Did Kruk just say that Harry Kalas passed away while behind the mic during a game? That can’t be right can it?

It was before the game.

by Hobbes2d on Jul 29, 2009 2:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

It was pre-game in the booth

No Kalas died before callling a game.

It was during prep for the game…It was in the announcers booth though

by DFAAurillia on Jul 29, 2009 2:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Directly before the game, I believe.

I heard they found him in the broadcast booth. As morbid as it is, I’d rather go out that way.

So, Giants get Garko and Sanchez and then score 2 runs in 4 games vs the Phils – then what?

I am shuddering at the thought of the Giants trying to hit against Moyer.

Do not meddle in the affairs of GM's, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Odd on Moyer ever throwing a pitch in the strike zone?

Has someone ever done this and won?

Still the loving, adoptive father of Hector Sanchez. And who doesn't love switch-hitting catchers with power and patience?

the thought of the Giants hitting against ANY pitcher makes me shudder. ESPECIALLY one that requires patience, like Moyer
