Vasgersian Not a Fan of El Caminos, Ozarks - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

I'm not sure if Padres broadcaster Matt Vasgersian disparaged St. Louis residents or El Camino owners, but near the end of the Padres-Cardinals tilt last night he shared some not-so-pleasant thoughts as a couple of fans in the first row reached over the wall going after a batted ball. One of Awful Announcing's readers sent in a transcript (and had the reader learned grammar as a child, this is what it would have looked like):

"As one of the Ozarks finest pours himself out of the grandstands ... (pause) ... and by the way, the Rams should still be in L.A ... Had it with this place already ... (pause) ... Get back in your El Camino and drive back to the Ozarks."

Then with Bard at bat, Matt forgot to hit his cough switch -- in faint audio you hear: "I'm done with this place...I'm so tired of losing here ... it's hotter than [expletive] ... We get our asses kicked every time we come here ... I'm not coming here next year."

Honestly, Matt, don't come -- I don't think anyone in the Gateway City will miss you. Apparently, as Gaslamp Ball points out, this isn't the first time Vasgersian has gotten in trouble in front of the microphone, and it's also worth mentioning that he was one of the announcers who had a drunken Rick Sutcliffe on the air last year.

Update: Vasgersian responds! He was all kidding and stuff, you know?
