Palmer on umpire Tom Hallion :

"He oughta moonwalk his way over and pick up a rulebook."

This was a classic. He really had me crackin up on this one.

On Bedard not backing up the play with the overthrow:

"Was he holding hands with Johnson?"

On the GS Thome just hit...

"That ball was hit so far I think it set off the fireworks itself"

[Hank Scorpio]

We have to sticky this thing.

On how the third base umpire emphatically called a strike:

You could hurt your rotator cuff doing that.

[The Wedge]

After Markakis throws out a runner trying to stretch a single in to a double:

You should just put the Gold Glove in his locker tomorrow.

[Peace21]

After Markakis throws out a runner trying to stretch a single in to a double:

Having him say that about Nick is just as good as getting the Gold Glove...well maybe not. It is still cool coming from a HOFer.

[The Wedge]

Having him say that about Nick is just as good as getting the Gold Glove...well maybe not. It is still cool coming from a HOFer.

He's been pretty adamant for awhile now about the fact that he gets hosed by virtue of his position not being CF, but that particular quote stuck out as the most adamant yet.

Silo shot in foul territory along the third base lane. Bell goose steps his way over as Wieters runs out:

"Come on Josh...."

Wieters makes the lunging grab in front of Bell's feet.

[Sanfran327]

"There is NOBODY better at driving in runs than Ty Wigginton."

I love the enthusiasm!

[Hank Scorpio]

One thing I really love about Palmer... when they interview him after games, he NEVER looks directly into the camera. It's almost as if he's looking down at the monitors and looking at them on the screens.

You'd have to think he knows the camera's on him, right? What's the deal, here?
