Vin Scully is not our guy.

I started writing a satirical post, following in the same vain as everyone else but I just couldn't go through with it.
It's like bashing a favorite grandparent, or a Nobel Peace prize winner,.
So let me affirm, Vin Scully IS our guy :)
I'll come back with something a little easier, like "Sandy Koufax is not our guy."
Like, he couldn't win when it counted, as in Game 2 of the 1966 World Series.

If you are going to play the game you have make an effort to dump on him.
1. He’s old
2. He’s fixated on pitch counts – when did he start giving us updates on pitching counts every other pitch
3. He’s old
4. He’s helped kill more pigs in the world then anyone in history with his friendly reminders to eat Farmer Jon sausages.
5. He’s not going to live forever – I think we can hold that against him
6. He’s not annoying – I’m come to expect all broadcasters in all sports to be annoying so he’s messing with my stereotype by not conforming to my expectations.
7. He doesn’t blather about when something majestic happens. How am I supposed to know when to be excited if he doesn’t tell us how exciting a moment it is.
8. Crowd noise is overrated.
9. He makes more references to dead people in one evening then a tour through the Arlington Cemetery.
10. He had red hair
Nice list
Don’t forget the obsession with kids at the game :)

11. It gets really annoying to hear Vin’s voice on the telecast when all you want to do is kick back and enjoy the sweet, sweet ivory tickling of Nancy Bea Hefley.

That is an awesome photo
Nancy Bea in shades and something sparkly, nearly Elton John mode.

- Lacks catch phrase that sticks in your head forever because it is so annoying
- The rouge on his cheeks is either a little too heavy or a little too red (really need Andrew back to assess this one properly)
- Is not a team player because he refuses to travel east of Denver, subjecting us to a two-man team with Steve Lyons
- Uses old colloquialisms that I have to explain to my daughter, and sometimes to my wife (she never hear “full of beans” as a positive attribute)
- Quotes songs so old, even Phil and I don’t know them

I laughed out loud at this one.
