Al Trautwig, yea or nay?

Al gets a lot of flack in both the tour broadcasts and at Ironman Kona.  Personally I like the guy, I think he does a creditable job, he's better than he used to be.  Consider the fact that over the past number of years we've had to endure:

John Tesh:  Keyboard player turns tour announcer.  And you thought American Idol was a bad deal?

Sam Posey:  Race car driver / announcer also gives it a shot.  Better than Tesh, but I just can never get over his last name.

Kirsten Gumm:  More picturesque, especially in her sophomore year after the infamous "boob job" but lacked credibility.

Now for the current announcers:

Craig Hummer:  GACKKK!!  Lose this guy fast.  Tries too hard to put a comical moronic spin on everything he says.  Another last name faux pas.

Frankie Andreu:  Good rider, sorta OK announcer, but his accent makes a Bostonian sound like he can properly say "Park The Car In The Harvard Yard."  Fingernails on a chalkboard.  There has to be someone better.  Davis Phinney?

Bobke:  Classic, Tour Day France crackpot.  A keeper.

Paul Sherwen:  Only criticism is that he starts every sentence with the final words of Phil Liggett's last sentence.  Other than that, he's great.

Phil Liggett:  A god.  Makes mistakes, but they're offset by his knowledge and memories of past races.  Nuff said.
