According to a statement from Fox Sports and sent, it says, on behalf of Fox Sports West and the Angels, Rex Hudler and Steve Physioc will no longer cover Angels games for the local sports network.

Theeeeeeere’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow!
The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye,
And it looks like it’s climbing clear up to the sky!

Oh, what a beautiful mornin’!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’
Everything’s goin’ my way!

Living in Ohio, I never see an Angles broadcast, but Physioc used to do Reds games, and I have heard interviews with Hudler, so I just wanted to offer my congradulations to all Angels fans.

Best offseason ever.

It will be interesting next year. There are things that Hudler brought to the table, okay, thing that he brought to the table, namely enthusiasm.

Physioc is an acceptable USC basketball announcer. Assuming he's still doing that.

There must be people out there that will actually miss these guys. It's natural; people love familiarity and people got used to these guys calling games. Maybe there's even a small part of me that will miss Hudler's hyper-enthusiastic VLADDY DADDYs and GETTIN' FIGGY WITH ITs. I also feel bad cheering someone losing their job, no matter their station in life, and Hudler and Physioc do at least come off as nice guys.

(Larry David voice) Having said that, thank #### and good riddance.

I may actually watch a few Angels games next year.

I can't figure out what the #### should be.

Now if we could only see the headline "WCBS overrules Yankees, fires Sterling as announcer."

As someone that gets Angels and Dodgers games, and feels neutral about both teams, this move may actually convince me to watch an occasional Angels game. Granted, it's not like the new guys they hire will be better than Vin Scully, but hopefully they won't make my ears beg for sweet merciful death.

Congrats Angels fans!

I'll miss Hud. He is what he is, but he's MUCH more tolerable than Gubicza, who talks non-stop from the first pitch to the last and still never says anything interesting, not even by accident. He doesn't even really have much of a team connection with the fans. Sorry, but his 4.2 innings and 13 earned runs (not a typo) as an Angel doesn't really cut it with me. His Angel career epitomized the failure of the franchise's first 41 years.

Physioc seems like a nice man, but I won't miss him in the booth.

Hudler's hyper-enthusiastic VLADDY DADDYs and GETTIN' FIGGY WITH ITs

My memory is going bad - what did he say when Tim Salmon hit a HR?
   11. Los Angeles El Hombre of Anaheim Posted: November 26, 2009 at 08:16 AM (#3397232)
"Kingfish, goin' UPSTREAM!"

Eh.

What will Rex Hudler do now? Energy drink spokesperson? The new Joe Isuzu?

I'm going to put my money on "barking like a crazy dog while chasing cars up and down his street." That is, until the inevitable happens, and the neighborhood children all have to learn in the most gruesome of ways why even though they seem happier when they can run free, proper care of pets means keeping them out of the streets.

Jim Cramer's new sidekick on Mad Money.

I am so happy these two are gone - esp. Physioc as bad as Hudler was Physioc wrapped himself in the mantle of 'vinnie's boy' - good luck fizz

And for you Rex lest we all forget why just last year around July 'Rex' claimed he was at old Exhibition Stadium in 1983 in Toronto when Dave Winfield hit a seagull with a baseball. Mind you Hudler did not start any NYY games until 1984. There was the memorable afternoon in 2007 when, because of a rain delay, Hudler went on a >8 minute tale of being the one Ed Whitson turned to just prior to mixing it up with Billy Martin in 1985. We Angel fans always knew sometime during the season Hudler would tell us 'Hey Notre Dame offered me a football schollie but de' Yanks drafted me No. 1 in 1978!'

I thought Lenny Dykstra already had this sewn up.

Don't count your chickens yet. Physioc may be back on Angels broadcasts due to Markus' death.
