YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Huuuuuuuge double-play!

 

[Howie115]

He and George Kell were one helluva name butchering duo on TV. Lol

We used to store all those Kell-isms in our heads and regurgitate them at lunchtime in school. Like, "He broke the bat half in two!"

 

[Howie115]

J-Dubs is FILTHY.

The law firm of Wilson and Wilson looks good.....Maybe we have a few guys we can count on in the pen.

Ernie, George, and to a lesser degree Al, were from an era where commentators did not over-analyze things. They did not have an enormous amount of stats at their fingertips. Listening to them was listening to your dad, uncle, or grandad talk about the game. Folksy

I can still hear him trying to say Gary DiSarcina.

Kell definitely knew the game was on TELEVISION. He didn't over-talk shit like some of today's TV play-by-play guys. He knew when the visuals were enough.

And I always said about Ernie -- you could tune in any time during a game, and never know from the tone of his voice who was winning the game. A true pro.

LOL... or TITO Fee-EN-TAS (Tito Fuentes).

Little less Strohs influence from the pro's, but I can't speak to everybody's family.

[themuzzer]

Woot Woot, one more run, I'll take it......I bet all my V-Cash on the Tigers on a away game.......Come on Jack Pot Baby!!!!!!

 

[Howie115]

Well, HEY... Upton is in the hit column.

 

[themuzzer]

Big Bloop by Upton!!!! It still counts......Come on Miggy and make the fans go home!!!!!!

 

[Howie115]

I can hear him, honestly.

Had a great voice.

Friendly Arkansas drawl.

 

[themuzzer]

Pins and needles time........Just throw strikes, no need to dance around the plate and rack up base runners with walks.

 

[Howie115]

Iggy AGAIN!

 

[themuzzer]

Hell we needed that shift to get him out. Almost still got a hit off the shift.

 

[themuzzer]

And here we go
