NL leading 1-0 on a Matt Holliday home run.  Wow I'd love to get that guy.  It looks like Duke might be coming in next.

I'm sorry, I stand corrected.  Joe Buck would tell me that it's "Duck", not "Duke".

Luckily Duke didn't throw up on the mound.

Years ago I had unbelievable seats for Oklahoma vs. Syracuse and it was well over 100 degrees on the field. Donovan McNabb wasn’t used to the weather and he puked all over the field and right in front of our seats when he came off the field.

No idea why I posted this but it just made me remember as opposed to trying to misremember.

by JLaff on Jul 15, 2008 7:51 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It's like you throw a hard fastball up there

and at the last second, you just give a little tug on a string and slow it down a bit.

It refers only to a deceptive changeup, though.

There are really quite a few good announcers on radio

True

one of the things I’ve noticed (and it REALLY pissed me off) was how good, how prepared and gracious the television announcers for the Yankees were. I HATE the Yankees, but they talked glowingly about the Coliseum and showed it in a light that I see it in when I go, but most people (non-A’s fans, I suppose) don’t see it in. It made it almost worse that they were so good and so kind.

Excellent point. I think that most announcers try to make themselves bigger

....oh, every half-inning or so…the man is a moron. My mother, drunk and on a handful of oxycodone, could color a better game.
