"The Kings of Squat!" - Jimmy D
« on: August 03, 2006, 03:09:15 pm »
Out-freaking-standing!  If you missed the genius remark by Jimmy D. last night, you missed a highlight of the game.  The Astros broadcast put up pictures of the major league players with the most time logged as catchers in the majors.

Amongst them wer Piazza and Ausmus of course.  Brownie introduces the names and highlights both Piazza and Ausmus.  While he's doing that, Jimmy D mutters "that's a lot of squatting right there!".  Brownie chuckles and then Jimmy D. drops the instant classic:

"The Kings of Squat!"

I fell off the couch laughing!  It is so genius in so many levels... Jimmy D., a tip of the cap your way!  Absolute genius I tells ya!

I also enjoyed his other self-title after predicting the the Tiggers Jim Leyland might just win AL Coach of the year. Paraphrased, and mentioned in another TZ post earlier.

Brownie: "You're really going out on a limb there, JD."

JD "I am the Master of the Obvious."

Yup, that was great! Only way to top it would have been "Sultans of Squat"

JD and BB are the best in the business.  It really is a rude awakening to go from the TV crew to the radio guys.  Although Raymond's voice sounds sort of like JD's, he doesn't have his effortless wit.

I love listening to JD. It sucks when they go on the road and I have to listen to the idiots from other teams (I watch games on mlb.tv because of where I live, obviously)

Alright, some are okay. Others (yes, White Sox, I'm looking at you!) are downright abysmal.

ETA: Except for today! Sweet, a road game w/ Brownie and JD!

The "Put 'em on the boaaaarddd....YES!" is the single worst home run call ever conceived by a human mind.

Aint that the truth!  It is brutal going from watching TV, then going to run to the store and listening to the Radio.   It is like going from Caddyshack to Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

It's actually topped by The Hawk's strikeout call, a weird understated staccato "he gone" which sounds more like "hee-gaw." It kills me every time. The "you can put it on the board" amuses me, and is thankfully infrequent. The "he gone" is nails on a chalkboard.

I really do wish the ESPN Deportes guys had a chance to call more games in lieu of Joe Morgan and John Miller, et al.  They are top-tier.  "Profundo!  No-no-no-no!"

I'd take silence with the occasional sound of a bullfrog croaking in lieu of Morgan and Miller.
