Look up my quotes from the 2007 Playoffs when Caray was doing the Indians-Yankees series and aurally jerking off Cleveland all series.

"AND HERE COME THE YANKEES!"

He was brutal then; even worse today.

Makes sense because they were sucking Dick Pole all year.

How come no one has said the perfect set up Headline?

"The Reds give Dick Pole the Shaft"

Omg The Motetrodome Has A White Rooff!!1!

I thought it was sortof a cream color? Maybe eggshell?

Ron Darling talking >>>>>>>> Chip Caray talking

I'll take both of them over Ron Santo or Hawk Harrelson. ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

I just realized the Twins are really the only likeable team for me in the playoffs (the Tigers would've been, too). Everyone else I'm just rooting for because I dislike their opponent more. The Dodgers-Cardinals series is a really tough one to pick which one I like less.

Don't worry. 4 games from now, there will be no likeable teams in the playoffs.

I'm shooting for the Rockies just because.

Whichever way the wind blows. He'll be hanging out in a restroom with Gardenhire if the Twins win a few games.

holy cow is Ron Darling annoying. Shut the **** up already! You don't need to fill every spare second.

He's done nothing of note since Shallow Hal.

Matt Stairs is so slow that the Phillies used a pitcher to pinch run for him.

Wait, no, Matt Stairs is so slow that the Phillies used a white pitcher to pinch run for him.

Wait, no, Matt Stairs is so slow that the Phillies used a white pitcher who's been on base a grand total of ten times in his major league career to pinch run for him.

Matt Stairs just got to the dugout.

Good to see a lot of kids in Philadelphia & LA are skipping school to see daytime playoff baseball. There is hope.

AP reports that we will all be able to adore Ken Griffey Jr. for another year with Seattle. There are few athletes I've enjoyed watching more.

Cuza said Martinez was suffering from the flu in Game 6 of the World Series, in which the right-hander allowed four runs, all earned, in just four innings against the New York Yankees, who clinched the Series title in that game.

"I think he lost 13 pounds," Cuza said, according to FoxSports.com. "When I saw him in Miami last week, he was still battling it. He said, 'I don't know what hit me.' I don't know how he took the mound that night. I didn't realize how sick he was."

He's dying of incurable bile duct cancer. He's got months, if not weeks to live.
