PrintThe Dodgers received the best news possible during Friday's game with Colorado. Vin Scully is coming back in 2012, for his 63rd season!
From the press release:
"I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, you and I have been friends for a long time," Scully told the audience on PRIME TICKET. "But after a lot of soul searching and a few prayers, we’ve decided that we will come back with the Dodgers for next year. God’s been awfully good to me, allowing me to do the things I love to do. I asked him one more year at least and he said okay."

Funny
I was watching the game for the first 3 innings at The Counter, the game was on mute but had the close captioning at the bottom
Mrs HJ asked me why I was clearly reading while we were at dinner together – I told her “sorry, but I can hear Vin when I read those words, I know just what he sounds like”
it is love, true and true

I went to a funeral this morning, father of an uncle by marriage. So I’m a bit over emotional and unstable. But you’re right. I love Vin Scully.

I hope this news makes you feel at least a little better

In college, I had a roommate Naomi whose adopted mom of sorts was 2 hours away in Sacramento, and she used to send us cookies in the mail. Sometimes I was a selfish bitch and ate them all, but more people should send cookies in the mail. It was the greatest thing ever.

But I am going to try and go another 3 weeks without pizza and soda (I’ve been drinking water every time I’ve been thirsty except if I’ve had some alcoholic to drink every so often) and see the results

I’m so sick of seeing jamey carroll up there with anyone on. I’ve never seen someone so inept at getting a runner home.

Not even
It’s not like he was yelling things over at Rogers. He didn’t hit the ball out of anyone’s glove. He does what a lot of fast people do and for some reason it caught Rogers off guard.
Also, LONEY!

climb into his skin and walk around in it.
the umpire was pointing to his leg, telling Tracy the reason, saying don’t come out here, he stepped towards home
didn't see how many times he did that until the replay lol
he did it like a dozen times
