OK, bKitches, Let's get this started! "A tough slide, a Belly Whopper at best.... OK if he had a sled under him and he was on snow." Looks like Vin is already in mid season form! http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-b...-belly-flops-second-video-190737897--mlb.html
"Belly whopper" has always been my favorite. "Up to his hips in alligators" "best laid plans of mice and men"
"a ground ball to wills... he goes to lefebvre, he goes to parker, double play!" sorry acid flashback
Vin's the best. He always brings his A game. The thought of him retiring soon is depressing. We all better enjoy him this year. Great idea for a thread and nice opening, darth550.
Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Service. I had always thought it was "airline" instead of aerial...but Vinny was determined to tell us that anagram. I love his non-baseball related info, too. I guess the classic is "Ugla means owl in Swedish"...but there are many others. At least once a year, he comes back with the tallest man story (Robert Wadlow, I think) and his sad life. And the Eddie Gaedel story , the Cards dwarf batter, who also had a sad life.
I always find it amusing and sad when someone a fan of another team thinks Vin is too, "boring and slow". It tells me that they probably do not understand the game. Vin is perfect for baseball (of course I could hear him reading trampoline instructions and be content). He understands the pace, the nuances, the internal struggles, and the importance of every moment. Even in blowouts he seems to be able to capture the moment in a way that makes you realize it is but one game.
Marching and chowder society. A one man gang. Public Enemy number one. On Mark Reynolds: "He strikes out so much, he strikes out in batting practice." He then embarrassingly apologized.
Vinny spits on Hitler! http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/4/22/5641490/vin-scully-hot-spit-take-adolf-hitler
Jeff Kellogg was staggered! In fact, he's from Michigan and received a BS in criminal justice..... It's a crime..... to get hit in the mask like that! Fuck YEAH!!!
"a trio of dodgers.......... and it falls in" <--- always loved that one lol any time he spots a little kid in the stands he lights up. love that too
"That's no graveyard, that's an oil well and they just hit a bonanza." Vin on Kemp's HR today versus the VaGiants
