Wow!

That Blake ejection was weak. Ejections like that make the umpire the main show. Go home and eject the dog or something.

I could listen to Scully call ballgames forever. And this is from an Oakland A's fan.
Vinny is the one thing in life that is virtually unchanged since I moved to Southern California in 1964. He is one of the game's gods. I can take or leave the Dodgers, but I watch them religiously merely to listen to Vinny. He is truly without a peer, and he's the only guy around that doesn't use--or need--a color commentator. What a joy it is not hearing a blathering ex-player like Joe Morgan stealing his time. And as an 80-year-old in his 61st year calling games, he hasn't lost much, I'll tell you that.

Vincent Edward Scully ... there will never be a greater voice of this great game.
