The @FSMidwest broadcast in infinitely better with Tim McCarver instead of Al Hrabosky. I never thought I'd say that. Truth hurts.

Tim McCarver is better than Ricky and Al like bunions are better than ingrown toenails. #stlcards

Tim McCarver is doing color commentary for the Cardinals. I think I just heard the whole world breathe a sigh of disappointment.

Cardinals bring back Tim McCarver to be an analyst on FSN Midwest. Still trying to figure out why…

And I cannot escape Tim McCarver. He's on this Brewers/Cards game and he wants my ears to fall off from all the dumb.
