The 2012 Jim Palmer Quotables Thread

[weams]

"If I was a starting pitcher in 2012, I would want Jeff Nelson calling my games"

"I played on teams that were better, just about every year defensively..."

[weams]

Gary "This is the loudest place I've ever seen. It's nauseating."

Jim "A lot of retirees, maybe they don't even know it's loud"

Don't know about about that quote, but Gary did say ladies love cool jams. I'm floored Thorne knew that, off the top of his head.

Gary goes Clubbing. He's like an MC or DJ anyway. I am certain that he can rap.

"Amazing thing... his velocity in 2010 was 89.9...2012 94 mph. A time ago...they would have been doing some checking."

Yeah, I heard this too. Palmer is obviously skeptical of Aceves' recent success.

[Ooooooohhhh!!!!]

I don't think I'm doing this justice, but my fuzzy memory from last night...

Palmer said he was talking to Podsednik who said his mother looks so young that people often think she's his sister. Palmer said something to Podsednik to the effect of, "when can I meet her?" Thorne then said, "You know we're on the air, right?" and Palmer replies, "I'm just kidding. I'm a happily married man."

Well played, Jim.

I don't know how anyone can not like Palmer. He's hilarious. As mentioned earlier in the thread my favorite Palmer quote was when he was talking about landing the #1 overall pick in the draft, and how it's great but not exactly where you want to be. He pulled a Charlie Sheen and said something to to the tune of "Well yea I don't think anyone who gets the #1 pick says to themself, Winning! Duh!". I nearly fell to the floor.

I believe he asked "Is she single?" Had me cackling.

Bottom of the 9th, with Jim Johnson seemingly in command, Palmer remarked about the Bosox fans: "They're clapping a lot now--I don't know what about." Unfortunately, they did get something to cheer about a few pitches later.

"Now he makes the call? Come on, pay attention. Was he out of the base line? Should he have called him out? So there you go."

Saturday afternoon as the scoreboard shows the announcement that the Orioles acquired Jim Thome....

Palmer: "Can he pitch?"

[TonySoprano]

On Andino dropping what should have been an out on a throw from Wieters.

"They give you a glove to catch the ball."

[OrioleParkatWrigley]

Did anyone else catch when the cameraman focused on a family with two little girls shuffling down the aisle?

Palmer [about the 5 year old girl]: "I think she wants the beer!"

The whole exchange was hilarious.
