In the not-so breaking news department, Dick Stockton once again is showing his senile. This time, listen, as Grandpa Dick is not quite sure of what the final pitch of the game is.
"Ball Four! Strike Three!" - Dick Stockton
Too funny! There are plenty of reasons why I hate Stockton. For starters, he can't keep up with the game, despite being from the area, he always comes across as so anti-Philadelphia that it puts Fox's hard-on for Man-Ram to shame, and I'm pretty sure that as evidenced by this clip, the man is certifiably senile. Then again, the senile Stockton is great for blogs and the comedy that I can get out of him is truly priceless. Once we get the NFL season and we are (hopefully) doing live blogs every Sunday, on days that the Eagles have Stockton announcing, I'll try to point out for you the anti-Philly bias.

ReplyDeleteit's really funny,but to be fair to Dick, this is from last Saturday's O's-White Sox game. the O's had the bases loaded, 2 out, losing 4-1, in the top of the 8th. and the pitch was 6 inches outside,but called for strike 3. and DS left me wondering if he'd ever seen any of the current Orioles play. of course he wouldn't be the only one ;)
