The 2012 Jim Palmer Quotables Thread

[Moose Milligan]

"Where were you last night, Laz? Other than missing calls at first base?"

[baltfan]

Thorne: Good hands by him.

Palmer: I don't think that's a man.

[$Greatness$]

Thorne: Good hands by him.

Palmer: I don't think that's a man.

Jim Palmer is a World-Beater I swear! Lmao!

[Dark Helmet]

I loved his comment after Jones was hit.." If Ortiz was in the game, id hit him right in the Achilles"

Yeah that was good. I really liked when Hunter was questioning if Tillman should hit the batter. Palmer is basically like, "not here, you have to pick you're spot and not when you're trying to win the game. The orioles are in a pennant race, they (the red sox) aren't".

Tom Davis: How hard would it be to hit Darren O'Day with that delivery of his?

Jim Palmer: For me?

Tom Davis: Yeah.

Jim Palmer: Well, very difficult, because I'm 66 and haven't hit.

This one nearly had me in tears, Palmer is great.

Tom Davis: Yeah.

Louis Prima: With all the great players playing ball right now, how well do you think you would do against today's pitchers?

Ty Cobb: Well, I figure against today's pitchers I'd only probably hit about .290

Louis Prima: .290? Well that's amazing, because you batted over .400 a... a whole bunch of times. Now tell us all, we'd all like to know, why do you think you'd only hit .290?

Ty Cobb: Well, I'm 72 f-g years old you ignorant SOB.

[Don Quixote]

Thorne: Good hands by him.

Palmer: I don't think that's a man.

That was Hunter last night, not Thorne.

Agree with Roy re: Tom Davis.

[caesarod]

This entire game is a riot that was unintentional on Davis' part.

Could have been some great Palmer quotes tonight, but he had to deal with Tom Davis with half his brain tied behind his back...

[ScottieBaseball]

Jim Palmer should get hazzard pay for having to work with Tom Davis tonight.

[PaulFolk]

Palmer certainly seemed frustrated by Davis. At one point Palmer was talking about the controversial reversed call, and Davis interrupted with something inane. Palmer sort of sighed and said, "Well, you're missing the point."

[footlong]

Tom Davis led off the game by calling Nick Markakis's lead off double an rbi double. good gawd.

[Mr Snuffleupagus]

Palmer had some good chuckles on behalf of Tom Davis

paraphrasing...

TD: "I don't use email"

Palmer: "You say that like you're proud of it"

TD: "Made it 64 yrs without sending an email, I don't plan on starting now"

Palmer: >chuckles<

TD: "I talk to people Jim"

Palmer: >chuckles<

Hopefully we don't need to start a Tom Davis quotables thread.

Palmer was great last night, as usual just telling it like it is. I still say Davis peaked in the late 80s when he read the out-of-town scores between innings and wandered the stands stealing people's food.
