcer for the hated Cardinals, could it?

Another reason why Cubs fans are insufferable. :tongue2:

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Joe Buck only got to where he is today because of one reason: his dad was Jack Buck.

He is the Kent Dorfman of MLB.  A legacy.

We absolutely don't care who wins this series but watched a little of Game 1, and both thought the announcers demonstrated a pro-Cubs bias. Even Joe Buck.  :shrug:
