    I actually think McCarthy is decent at football and hoops, so not a deliberate bashing session. He's just always been terrible at being the Phils' play by play.

    GT

    take the best of all four and it still wouldn’t beat any prior album.
    Good guess...incorrect, however. 
    thing about the last four….every single one has multiple cringe worthy songs.
    I think that would be true of Backspacer, LB and, maybe Gigaton....but not DM. 
    Nothing Special?


    That's one. He said multiple.
    Ok, agree.  I'm not a setting sun guy but that isn't bad.

    Just watched those inside park videos. I remembered those but, yeah, pretty crazy how they were "walk offs." For some reason I didn't remember them as being walk offs.

    That Dernier video, especially, is a thing of beauty. Good ol' Video Dan Stephenson always found ways to make even some of the worst Phillies teams seem like all time greats. The slow-motion shots of Leyva in the bullpen? hahaha.....so dramatic!



    Also.....now I hate Tom McCarthy even more. Guess he's always cursed to follow Harry but, my god, he is just absolutely nothing compared to HK. Paling in comparison to his counterpart on the radio never helps his cause as well. 

    God speed fellas!

    I remember the Bob Dernier one more-so than the Abreu one. The Dernier one was one of my fav HK calls. Also one of the few highlights from the '89 season. Also had that '89 Phillies season VHS tape :lol: (I think I had the one before or after it also).
