Matt Vasgersian is an idiot. Warning: salty language

Still not as good as the nasty shit, but lulz-worthy just the same.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

As if I didn’t have to deal with with Vasgersian enough in The Show!

He’s not the worst part. Dave Campbell and Rex Hudler make me want to throw the PS3 out of a window.

I don’t mind the Show’s announcing, but video game announcing is just hard to get right. The 2K series made Jon Miller sound terrible because he was so repetitive. Every other hit was dubbed by virtual Miller as a LINED SHOT and I couldn’t stand it!

Yeah, I hated how if I got a bloop single 2 feet in front of the RF, it suddenly became a LINED SHOT into the gap when the announcers talked about it.

by Viliphied on Mar 5, 2009 9:54 AM PST up reply actions

The worst part is a lot of the stupid phrases that Rex said last year are back for this year’s game. Like:

“Time to choke up to the label! Anything to avoid another punch-out!”

Or:

“I’ve seen guys more aggressive clipping their hedges! Swing the bat!”

When I played The Show ‘06, the game would show my strikes and ball count and Hudler would say something to the affect of "He’s been around the zone a lot tonight, if he continues to do that the hitter will lock in". Well, it ain’t my fault if the hitter swings at bad pitches.

by SFGuy on Mar 5, 2009 4:49 PM PST up reply actions

If I miss the first two pitches of the game

while playing my 08’, Hudler says “His pitches have been off all night! This isn’t the [pitcher’s name] we’re used to seeing.”

I appreciate the courtesy – when playing this at work, it would be nice to know when a giant, audible f-bomb is about to drop.

Mostly when talking about either Manny or Siracha Sauce.

I'm spent, just can't rosterbate anymore.

What’s the difference between Manny and Sriracha Sauce?

One’s a prick and the other is made out of prik.

why would they be discussing Fernando Vina?
