I can't believe there are actually people out there who don't like Vin Scully.

Vin Scully is without a doubt the greatest commentator in any sport. I am ashamed of any of you who do not agree. He may be a little past his prime, but he still is the best. Do you not like Rick Monday either?

Vlad puddle story

He should tell that one again. It is great.

I'm giving Figgins a big F U. Seattle isn't winning 90. I am not worried.

Rick Monday is an abomination

But Vin Scully is the best ever, still.

Damn

I was hoping this was the name your favorite Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School poll?

Hey matt', what's your take on the Dodgers' #27?

I know!

I wish everyone everywhere agreed with my opinions too! There would be a DH in the NL, Al Gore would be President and Ticketmaster would have to pay ME to order tickets from them.

Fucked up world we live in...

Wait...he did what?

Better then...

Having Steve Physioc saying "THE WIZARD OF OC" twenty times in a 35 minute time span. That just makes me want to shoot myself in the head.

No, it's not.

The only part of Scully's broadcast I enjoyed was when he said he was going to shut up and listen to Vlad bat on Friday.

Mm...

I'll be honest. After playing one of my PS2 Baseball games (forget which one) that had him commentating... There was that point where I'd have heard every single line recorded... then continuing on eeevery tiiime... (and honestly, having nothing was not a way to go) I can't handle his voice anymore..... Lame Reason, but that's it for me...

Chart it up! Game on!

Too much of a good thing dep't

I hear ya.

Monday sucks. Vinny has lost a brain cell or two but is still the best, which maybe says more about the low quality of the guys out there trying to do it than it does about him.

Ervin Santana To AAA! (But only for road games.)

Vin Scully's great

The Buckner call in '86 was on of the all time greats: "It's behind the bag!" The guy is a fan first and a commentator second.

Captain, there are doubt's...

To this day,

I still cannot buy a pack of Farmer John hot dogs without hearing Vin's voice in my head.

ain't that the truth

by LosAngel on Jun 16, 2007 12:20 AM PDT up reply actions

I like Scully

But he tells too many stupid stories. Who could forget the Vlad puddle story? Or the one about Bartolo's pet donkey, Pablo?

by NPCody on Jun 15, 2007 6:20 PM PDT reply actions

I dig the stories but I've never heard the puddle

story. The donkey one I've heard.

Tell you the truth I'm surprise more people don't copy his style.

Still trying to figure out...

LOL

During the series in Anaheim, he called GA "Brady Anderson."

Bring back Al Wisk!!!

Vin Scully

the focal point of all circular logic.

Person one: "why is Vin the greatest?"
Person two: "Because he's VIN SCULLY!"

that would be every vin scully debate i've ever heard.

he's not the worst, but jesus christ...the best ever? bullshit. the guy prattles on forever in that terrible, droning voice of his. during the mets-dodger series last week, he talked for an entire half inning about schoenweis' nut cancer. i've never heard a man so enthralled by testicle-talk.

the man could put me to sleep during a day game in which i had just loaded up on caffiene pills. boring, droning, uninteresting tales, and not a single fucking moment of silence.

I find that

people who grew up on him love him and younger people who did not grow up on him are not too enchanted with him...

by Rev Halofan on Jun 16, 2007 12:36 AM PDT up reply actions

Exactly

Nail, meet hammer.

Wait...he did what?

by ReggieBullits on Jun 16, 2007 10:01 AM PDT up reply actions

finally.

by CaLiKrAzY on Jun 16, 2007 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions

While I agree...

Scully may be the best commentator in baseball, calling him the best in sport may be a bit of a stretch. Saturday Mornings with Keith Jackson, or old-school Chick Hearn are up there as well.

Lamest poster of all-time.

I think you're all forgetting

Jon Miller.

Miller >>>>>>> Scully

by shiftyeyedgoat on Jun 16, 2007 10:01 PM PDT reply actions

We are

exact opposites on this. When I see Jon Miller and his 'Big Red Machine' buddy doing a game, I watch on mute.

Scully paints a picture, whereas Millers panders to Morgan ad nauseum who can't get past the fact that his playing days are over, and that there are teams that may be better than the Reds.
