Ok Phillies fans, this question has to do more with the Phillies Announcers, do you guys like Dan Wheeler? Personally I find him to be annoying and a complete moron.

You must be new.
Fans in Philly only wish he was somebody (else) named Dan.

On a semi-related note, for real entertainment, GOOGLE: "Heave the Hawk". White Sox fans re: announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrleson. It's something else.

"He Gone!"

Actually I've been a Phillies fan my whole life and the guy I would like to see next to Harry would be Richie Ashburn, good ol' Whitey, but unfortunantly he has left us.:(

I cannot stand Wheeler either. He is a very knowledgable baseball fan and knows what he is talking about. However, the way he talks and sounds like a little 9 year old girl just gets on my nerves.

I also am not a big fan of LA either. He is a real nice guy, but wayyyyy too boring. Sometimes I don't even know he is there.

Wheels has developed an odd habit lately of not listening to the person he's partnered with at all, and will talk over top, ignore commentary or just carry on a conversation with himself for minues at a time; and his trademark "See, I knew that was going to happen" post-mortem call is the most annoying in all of baseball.

I think Weels has a great knowledge of the game except he uses it to annoy the crap outta people. He talks and talks and talks. For example the pitcher throws a slider my buddy chris will nicely tell us why he threw a slider--- HE WILL TELL US FOR AN HOUR! I think weeler has the potential to be a good announcer he just needs to learn when to shut up every once in a while.

Aw come on:( Larry anderson is the Man. I personely think he is funny. He is a fun gut to listen to. I dont think he is boring at all.

I sent Kruk one of those fruit and nut baskets at the hospital. I don't know if he likes fruit, but I know he'll appreciate the nuts.

I've heard that Hawk guy from Chicago, I coulnt stand listening to him, I had to turn off the Chi-sox games. That's one guy I'd rather have Wheeler over.

Ya. Of course you have ESPN constantly playing his calls like he is the white version of Stuart Scott...

With all your pitching woes, maybe you can trade your Dan Wheeler for the Astros' Dan Wheeler (http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=235095).

The Phils announcer is Chris Wheeler, not Dan, if there was a mixup.
