Poll

Robin Roberts. Felt like keepin' it in the Phillies family.

Also, boo to mlbtv, yesterday got the Mets announcers but today the Phillies announcers? They are the most emotionless, boring announcers to listen to in my opinion. Does mlb.tv just pick which announcing team to go with at random? Or do they have some sort of system that I'm unaware of?

usally the home teams feed

unless some technical limitation prevents it

Thanks

Yeah I suppose that would make sense. Maybe my memory is off though, but I could swear that it doesn't always work out that way, seems more like a 75-25 thing to me when it comes to using the home teams announcers.

that one announcer

sounds like the guy from NLF films to me

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:03 PM EDT up reply actions

er, NFL that is

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:04 PM EDT up reply actions

It's really

the older guy (sounds older anyway, the guy with the deep voice) that gets to me. The only way you know he's excited is that he raises his voice and speaks more slowly.

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions

I think

It's Harry Kalas

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 8:19 PM EDT up reply actions

That's because

It is.

Pretty impressive career

he's had. Guess I'm among the minority who isn't into him. He does know his stuff and reports the facts well. He's just a bit too monotone for me I guess. I suppose I'm nitpicking

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions

And as I type that

he gets excited about a HR haha. I've had a bad streak the last few nights

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah its Harry Kalas

Who is also the voice of NFL films.

Good to see Carlos rip one out

Even though he always hits here, and that was an absolute cookie from Eaton.

by TheFlushingKings on Aug 28, 2007 7:38 PM EDT reply actions

Sure

I go out to get some food and miss some actual production from Delgado. I heard from the Twins announcers when they were doing their "around the majors" type spiel that he crushed it though.

ryan howard sucks at defense

soooooo bad

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:03 PM EDT reply actions

Ha

Nice try Jose

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 8:22 PM EDT reply actions

no way, Jose

Nice try, though, Reyes dropping the ball to try to get the DP there. That shows a little more situational awareness than I thought Reyes had.

by anonymous on Aug 28, 2007 8:23 PM EDT reply actions

rub some dirt on it

he looks ok. lets hope he is.

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:30 PM EDT reply actions

Damn - Carlos missed it by thaaaaat much.

Alice: "The Nortons are having a fight." Ralph: "What do you want me to do, take on the winner?"

by Mr. Met on Aug 28, 2007 8:40 PM EDT reply actions

I thought Delgado had that one

Just missed it...but that was a pretty bad AB, otherwise. He swung at ball four on three straight pitches after he got the count to 3-0.

so nice

to have endy making that play and not green.

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:54 PM EDT reply actions

no HRs

and solid D will win this game

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:56 PM EDT reply actions

PH for Glavine?

he only has 87 pitches and also 20% of the mets hit total today

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 8:58 PM EDT reply actions

33%

by kendynamo on Aug 28, 2007 9:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Phew!

Pretty scary there

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:32 PM EDT reply actions

You gotta be kidding me

Nice throw by PLD to set it up.

Good freakin' lord

That just sucks

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:39 PM EDT reply actions

Momentum

shifting. WTF is next?

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:40 PM EDT reply actions

This is why

you can't take a 2-0 lead in the first couple of innings and sit back and say, "Well, we've got a lead and our pitcher is cruising. Good job, guys." You need to keep adding on to your lead and getting runners home.

"I'm Tim Teufel, let me begin by saying I was once a Twin/I made the move and it feels just right/I've been Metsmerized and I see the light."

by TheFlushingKings on Aug 28, 2007 9:47 PM EDT reply actions

Mota? Really?

by DoctorK16 on Aug 28, 2007 9:53 PM EDT reply actions

My sentiments

also.

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions

Lookin good so far

Please just one more Mota? Pretty please?

by The Irresistable Force on Aug 28, 2007 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions

Mota did a great job

by DoctorK16 on Aug 28, 2007 10:02 PM EDT reply actions

Sure did

one reason why he's so irritating, he's got good enough stuff with or without steroids it seems, just has these inexplicable meltdowns. Good job this time though.
