I Love Vin Scully

he'll be fine w/ that

I keep waiting for the announcement that he'll only do home games from now on. And thats cool with me.

Confession time: I kind of agree with zaxxon25 upthread. I'd rather listen to a good 2-man booth than solo Vin.

i would like solo vin for one game of each series. some of his stories (where does he get them?) get repetitive over three or four games.

all games on all networks should be required to show vin's mid-game monologue, tho. then they can get back to this one.

"here's yonder alonso. you might wonder about the name 'yonder' and what kind of name it is. well, believe it or not, his parents made it up. but he's 6'2" and 240 pounds and no one's going to make fun of him about it."

now I got Charley Steiner on the radio... Vin doesn't do the ends of games?

steiner does radio, vin does tv iirc

I listened to Scully plenty last season on Gameday Audio, though, and I thought they just used radio feeds.

ah never mind... the TV I've got is the Padres'

out with a cold for the dodgers' home opener

first missed opening day since 1977

that's when i was born! O_o

charley steiner looks like hell, although i didn't realize that he's 62

back in the day i remember being impressed that tom landry was the only coach the cowboys ever had, but dude had nothing on our vin

Vin Scully was spitting heat today

vin has been going hammer tonight

- told a nice yarn about freddie freeman and his father

- gave the swedish translation for "uggla"

- after a chipper homer: "chipper jones has played with 363 different teammates as a brave. of course, in atlanta, 363 is known as the number of wins for the great warren spahn"

watching this game on local TV, Scully and a tie game.

"chipper jones has played with 363 different teammates as a brave. of course, in atlanta, 363 is known as the number of wins for the great warren spahn"

the flip side of this vin scully trip is he'd only get to call the friday night game because fox and espn will inflict joe buck and friends on us for the national games saturday and sunday

vin scully's first communion

[As Kotsay fans, following talk of his past as a six-year-old BMX champ] "He is a far cry from the Kotsay of years ago. I can tell you that."

I understand he was talkin' BABIP last night.

he also said 'buttocks' twice on sunday

no one narrates a brawl like scully

how long has he been citing Fangraphs?

Scully set to return for 65th season

that is amazing, he must be having a blast with this years team.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of this season, and there is no way I could leave this truly remarkable team and our great fans," Scully said. "With my wife Sandi's blessing, I've decided I'd like to come back and do it again next season. I love what the new ownership has brought to the team, and the energy provided by the fans, who have packed renovated Dodger Stadium. It reminds me that other than being home with my family, there is no place else I'd rather be."

on radio for 6 innings of every Dodger playoff game

watching the Dodger Giants game.

9/25/2013

they play a song up here, it's a very catchy son "Bye-Bye, Baby!" which was the home run call by Russ Hodges who was the voice of the New York Giants who broadcast the Bobby Thomson home run and went almost hysterical when Booby's home run beat the Dodgers in the Playoff and then, of course. Russ came out and was a tremendous favorite here and while they were playing that song i couldn't help but think...i remember standing in Russ Hodges kitchen with Ernie Harwell and the three of us were singing "Harmony". Never thought about it really until just right now listening to "Bye-Bye, Baby!" and of course Russ will never be forgotten up here or in New York as well.

the best

of any sport

came across thie tonight:
http://www.insidesocal.com/tomhoffarth/2013/09/29/q-and-a-scully-on-mccain-champange-and-really-how-can-you-complain-about-wanting-to-come-back/

Q: Speaking of more nonsense, what about the reaction to the Dodgers players who jumped into the pool in Arizona?
A: I’ll be honest: I sat in the booth and watched after they won. I had no knowledge about it until people told me, and I didn’t give it a thought. The park was empty. What’s the difference?
The thing that really concerned me was when Senator McCain made his remarks about it. With all the troubles going on in this world, where we are relying on his judgment and ability to maintain relationships, staying calm . . . the only thing I could think of was as a politician forever trying to please his constituents, perhaps he responded so he could say, ‘See, I’m one of you. I’m mad too.’ It still concerned me that a man of such high authority and overwhelming responsibilities in this mad-house world could possibly make the statement he made. It was shocking. If that’s his best judgment, to say that (via Twitter), then I’m really scared.

I hafta say McCain has scared me more previously.

"Puig is always thinking about the next base, the way the horse is thinking about the next bucket of oats."

omg that vin quote about mccain. pretty positive vin voted for him too. dude is an every sunday church attending catholic.

which equals crazy right-winger, huh
*smash my head against the punk rock*
