| #1 Posted on 7.5.04 1927.20 Reposted on: 7.5.11 1928.54 | I don't know how many of the rest of you know who Ken Wilson is, considering he mostly does Blues games. But I've always thought of him as a pretty darn great announcer. Anyway, the Blues fired him and I really don't get why. Well I do, but it's silly stuff.
Anyway, he isn't taking it well at all, as you can see:

| #3 Posted on 11.5.04 0800.47 Reposted on: 11.5.11 0802.29 | I'm kinda with Stagger here. You shouldn't treat a guy like that, even though he was incredibly annoying. "Oh, baby" got old about 2 seconds before I heard it the first time. Those still living in St. Louis has there been any talk on who they might get to replace him? | wmatistic
