Vin Scully calls it like he sees it

June 4th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

I think if Vin Scully narrated my daily life like the voice in that Will Ferrell movie Stranger than Fiction, I’d be OK with it. Well, actually, it would probably drive me up the wall. But the fact that I even entertained the idea of it, the very notion of my life being captioned by another man’s voice, means the dude holds some serious clout in my book. (Or at least in my blog. Because I don’t have a book.)

Case in point, Matt Kemp gets a little testy here over nothing, a brawl ensues and Scully just drops this one: “Oh, that’s too bad. It was a very good ballgame up to now.”

So calm. So reserved. So awesome. If Gus Johnson was calling this fight, I think his head would have exploded.

Larry Bowa got angry

April 2nd, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

One of the signs baseball is officially here? The manager — or in this case Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa — going insane in an argument with an ump. The best part of this is that it has nothing to do with a balls or strikes call or whether a player was safe or out. No: Bowa apparently got pissy because the ump gave him lip for not being in the coach’s box.

Vin Scully provides some dulcet commentary to the fun here. I could listen to that man’s voice all day.
