In honor of the baseball playoffs starting today, two quotes (sorry, no links) from my two favorite color-men.
Tim McCarver: That was a real Linda Ronstadt fastball.
Announcer: A Linda Ronstadt fastball?
McCarver: Yeah. Blue Bayou.
----------
There was a game in -- I think -- Yankee Stadium. At any rate, both teams' bullpens were way out in left field.
A batter got hit and the benches cleared. Pointless milling about and yelling.
The doors of the bullpens flew open and the respective pitching staffs jogged, in two-by-two harmony, across the entire field until they, too, were engaged in pointless milling about and yelling.
Joe Morgan: Why do they do that?
Announcer: Do what?
Morgan: Run all the way from over there. They just have to leave the bullpen and they can start shoving each other right away.
