World Series on FOX reporter and insider Ken Rosenthal says the key will continue to be the Giants’ pitching. “The question is whether the Giants can extend their run of remarkable pitching for one more series,” said Rosenthal. “A cynic would suggest that they dominated feeble NL West offenses in September, then the depleted Braves in the Division Series, then the overrated Phillies in the NLCS. But at this point, only a fool would sell the Giants short.” For more from Rosenthal click here: http://j.mp/9kYT06 GOREN, SHANKS, BUCK, & MCCARVER PREVIEW RANGERS/GIANTS WORLD SERIES MATCH UP -- MLB on FOX's Emmy Award-winning broadcast team of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were joined by FOX Sports President Eric Shanks and Vice Chairman Ed Goren on a conference call to answer questions and offer previews of this year’s World Series matchup. To listen to a full replay of the call dial 719-457-0820 and enter pass code 5492577 when prompted. BUCK ON THE STORIES AND PERSONALITIES THAT TEXAS AND SAN FRANCISCO BRING TO THE BROADCAST : “I’m really excited about this matchup. We know how the Giants are built and they’re managed really well. They have a really unique clubhouse with tremendous personalities. I don’t think we’ve run across a guy in the postseason since we’ve started that has the personality of Brian Wilson. Texas is such great story and they’re finally here in the World Series in their 50th year. They finally have the pitching to match that lineup. There is a lot there to like. They have a closer that can tough 100mph. From a baseball and momentum standpoint, it’s a tremendous series going in. “ MCCARVER SUMS UP THE MATCHUP : “I look at it like it’s the balanced pitching of the Giants versus Cliff Lee and the offense and speed of Rangers.” GOREN ON WHAT THE MATCHUP SAYS ABOUT MLB’S PARITY : “We talk about parity in any given sports but I don’t know if many realize that in the last six years, the only team in baseball that has been to the World Series twice is in Philadelphia. You have Texas, San Francisco, Yankees, Phillies twice, Tampa, Boston, Colorado, St. Louis, Detroit, White Sox and Astros. For years we heard fans say that we want parity. Well, you’ve got it and it’s a great matchup.” SHANKS ON HAVING THE SAN FRANCISCO AND DALLAS/FT. WORTH MARKETS INVOLVED : “Both of these teams being the top-six markets, it’s only the second time in a decade that two top-six markets have been in the World Series. We always talk about New York, Chicago and LA, but having two top-six markets is a rare thing.” AFC EAST LEADERS TAKE CENTERSTAGE – The 2010 NFL on FOX campaign rolls into Week 8 on Sunday, Oct. 31 at 1:00 PM ET with doubleheader coverage of six enticing matchups - each presented in true HD.

"I applaud the league for what they're doing and I applaud the players for making an adjustment last Sunday, but believe me, there will come a time where there's a bang-bang play and the helmet-to-helmet contact will be unavoidable. I’m anxious to see how the league will respond,” said Lynch. “All this talk has created the perception that the NFL has a bunch of people out there trying to hurt each other and that’s not the case at all. I spoke with Commissioner Goodell last week and I told him I thought it was important that he comes out and changes that perception. I played for 15 years and I always thought one of the greatest things about the game was guys competed as hard as they could but no one was trying to hurt someone. Very few people in my entire career intentionally tried to hurt someone and I think it’s blatantly obvious when they do. Moving forward these players need to be dealt with harshly and be suspended.” -- FOX SPORTS -- .

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

    2003 Cubs just keep on giving via CSN Chicago’s longest-ever documentary By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 8th, 2013 The 2003 Cubs are the one Chica- go baseball team that just keeps on giving through the ages via shocks and surprises. Latest is left fielder Moises Alou, one half of L’Affair Bartman, making a startling admission on a new 90-minute Comcast SportsNet Chicago documentary on the most hopeful, and in the end most frustrating, season- climax in post-1945 Cubs annals. After alternately claiming he "5 Outs..." is the longest original documentary production Comcast SportsNet Chicago has ever done. would have caught or did not have a realistic shot at the infamous Luis Castillo pop foul Steve Bartman deflected just out of his reach, Alou now said he and third baseman Aramis Ramirez quickly prepared to get out of Dodge after the you- know-what hit the fan in Game 6. “I didn’t really like our chances after what happened (in Game 6),” Alou said in an inter- view in “5 Outs…”, the documentary airing at 9 p.m. (CT) Oct. 15 on CSN Chicago. The date is significant – the 10th anniversary of the Game 7 in which Alou and Kerry Wood homered, but also one in which the Cubs caved in during the middle innings to complete the greatest postseason collapse in team history. “I had a gut feeling or a weird feeling,” Alou continued. “They kept coming back...even in that game and the game before....series was 3-1 and tied up 3-3.
