8/5 at KC

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yankees lose.

Holmes is pumpkining nicely

 

[E5 Yaz]

Orioles, Rays, White Sox win
Blue Jays, Guardians lose
Mariners trailing mid-game

 

[Van Everyman]

X putting on a performance art tribute to his empty OPS season tonight. Instead of complaining about trades, maybe look in the mirror and realize that your season is a huge part of why Vaz was let go.

Yeah fuck that guy, what has he ever done for us anyway?

 

[budcrew08]

This game is going past three and a half hours.

 

[LynnRice75]

Orioles, Rays, White Sox win
Blue Jays, Guardians lose
Mariners trailing mid-game

Sure would help if about 4 teams went into prolonged slumps.
One of them not being us, of course.

 

[MuzzyField]

Price Chopper sounds like fun.

 

[patinorange]

Those are some strange swings.

 

[Bergs]

Yeah fuck that guy, what has he ever done for us anyway?

I just sent this as a PM to someone else, but fuck it. I'll copy paste:

You know....I'll bet if you mined my gamethread posts for the last decade, it would look like I hate X. Nothing could be further from the truth...I ADORE him...which is probably why it pisses me off so much when he gets into easily diagnosable bad habits that lead to poor results. I think he could have been a HOF'er.

 

[scottyno]

Yankees lose.

Benintendi is 2/24 since the trade. Maybe they should pick up JBJ for an offensive upgrade.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I would not have guessed it’s a supermarket.

Embedded BoSox!

So you do still hate him?

 

[scottyno]

Hosmer really needs to get better at aiming his 400+ foot bombs

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Hosmer and Pham have had a whole lotta good looking at bats so far.

 

[Van Everyman]

Benintendi is 2/24 since the trade. Maybe they should pick up JBJ for an offensive upgrade.

It’s the vaccine they made him take!

 

[Bergs]

So you do still hate him?

You're just jealous you weren't the one I was PMing with. But you know I love you.

 

[Looch]

That Hosmer at bat was so much better than what we have been enured to from first base batters.

 

[Van Everyman]

You're just jealous you weren't the one I was PMing with. But you know I love you.

From the look of your posts I’d guess you hate him.

 

[Bergs]

Hosmer and Pham have had a whole lotta good looking at bats so far.

Right? It's like...I don't know...they're professional baseball players.

 

[scottyno]

Hosmer and Pham have had a whole lotta good looking at bats so far.

They've hit 5 balls today at 99.8+ exit velo, every one has an Xba of at least .410 and they're 1/5. That's really hard to do.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

From the look of your posts I’d guess you hate him.

It's complicated

 

[Van Everyman]

[SemperFidelisSox]

No Houck?

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

A terrible unproductive at bat from JD flailing at ball 3 and 4 killed that inning.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Huh, more Schreiber.

 

[MuzzyField]

It's complicated

Yes, where is the line between frustration and hate?

 

[Bergs]

It's complicated

Van Everyman didn't like Vin Scully. What else do we need to know?

 

[E5 Yaz]

It's complicated

If you want, I can forward you the many, many, many mmmaaannnyyy PM's that he's sent me explaining his feelings about X

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Schreiber throwing that slider like a frisbee.

 

[Van Everyman]

Van Everyman didn't like Vin Scully. What else do we need to know?

What’d he ever do for me?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Van Everyman didn't like Vin Scully. What else do we need to know?

Yeah, I had about five replies to that post written, but decided not to even give it any additional oxygen.

 

[MuzzyField]

Sweet Baby Rays, better than Kraft, but gourmet?

Funny, that was Scully's response as well

I'm busy talking with Moviegoer via PM

For E5 and BMHH, as you know, were Bergs' angels:
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Bergs loved them!
This was the most unkindest cut of all.

 

[scottyno]

Pham and Hosmer with 11 rockets in 6 games, and 3 of them have ended up as hits. This lineup has the potential to start cooking really fast.

 

[Beomoose]

Dirty KC water!

 

[phrenile]

Water.

 

[patinorange]

Drama free ninth. Nice. Water.
Win the next two please.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Sweet Baby Ray’s Water.

 

[Looch]

.500 H2O

 

[scottyno]

3-2 since the first 3 trades, play .600 ball the rest of the way and they're a near lock for the playoffs

 

[MuzzyField]

Hope this opens the floodgates WATER!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Sweet Baby Ray’s Water.

Redundant?

Well, it was Shakespeare Night

Ok, we’ll, let me just ask: under what conditions did you guys fall in love with Vin? Because I’m a Red Sox fan and, well, don’t watch a lot of Dodgers games.

And as noted in my post, my main exposure to him we’re those annoying games of the week with Joe Garagiola in the 80s and “BEHIND THE BAG!!!”

I totally get that the guy was a treasure, and have enjoyed all the clips I’ve seen since he died. But I still am not totally sure how many people outside of Los Angeles developed such a close bond with his voice.

Getting some hot ponytail maintenance tips?

There was this one time ... at band camp

He used to do plenty of national baseball games, NFL games, the Masters, etc. He was way more than the Dodgers' guy. But having had MLB Extra Innings for years, I have also watched plenty of Dodgers games, primarily to hear Vin.

Honestly, for me it was the voice combined with the storytelling. He was the best storyteller in announcing, and he had the experience to back it up. He was just a guy spinning a yarn, the stories were HIS and they were spectacular.

He's been there almost literally since the beginning, and his retirement (and now his passing) leaves an enormous hole in the sporting world.
