Wheels was a Major League apologist/pollyanna for awful Phillies' teams during the years when Bill Giles was the president and called the Phillies a "small market" team. Now, he's a master of the obvious and trite, tries too hard and pales in comparison to both Gary Mathews and Larry Andersen, neither of whom will go down as all-time color commentators.
My wife, a baseball enthusiast by marriage, offered tonight that "it's just painful to listen to him."
Tom McCarthy, the Phillies' very good play-by-play man, deserves better.
So do the fans.
