What happened to Joe Buck's voice? Does he have a disease or something? This year he constantly sounds like he has to clear his throat.

Fox announcer Joe Buck can better appreciate what athletes mean when they say injuries turned out to be a blessing that made them appreciate what they already had.
Sports Television

By Michael McCarthy

Fox announcer Joe Buck, here prepping for the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis, is working his way back after suffering an injury to one of his vocal cords.
Fox announcer Joe Buck, here prepping for the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis, is working his way back after suffering an injury to one of his vocal cords.

Buck nearly lost his voice and career over the last four months as he fought off a nerve ailment in his left vocal cord.

He has been doing vocal exercises and taking singing lessons as part of his rehab. Although he can't go off on a call like new Fox colleague Gus Johnson, Buck will call Fox's telecast of Major League Baseball's 82nd All-Star Game on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET).

The telecast will mark 42-year-old Buck's first big, national event since his illness. The son of legendary St. Louis Cardinals announcer Jack Buck will be in the booth with partner Tim McCarver for a record 13th All-Star Game.

"When you get into it as somebody's kid, and you're around it your whole life, it just kind of seems like second nature," Buck said Sunday. "But when the idea of it is hanging in the balance or you feel like it may be taken away from you, you start thinking, 'My God, I really do love what I do.' I'd rather work than not work. I'd rather do a game than not do a game."

Until a few months ago, Buck led a seemingly charmed life. He started calling Fox's MLB and NFL games in his mid-20s. He serves as lead play-by-play announcer for Fox's baseball and football coverage. However, he has had his career disasters. In June 2009, Joe Buck Live premiered on HBO, and comedian Artie Lange proceeded to embarrass Buck, telling him he should not have left the play-by-play arena. Buck couldn't rein in Lange. HBO dropped the show after three episodes.

But nothing has been like the last few months. The trouble started for Buck after calling Super Bowl XLV. He caught a virus that weakened his left vocal cord. With therapy, Buck's pipes are back to about 85% to 90%, he told columnist Dan Caesar of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Despite a sometimes hoarse voice, he has called eight regional baseball telecasts on Fox this season.

The illness has "made me stronger. And reminded me how much I love what I do," Buck said.

Can't remember who on ESPN's Around the Horn show today said it but he ended up being correct on saying that the AL would struggle with pitching due to having too many quality pitchers unavailable today because most had pitched on Saturday and Sunday.

AL had the more powerful lineup but the NL was able to use Halladay and Lee for almost half the game while the AL had nothing similar.

+ Cash from what I read. K-rod is probably gcnna be the 8th inning guy even though both him and Oxford are pretty good closers.

As for this guy Cristian Rodriguez(Said fan who caught Jeter's ball and then gave it back) I think it was kind of a dumb ass move especially after finding out this poor guy is 200,000 dollars in debt from College Loans.

Shocker. But then again, Melvin got a flare for the unexpected.

Of course we're all wondering if they're gonna let his game option kick in or this is just going to be a rental.

As long as he doesn't play in around 21 more games, Brewers can use him as either a setup or closer depending on the situation. Brewers don't want that $17+ million option clause to kick in or else K-Rod becomes another 1-and-done player for the Brewers.

Brewers didn't want to wait for Heath Bell and the only other player the Brewers had considered would have required the team to pay most of his salary.

I'm going to try to predict the Cubs firesale.

Matt Garza- Red Sox. I think the Red Sox will make a big play for Garza. Elsbury in play? Probably not, but it will have to be a deal, sweet with great prospects.

Aramis Ramirez- Angels or Giants. His trade value is as high as its ever been in a long time. Both these teams need a big bat to make a final playoff push. The Giants make so much sense and if I was Jim Hendy, I would demand Bumgarner. The Angels have prospects.

Carlos Marmol- I'll be outraged if Hendry can't trade Marmol for something decent. Marshall would be better off as closer and Marmol is still a fairly attractive trade chip. I'm going to say he goes to the Twins.

Why every time you post do I think you're a Red Sox fan? I'm gonna take a guess are you a Reds fan? I don't think the Red Sox are gonna get Garza. Truth be told I can see the Red Sox trading for Beltran.

Ya, Reds fans. I don't talk about them that much in here though because 1) they've been rather Curtis Blanderson this season, and 2) this thread is a lot more interesting when it's not just everyone posting a comment about their favorite team and nobody engages anyone.

