if you're willing to take oliver perez as well then you have a deal

How good is his homerun call? Can he also do radio?

if you're willing to take oliver perez and john maine as well then you have a deal

i'll even drive them to the bronx myself

to the untrained ear, the American accent is what makes it sound so cliched and grating

If there's one thing we can all agree on as baseball fans, it's that accents have absolutely nothing to do with anything we're talking about.

I know that all of you hate McCarver, and with good reason, but I actually still like him a little....and the last two nights, while not perfect, he has reminded me why he used to be so good/lauded.

He is still willing to first guess, and analyze things as he sees them before events unfold, rather than watching a replay and rehashing for us what everyone just saw. He foreshadowed Ross' 2nd HR last night and he did a nice job just now of explaining that Ryan Howard was reminding himself to try to go to the opposite field just before he did that very thing.....and while neither of these things are amazingly insightful, I still find them to be informative.

Eh, he's not as bad as others (i.e. Morgan), but he still just says things that mean nothing all the time. When Victorino led off the game, he looked at three straight pitches, which led McCarver to say something like, "When you take pitches from someone who's wild, he's more likely to thread the needle." Which made no sense on a number of levels.

He also thought Huff cutting off the ball in the 7th to try and get Oswalt was the right play because "it was going to ricochet towards first," even though the ball was clearly going to get over the mound and one hop the plate.

Is it 8:07pm yet?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Nope.

 

[gump]

Thanks, GAF, that was very constructive.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Thanks. So was your original question.

 

[gump]

Just excited to see Clifford tonight.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Burnett pitching for you guys tomorrow is almost a win/win scenario, if you think about it.

The way you and NSW have been talking, you have absolutely NO confidence whatsoever in his ability to pitch well. So if he sucks it up, it's expected, and won't be heartbreaking. But if he comes out and pitches a good game, you are elated.

Also, I've been meaning to ask. Why do you have a picture of Harry from Harry and the Hendersons as your avatar?

It will be more infuriating than heartbreaking if he sucks it up as expected. But I hold some hope that Good AJ will show up. It would only be fitting that CC sucks up and AJ does well....

Haha, I never thought this would remind people of Harry and the Hendersons. It's actually a character from a movie I've seen recently (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives). I thought it was somewhat intriguing as an avatar...

Edit: There you go.

 

[gump]

Alright. Let's do it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Haha, nice!

Is it 8:07pm yet?

Why yes, it is.

 

[gump]

Why can't we get a fucking zero in the first inning?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Cool Whip makes it look easy.

 

[DRay9911]

the best tv commentators are the ones who know to shut the fuck up. precious few are capable of this.

You just did in the bottom half.

That was our most crushing loss of the year, easily. What the fuck do you want him to say? He said "This ball game is over" and then let the massive and very loud on-field celebration speak for itself.

 

[gump]

I hope next time Lee pitches at Yankee Stadium he will pitch in the top of the first.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Jorge Posada looks like the rat from Ratatouille.

 

[gump]

A walk by Lee.

This is like a Harley's comet sighting.

 

[No spoken words]

Cliiiiif Lee

There will be a shutout, Cliff Lee.

Hey, the no-hitter is no-more! Progress!

I really would not normally freak out being down 2 games to 1 with 2 more games left at home, but asshole-o the clown pitches tomorrow and that's just not gonna go well. Not saying that this jim-jam is over or anything, but still.

GAF seems pretty drunk.

 

[gump]

80 pitches through 5. Hopefully we they can get him out of this game by the 7th.

THE SWISH! leaps over the wall to rob Cool Whip of his second two run bomb of the night!

This should be everybody's signature or something, because it will be consistently true.
