Gameday Audio 6/3/09
Time to check in after another week-long gap in my "baseball on the radio" posts. My listening has indeed been down lately. I can't really site a specific reason. Good thing is it's a long season and, if the noise of the kids permits, I'm sure I'll get back in the swing of things before too long.
It's after midnight on the East Coast and so I'm listening to some late West Coast baseball. There are three options with ongoing games in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Seattle. I choose the last option.
It's my first listen to a Seattle broadcast on the hometown KIRO feed. The M's are locked in a 2-2 tie with the visiting Orioles in the 9th inning. So far the Mariner announcers sound like two older-sounding white guys with rather monotone voices. These guys definitely do not fit the profile I expected for the urban-chic city of Seattle, but they'll do for the moment.
The MLB audio is giving me local commercials tonight, which I really appreciate since the Pacific Northwest is so foreign to me 3000+ miles away in Southwest Florida. Commercials for the Seattle Pacific Credit Union and the Dairy Farmers of Washington have given me a little of that local flavor I so enjoy. But what about Starbucks? Or Seattle's Best? It's late here in Florida. I need some caffeine -- if only through the magic of internet radio!
