[edit] Bias

The issue of bias has been brought up by several different editors. At this point, it is time to include at least a sentence or two on the subject. Since this is Tim's 'time of year, we shouldn't wait long before adding the appropriate language. Thoughts? Coffeemilk 05:54, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't know one single big Yankee fan who doesn't hate McCarver and think he's biased against the Yankees. Why not mention this, too? Tim 4:49 Oct. 29 2005 UTC.

Then all the "big yankee fans" you know are retarded because he is clearly biased against whomever the yankees are playing.Zzz345zzz

It speaks to the subjective nature of the section. It should be removed. 1 Tim 5:30 Oct. 11, 2006

[edit] Last World Series Player To Steal Home Plate

Anyone know if that is still true? 71.194.6.238 03:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stupid Statements

I think at this point a section on the stupid things Tim says on air needs to exist. I think he is losing his mind. mikeford 6:03 Nov. 03 2005

I agree mccarver is an idiot. remember when a ball hit off the top of the monster and he said that if the seats weren't there it would be a hr because of the net. also brandon arroyo

I'm pretty sure that McCarver had a stroke several years ago, but hasn't been diagnosed yet. I have a vague memory of him talking about Derek Jeter's eyes at one point during the 2004 playoffs. Anyway, I added a link to Shut Up Tim McCarver, which may get removed but which I feel is valid at least partially because it shows up as the third hit when one Googles McCarver.

[edit] Mark Wahlberg fastball

Actually, McCarver said something along the lines of Mark Wohlberg, sounding more like a combination of the last names of Mark Wahlberg and Mark Wohlers. I heard it, and others have reported it too, so it might be worth mentioning in the article. -Ramrod? 00:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone should add that Mark Wahlberg's name is not Wohlberg, as McCarver spoke it. That is a detail that makes his gaffe even more wrong. And more awesome. Terriblefriend 22:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] McCarver and Carlton deaths, 60 feet, 6 inches

The para needs a source, but what the heck...I laughed so hard, I almost blew an artery...let it go.... hahahahaha Luigibob 13:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
