Top of the 5th: “Big chopper to Cruz, and Luis … HIGH throw, over the glove of Gonzales, backed up by Ellis. And safely aboard is Rutledge. … So what a comeuppance. I mean, you just hit a home run with a man aboard. You’re feeling great, you go back out, BOOM, you throw it away. But isn’t that baseball.”
Announcing in the middle of the 5th that the Dodgers have drawn over 3,000,000 in attendance for the 26th season: “So with all of that, a bow from the waist, a roll of drums and a blare of bugles to the fans. And let’s go back to this one.”
Top of the 9th: “Rockies have left 11 men on. In fact, pretty hard to find an inning where they were retired in order, and it was only in the 6th. And yet, with all the flailing away, one run. ‘Course, these are not the mighty Rockies, these are small hills.”
Wrapping up after Dodger victory # 84, staying alive in the wild card race: “Well, we will go one game at a time, as the Dodgers win handily over a Rockies team that has now lost 97 times. That’ll do it, until tomorrow. We’ll talk to you then. We wish you all a very pleasant ‘Good Afternoon.’”
Good Afternoon, Vin, until tomorrow!
Thanks for this I bookmarked it on my Stumbleupon account.
