I know it's heresy, but Vin is really not that good. If you catch one game a series, he's okay, but you can only hear "Uggla, in Swedish, means owl", once in a lifetime, not three games in a row.

Walk Off HBP

In reply to Vin Scully Talks A Lot, Science Proves
Does the "Deuces wild, two on, two outs, two-two count, in the second inning" count? That's Vin's perfect storm phrase.

Maybe they didn't count repeated phrases.

"One in the books, he is perfect tonight."
"Two innings in, pitching perfectly."
...
"After six, on his way to a perfect game."
"Seven down. No hits. No walks. So far, still perfect."

Why is WSJ doing sports?
Vin is the best. Like TC said, he's in the booth by himself so it's not really that verbose compare to a Yankees broadcast on YES or Red Sox on NESN. I think both have 3 men booth.

San Francisco's announcer came in last with 55.44 words per minute, proving it is in fact, hard to talk with a cock in your mouth

@HernandezStache: Sick burn, son. That was very topical, because there are in fact a number of prominent "gay" people living in the greater San Francisco area.

Vin earned that ass cushion. You're darn right he should be proud of it.

Did they really need to have him hold a life-sized replica of his prostate for the picture?

Man the "Stop the insanity" chick is now reduced to holding one of Vin Scully's balls. Just sad.

Vin Scully came in first, at 143.51

If you count "cocksucker" as one word, Scully finished the first inning at an even 144.

That picture was taken a few years back right before Vin's audition to be a "Fly Girl" on In Living Color.

Strange. For some reason, Harry Kalas' numbers are way off this year.

I could listen to Scully read the phonebook and not get bored. They need to get him back to broadcasting all of the postseason games like he did pre the Fox corporate takeover.

And AJ, isn't Leitch's blog called the "Experience," not the "Experiment" - or am I missing something?

@Craig Eshericks Mustache: It's actually the Will Leitch Experiment, or "WLX". They play hidden camera pranks like:

-having crying white girls pop out of Willie McGee's pantry

-Having Liam Neeson show up for what he thinks is a Broadway audition called "The John Rocker Conversation"
