Good riddanceGuess what Red Sox fans? Our ears will no longer have to hear the awful announcing that comes out of the mouth of Glenn Geffner on the radio.

The Florida Marlins announced today that they have hired Geffner to be one of their play-by-play announcers for the upcoming 2008 season. Geffner will also host the pregame and postgame shows as well.

“The Florida Marlins organization is thrilled to welcome Glenn and his family back to South Florida,” Marlins senior vice president of communications and broadcasting P.J. Loyello said. “Although we received significant interest from many qualified candidates, Glenn’s impressive baseball background, coupled with his desire to be an active member of our organization and community, made him the right choice. Fans across the Florida Marlins Radio Network will enjoy listening to longtime great Dave Van Horne and Glenn for many years to come, starting with our first broadcast on March 1.”

Somewhere right now, Joe Castiglione is celebrating Geffner’s departure. I also have to wonder what Lou over at 38cliches.com is going to do with his time now.
