This is the article I was thinking about, but it turns out he has written quite a few published articles.

he's good. this is a good thing.

I must admit that I have no knowledge of him outside of what I've read, but the reports have been glowing. I am willing to give it a shot. Well I would be iwlling to give Joe Carter another shot because I am going to watch the games no matter how terrible the team and the announcers are.

Never heard of him. Hope he is good

Google is your friend. Plus FanGraphs ranked the Astros team slightly ahead of the Len & Bob team in the MLB broadcasters poll for what it's worth.
