Vin Scully To Be Involved In Opening Day Radio Broadcast

PrintWhen the Dodgers last month moved Opening Day from April 1 to March 31 to accommodate ESPN, the main concern was that, with ESPN owning exclusive broadcast rights, Vin Scully might not broadcast the game. However, the Dodgers put those fears to rest today. Per team vice president of communications, Josh Rawitch, at Inside the Dodgers:
Vin is on board to play a role in the KABC radio broadcast on March 31 and will be in the house. Exact details of what innings he'll call and any other role he might play in the ceremonies have yet to be determined, but rest assured, he has every intention of being here. And we're planning a memorable ceremony that we truly hope our fans will enjoy.
For what it's worth, when we mentioned the idea to Rick Monday and Charley Steiner, both were fully on board. As Rick put it, "It wouldn't be Opening Day without Vin Scully."
So, at least on some level, Scully will be involved in opening day, hopefully both as part of the opening ceremonies on the field and in the booth calling the game against the Giants on radio. He has not missed an home opener since the club moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

That is one of the most (if not the most) impressive runs in modern media history.
I pre-emptively enjoyed some Jolly Ranchers to celebrate
also, LOL at the caption.

Is this the correct usage of irony
that Jon Miller and Vin Scully will be doing radio play by play of this game.
why would that be ironic?
I must not fear .Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
Jon Miller is known to have a pretty good Vin impression?

argh
and all I can get are 80 blog posts linking to the same post on another blog, which no longer has a working link to the video? Blogs linking to blogs linking to blogs. Thats why people hate blogs.

Again this is why I questioned the use of the word
Vin Scully, pretty much the Voice of baseball for over 60 years and Jon Miller, formerly the lead ESPN MLB baseball play by play broadcaster will be doing local radio of this MLB Opening Night while Dan Schulman (whom I like), with Orel and Bobby Valentine (who no doubt will tell a Lasorda story or three) will be doing the game on ESPN.
But you are the one who brought up the word. Color me confused.

A job related question for you
Do you see much value in having 10 nominated best pictures instead of 5.
5 seems too few
10 seems too many. Lets do 7.5

it’s mostly a marketing thing, being nominated for best picture helps sell DVDs and Blu-Rays. With five, you were never going to get a comedy or an animated feature up in there, which was deemed (rightly) unfair.
What they should do is split the category into Best Comedy/Musical and Best Dramatic Feature
Emmy’s do the same thing, the Oscars are the only awards show which choses not to recognize comedic performances.
Underdog
Which awards are actually most coveted by actors/directors/etc.?
I know they make the Oscars out to be the Super Bowl of awards, but if you are a director would you actually rather get recognized by SAG or at Sundance or something?
All of them :-)
(at least all of the big ones help push a film’s market)…
But the Oscars are still the ones most coveted imho. Indie Spirit Awards are also very much coveted by actors and filmmakers. GG’s not as much. SAGs and Dir’s Guild awards are beloved too because you think you’ve been approved by your peers. The British ones, the BAFTAs, have also become more and more sought after.

I got to go once , in its early years, as a guest of a friend, in Santa Monica. It was so fun and is probably crazier now
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I definitely think comedic performances are overlooked
as you know I loved Emma Stone in Easy A, thought it Oscar worthy but knew she’d be forgotten. But again, don’t know if there are enough other people or films overlooked in that category to argue for its permanent addition.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
See I don't know about that split category thing
or at least not how the Golden Globes does it. Though part of the problem with the GGs is that the voters are really lame.
“The Tourist” gets a comedy/musical nomination?!
Honestly, are there really enough comedies or musicals every year to fill up that category strongly? BUT I do think there’s some merit to the idea in general if you split it up some other way — like a sci-fi/action/comedy category. Though that sounds weird. I just don’t know if there’s a way, in films, to break it out where you could consistently fill up the new category well. I almost think the 10 nominees idea works better than this at least.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
it would also open things up for indies, this year
you could put:
Toy Story 3
How To Train Your Dragon
The Kids Are Alright
and er, some filler. Basically I’m just for The Kids Are Alright getting an Oscar, which it won’t since The Boring King’s Speech is going to walk away with best picture
But TS3 already has not just a Best Pic nom
but Animated Film. Dragon has the latter at least. Kids Are All Right could’ve had a better shot I guess. But hey that’s what Indie spirits are for ;-)
still don’t know if there’s enough consistency to create a 2nd genre category that you wouldn’t want to change 2 years later.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Also
There are comedies with really good stories that get nominations. Granted its more difficult for comedies, but for example Little Miss Sunshine and Sideways come to mind, and I believe both of those were prior to expanding best picture category.
I would disagree that Sideways was a “comedy” but that just illustrates the problem with overgenre-ization.

it has the potential to replace House when Laurie calls it a wrap after season 8 (as well he should, give it a MASH finale and go out on top) but I’m afraid Fox is placing its eggs in the Bones basket, which is a completely different type of show.
has he said
he’s done after season 8? (and what season is this?)