The kid who caught Jeter's 3,000 ball keeps getting luckier by the minute.

If the IRS hits him with taxes, Miller Brewing Co. will foot the bill.

Modell's will donate 5% of all Yankees merchandise sold from July 13-19 to the guy to cover his $100,000 college debts.

Brewers' GM says K Rod and Axford will both close games. When has closer by committee ever worked? This could be interesting.

I'd imagine once Axford blows just 1 game (let's be real he will and probably sooner rather than later) they'll just go to K-Rod every time unless he really blows (he might)

The Texas Rangers should trade for Carlos Pena.

That swing...in that ballpark...he'd be awesome for that team.

Yeah, but since they probably aren't going to be buyers...I was thinking of a place where he could go, have an impact, and contribute for the remainder of this season and into the Playoffs.

So, evidently, no sooner are they underway with this Roger Clemens trail, than a mistrial is declared.

Dumb mistake by the prosecution side but considering ESPN or some other place had details about some of the jurors, I wouldn't have been surprised if the jury decided on a mistrial as well if it had gone on that long.

A few of them sounded like legit dumbasses in terms of sports or knowledge of what the case is about. I think one of them didn't understand how perjury is a crime or what steroids was.

The jury was made up of 10 females, 2 males, and 4 alternates. Unless the women were sports savvy, he probably would have walked anyway.

Time to evaluate the Padres' best trading chips, and what club, in my opinion, they match up best to.

RYAN LUDWICK-LF
245/310/390 11HR 55RBI 14DBL

Though not having a banner year offensively, Ludwick has put up a respectable line despite hitting in one of, if not arguably the worst hitter's park in all of baseball. He is the Padres' number one offensive trading piece, and the Padres will likely move him come the trading deadline, if not earlier. A few teams could use the help, but the CINCINNATI REDS seem to be the best fit. Jonny Gomes' 218/345/417 line has left much to be desired this season in Cincy, and Ludwick getting inserted into the middle of that lineup looks like the best fit for him and the team.

MIKE ADAMS-RHP
3-1 1.32 ERA 41K 6BB 1SV 23H

Adams might be the most attractive bullpen piece up for grabs for the Padres, not only due to his numbers this season, but also due to the fact that an acquiring team would have him for the final two months or so of the season, as well as next season. He has yet to have a bad season since coming to San Diego, and has appeared in at least 50 games in 3 of the last 4 seasons. Padres are rumored to be looking for a team's best prospect in return, and have a good amount of leverage with Adams due to his team controlled status through the end of 2012. The New York Yankees, with all the injuries their bullpen has suffered, seems like the best fit for Adams, and they have a few young players who could be moved to appease the Padres.

HEATH BELL-RHP
2-3 2.43ERA 27K 13BB 26SV

Bell has converted all but one save opportunity this year, where a lead was blown due to a throwing error. He's been one of the best closers in the game since he took over for the departing Trevor Hoffman in 2009. Bell is a free agent at the end of the season, so his trade value may not be as high as Adams'. He has stated, however, that he's more than willing to accept a set up role if it means having a chance at a championship. The St. Louis Cardinals have been the team mentioned most for Bell, who could easily slot into their closer role.

CHAD QUALLS
4-3 2.70ERA 24K 12BB 0SV 40H

Qualls is having a good bounce back season after struggling mightily all season in 2010. He likely does not have much value, but is still a strong candidate to be moved to any team looking to pad the bullpen.

SLEEPER PICKS

CHASE HEADLEY-3B
.299/.391/.401 2HR 31RBI 25DBL

Headley is finally having the season that resembles what he was scouted as having the potential to do. His power is sapped from batting primarily left handed at PETCO park, but every other offensive stat across the board has shown great improvement over 2010's production. Headley has more power than he's show, and could be a 15HR type hitter in a more neutral ballpark. He's also controllable for the next few years, and is one of the better defensive 3rd baseman in the league. Jed Hoyer has said Headley's a guy he'd like to build around, but with 3rd baseman James Darnell getting closer, and top prospect Jedd Gyorko seemingly fast tracking himself to the bigs, Headley could be moved for a package of prospects. The team seemingly in most need is the Reds. Rolen's production has fallen off a cliff this season, and Headley is a nice, controllable upgrade there. The only issue is Rolen is due $6mil for next season, and I have a hard time seeing any team taking on that salary without the Reds picking up the tab.
