Legendary college basketball broadcaster Dick Vitale is usually one to bring smiles and laughs with his wild calls.
Dickie V wasn't in the mood on Wednesday. The man known for phrases like "this is awesome baby!" and "diaper dandy" was more into telling the Tampa Bay Rays how much they suck.
The Rays traded perhaps the greatest player in franchise history, Evan Longoria, to the Giants for Denard Span, Christian Arroyo and two pitching prospects. Watch Vitale, a Rays season ticket holder, go off as he refers to them as a Triple-A team.
It really is a sad day for @RaysBaseball @Evan3Longoria was a gamer / gave us a legit Star player now we will struggle big time @Yankeesget @Giancarlo818 & what do we get Triple A players / NOT FAIR for those that r loyal & buy season tix! @RogerMooney50 @mjfennelly @MLB pic.twitter.com/uuEnh7LPYo— Dick Vitale (@DickieV) December 20, 2017
Maybe the Giants can send Dickie V a Giants Longoria jersey to make him feel better.
