Roy Firestone Series (vs. ANGELS, 7/25)

[Sessh]

Oh, ground rule double. Villar's steal pays off.

[SteveA]

Stevie makes up for it with his bat.

Good thing Villar stole 2nd, he would have been sent back to 3rd on the ground rule double even though he 100% would have scored on it... stupid rule.

Gary--- Why not as happy?  

Stop. Gary calls the game as it happens. He's no homer, he's a professional. If the opposing team beats our ass he calls it that way.

He still owes the team, and us, one run.

That ball didn't travel as well as I thought.

Gary's bad vision gets us overly excited again. Out #3...

[SteveA]

Jeez a work night, a West coast game where one of the starters was a super slow worker, and now we're staring down the barrel of extra innings.  Wonder if I can function tomorrow on 4 hours of sleep?

Listen to other announcers..  We are the only team who has "opposite" homers.  He was waayyy too happy at that missed play by Stevie.  I want to hear just a little disappointment when we give up a deflating play, not excitement.  Also, professionals don't drink on the job.

That's been the case for a lot of balls tonight that really seemed hit off the bat.

 2 runs ........ the Angels scored 3 runs on that play that he muffed.

On the same subject, it's a team game, and we win and lose as a team.

I've done it every day for two weeks. Suck it up. It's Friday. Not like you have to actually work!

You're right of course. I was thinking he'd driven in two.

That commercial doesn't make sense if you think about it.

"When a bear is chasing you, you take off faster than a toupee in a fan factory".  And it shows the bank of fans and the guy's toupee lifting up.

But it's a fan FACTORY.  Where they MAKE fans.  So why would there be a big bank of fans going?

Deep thoughts.

Agree to disagree.