I just wanna know who they’ve got lined up to replace Carrell? It was pretty funny last week when they had Carrell run into Ricky Gervais, who was looking for work. Could it be Gervais? That would be something.
I like it
but I watched it on DVD, so I didn’t have $10+ invested in it.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Did you see King’s Speech?
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
It actually is, because the acting is top notch. If you can pretend to put yourself into that era and watch it unfold it is quite fascinating, not academy award fascinating but certainly a movie that deserves to be seen before one decides if it is boring or not.
"I don't see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes. "
A recent film like that
about a recent time was “The Queen.”
I really enjoyed that film because it examined a very famous period of time but from a point of view that no one could see it from.
I have not seen the King’s Speech but as someone who has seen several films about British royalty, I am sure I will get to it.
Great movie
And not at all like you’d think. These movie tastes conversations always boil down to the same thing: everyone has different tastes. I saw Toy Story 3 [with my class]. It was amusing and well-made, but I’d never say it was great. Not even close.

I’m willing to replace Up with Finding Nemo, though it really is a toss up between a father’s love for his son, and an old man learning he still has life left.
However, Monsters Inc is nothing without Boo, while Bug’s Life has many strong characters working for it.
an old man learning he still has life left.
No wonder… nah, not going to go there. What? You are saying I went there just by saying I wouldn’t go there? Oops.

That I understand, as much as I like movies like Fantastic Mr Fox I do think the Disney model has set the human race back. We really shouldn’t get that attached to soul-less objects, it clouds rational decision making.
And of course you must know I did not mean “idiot” in a derogatory sense.

It’s not the first time we’ve quarrelled. I’m over it. I respect you and the blog. For all I know, I AM an idiot.
Unlike the Fantastic Four
of which I enjoyed the John Byrne period of stories very much, “The Incredibles” powers were also tied into the character’s personality traits as much as mimicking 3 of the 4 powers (I guess a little kid should turn into fire so instead he becomes the Flash or Quicksilver.)

Cars should actually be 6, now that I look at it again. I may be in the minority here, but I thought Wall-E was ridiculously overrated. Dull, didactic and simplistic.
I could certainly consider Incredibles ahead of Cars. And I haven’t seen all of Up, but the first 20 minutes or so were very moving.
I enjoyed Wall-E when I saw it, but I do wonder how it holds up to a second viewing.
I barely remember Cars. I believe we were underwhelmed – partly because of the high expectations Pixar has caused me to have – but I don’t think we thought it was terrible.

I want to rebel against it because it’s getting all this Oscar hype but I really liked it> Acting was great and the story is irresistible. Even if, okay, a little predictable ultimately. I have some nits to pick with it (why is Guy Pierce playing his older brother?) and didn’t think the direction itself was as award worthy as some say but the film overall was a treat.

Early fantasy stuff
I’m already mock drafting for 2011 fantasy football. Just an FYI, the guys I’m targeting in all drafts:
LeGarrette Blount
Kenny Britt
Mike Williams (TB)
Owen Daniels
They should be available in the mid rounds; Daniels even later.
My #1 RB target is Jamaal Charles, #1 WR is Roddy White and #1 QB is Rodgers (although my preference is to wait until the later rounds to pick up a Big Ben, Flacco, Ryan, or Freeman). It’s a better idea to build depth, which is the key to winning a league title.

Speaking of those two
I always found this interesting
Sterling and Los Angeles Lakers majority owner Jerry Buss were indirectly responsible for each owning their respective NBA franchises. The first instance came in 1979, in which Buss used the money he made from selling a portion of his apartment buildings to Sterling (worth $2.7 million), which covered the remaining balance in purchasing the Lakers, the Kings hockey team, and the Los Angeles Forum from Jack Kent Cooke for $67 million. Two years later, Buss suggested to Sterling that he could purchase his own NBA franchise, and Sterling bought the struggling San Diego Clippers for $13.5 million.

My lady’s got a sort of strange fascination,
An obsessive fixation
For cheap decorations

I leave the office and I want to relax.
Don’t want to stare at a wall
And look at a duck that can’t quack.
I love you baby but I can’t fall
For those ducks on the wall.
I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.
Then out of the corner of my eye
I see those ducks in flight.
I love you baby but I can’t ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.
Wo-wo-wo I can sit through your gossip and your soap opera shows,
But those ducks have got to go.
I love you baby but I can’t ball
When I see those ducks on the wall.
And when I went to a cocktail party
With the bores next door,
What was the first thing that I saw?

little boys growing up need to be able to compartmentalize and know that when they say “I want to be like Big Ben” it means:
“I want to throw 500 passes a day because studies have shown that you need to do something like 10,000 times before you’re an expert at it”
and not
“I want to be a total dick to everyone I consider below me once I’m an expert at that thing”
