    Lots of great McCarverisms here:

    http://shutuptimmccarver.com/gems.htm

    My favorite one ever was when Tim McCarver said, in the 2003 World Series, "Beckett's retired 19 batters through Six and a third innings, he's having a phenomonal night..."

    Of course, Beckett hadn't retired 19 straight, nor was "straight" ever said. The very definition of Six and a third innings is that 19 batters have been retired... every pitcher who has ever pitched Six and a third has retired 19 batters, regardless of if they were throwing a perfect game or were losing 20-0. Phenomonal indeed!

    - R. Bennett Moreland, Detroit Michigan

    the one my friend and i still recall.....don't remember the game but the batter hit the ball at the pitcher and old timmy said "back through the originator" :eek: what a tool

    It's because he's a former Phil. At least there's one broadcaster not sucking LA's penis. ;)

    That's funny, I just talked to a guy I work with who's from Philly and he said he thought McCarver was very biased towards the Dodgers. I, personally, didn't notice it, but I try to ignore McCarver as much as possible. He said something about a changeup like "the pitcher uses all his fingers when he throws the changeup, except the thumb. Most people have thumbs." That's great analysis, Tim.

    By the way, he's also stealing the Dodgers' signs with runners on 2nd (last night) and broadcasting them, where the clubhouse can relay them to the Phillies dugout. I am not kidding. It's not kosher for him to do that.

    Let's hope for a high scoring game. At least Ryan Howard can't hit a breaking ball. Don't count on that lasting though.

    The Dodgers need to score some fucking runs. Stop taking the first 2 strikes. Jesus Christ.

    Also, what do we have to do to hit a HR in that cracker jack box? Missed another chippy by a foot.

    Serving up meaty pitches to the 8 and 9 hitters both games. You let a pitcher kill you, you deserve to lose. It's unbelievable.

    But this game is not over yet. We can't score 3 more runs against Brett Myers?

    Myers isn't fooling anyone. We can do this. 2 more runs. It's the 3rd inning!

    OK, so Blake DeWitt and Casey Blake need to step up.

    Shut them down. You're only 2 runs down. At least Manny will get more at bats every time you load the bases and leave them there. Shit.

    Billingsley looks terrible today. Don't know if it's nerves or just a few bad decisions, but he's not going to last long.

    Gotta get out of the third without giving up more than a run...

    How about not hanging pitches when you have pitchers up, and when you're up 0-2 on batters? Fucking hell.
