The official Tim McCarverisms thread

[Chizip]

"In baseball the only way to score is through your offense."

"There are shadows over in that corner because of the lack of light."

Brilliant words of wisdom from Joe Morgan yesterday.

joe morgan is another absolute douche who kinda gets a pass because he can't touch the doucheness of mccarver... i saw no douche gets a pass!

I think Piazza has been kind of entertaining.

Did you see his pink tie?

"His strike zone is from his nose to his toes..."

Joe Morgan repeatedly makes me cringe. :shudder:
I second the "no douche goes unpunished" mentality.

"If you're Derek Jeter, you can rule out a curveball here" -- right before Scott Shields throws a curveball and gets Derek Jeter to hit a weak grounder to third

Re: Vladimir Guerrero...

"He stands 6-3"...he has the wingspan of a Condor..."

Yeah, when I heard that, I laughed at Tim's nonsense and had to change the channel.

 

[Danospano]

About Vlad: You left out the other funny part of that quote. Tim said "Vlad's ONLY 6' 3'', but he has the wingspan of a condor". "Only"? Is 6' 3'' considered a dwarf? WTF.

Fox just pulled out "Everybody Hurts" for the WebMD injury report.

God, please take me now.

"I think it was a splitter"
Replay shows pitch running to the side on a horizontal plane ( since Scooter's not here to explain, a splitter should drop), "Yep a splitter"
Replay of pitcher's grip..."It was a running 2 seam fastball".

"he's got good wood"

 

[Friedberg]

What an awsome thread. I never say something like this! McCarver is terrible and is the only commentator who gets the mute button in my house. Funny stuff

Tim: "In the amount of time that this game has lasted, you could fly from Baltimore to Iceland!!"
Joe: "Err...if you're so inclined, I suppose."

 

[DaveC]

Another one, just seconds after I posted that one!

"In this World Series, Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox have played baseball...so far."
