I absolutely LOVE JK and Panger on our local STL broadcasts, Panger is simply a local treasure here in St Louis - he's probably as well known as guys like Tim McCarver and Joe Buck (baseball guys) and his "holy jumpin", "the old nine o' hearts", "thanks for comin" never get old. I cannot stand Mike Millbury. I agree with everything you said about him - he sounds dull like he couldn't care less about what he's doing. Whenever the Blues are on NBC I just pray it's Doc Emrick, although I don't mind John Forslund or Kenny Albert either. I always in the past would hope for Doc to call our games cause we'd get Olczyk too, but with him having cancer this year we've gotten a lot of Millbury. And NBC can do better than Pierre Mcgwire, but I'd rather have him do national games so we can keep Panger. Panger is great on national games but when he's doing Blues telecasts, HOLY JUMPIN he's the most colorful person interview he world.
