For some reason, sports fans hate baseball announcer Joe Buck so much that they’ll heap hate on his play-by-plays…when it’s not even him.
Tonight, Twitter erupted in a Buck-bashing bacchanalia again during game 1 of the World Series between the Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. Buck’s name was trending. Not in a good way:
Words can't describe how much I hate having to listen to Joe Buck

Love how Joe Buck takes a ten minute verbal walk around the block to tell a ten-second story.

This is the least I've cared about a World Series in a while. Also why is "Joe Buck" trending?

Because. Hate!
I can also state with conviction that I hate Joe Buck as an announcer and as a human being.

The game hasn't even started and Joe Buck is trending. People really don't have something better to do? Go get a beer or something.
