It’s about that time once again…rate the local MLB announcers!

This is the fourth time in five years we’re doing these rankings, and unlike in prior years, we’re dumping all of the polls into one giant post.

There isn’t a grading criteria here aside from “enjoyability” – if you like a crew for whatever reason, give them a good grade. If you don’t like a team for whatever reason, give them a bad grade. If you like the analyst but don’t like the play by play broadcaster (or vice versa), weigh your grade properly. You’re grading the broadcast team as a whole, not each announcer separately.

As usual, there will be two entries for the White Sox (for the final time), home and road, thanks to the uh…differing opinions about their two primary play by play broadcasters.

Polls will be open through 10 PM ET on Friday, July 27th. That’s right – more time than ever before this year.

If I left a broadcaster out, please complain to me on Twitter. I was using the teams’ websites as a reference (with Wikipedia as a secondary check), and some teams haven’t bothered updating their broadcasters section for years.
