He and Dan Shulman have been the biggest signings the Jays have made this off-season :lol:

If this is an April Fool's joke I am going to burn down someone's house.

The toughest part of his job will be dealing with Zaun.

I just hope Keri isn't a 'yes man' and actually criticizes management if necessary.

Besides Zaun ( rather you agree with him or not) nobody else says anything negative at all, which makes for boring TV!

Very excited for this. Jonah always has great insight. Along with Shulman again, I really like the voices we're adding to the experience. Should be a fun year.

That's exactly why I like Zaun too. He has some idiotic opinions but between the Jays and the Raptors he's the only one not afraid to go against the grain and ruffle feathers. Tabler and Buck drive me nuts with their boring, recycled predictable comments. Tabler hasn't made an original or interesting comment since he was hired.

I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

If only he (or anyone) could replace either Siddall or Tabby in the booth.

I've been joking about doing it for years, but finally got around to adding his sweet old Grantland Podcast theme song as my ring tone. Now all phone calls are "Jonah Keri is on the phone" lol ...

When was Dan Shulman signed? I thought he was just doing the opener but I guess he is on full time? Do we really need 3 guys?

He was signed back in November. They said he would be doing upwards of 30 games this season and next. I have no idea how they will be spread out though.

If 3 means we get Shulman, then yes, yes we do.

I would easily kick Buck out of the booth for more Shulman time.
