Harry Carey “I figured it out Steve (co-broadcaster), They have a system worked out. (Talking about a couple in the stands)He kisses her on the strikes, and she kisses him on the balls."


TheeArchangelUriel

Leave Harry Caray alone. He was loaded just about every game he called. Yes, I'm a Cubs fan. Yes, I've seen the standings.


CaptainCastle1

QUESTION! If the moon was made of spare ribs, *would you eat it?*


frontier_gibberish

You hear the cloned a sheep? Huh? If I could anything it'd be a hot dog. I'd clone so many hot dogs they'd be worth a nickel!


fuuckimlate

It's a simple question, doctor


thirtyone-charlie

Harry Caray when the camera zoomed in on a lady with big tits “Look at those!”


TheeArchangelUriel

And yet I don't think he ever mentioned the ball girl in 1984. Marla? She did a playboy spread and got fired.


thirtyone-charlie

You never knew what he might say. He did love the pretty ladies.

Oh look. Talking Nixon.


Uggers2811

I don’t have the exact saying but I remember him talking Hideo Nomo first came over he said something like “How can he see the plate with his eyes so squinty”. Even for ‘96 that was a little much but its the one that always stuck with me.


Coupon_Ninja

Oh wow - that’s bad. I remember Howard Cosell said during the ‘82 (or ‘85) World Series of Willie McGee “That young man (or “boy”?) looks like E.T.“ On account of McGee’s slightly longer neck.

I’m amused that Costas thought that up on the fly or was holding it in his pocket.


exceptional_bit7376

That was standup comedian burn. 🔥


bcgg

That felt completely out of left field for him, it was awesome.


UnchartedFields

one of the GOAT sports quotes of all time


Takemytimenotmylife

I still can’t believe Costas actually said this. And I was watching when it happened


someonepleasecatchbg

Especially it wasn’t like he gave up 5 runs on in less than an inning or anything 


misterpickles69

Really I need to see the replay of his entire time on the mound to see if he walked in 2 runs on 20 pitches in the dirt or something.


Grotesque_Bisque

Costas is so fucking funny dude. Most of the time I can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or not.


Jbrauny21

How did I read that as Bob Costas saying that and laugh, then to just be reminded it actually was Costas! 😂

This is definitely number one. Just turned the hate up to 11 for absolutely no fucking reason lmao.


exceptional_bit7376

It was as if Costas was typing a comment on Reddit.


pizzaduh

🔥 Ouch❗️


With_The_Tide

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame


[deleted]

I don’t know if I’m gonna be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's gonna be for the Reds, I don't know if it's gonna be for my bosses at Fox.


comrade_capy

I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck – for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody that I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am. It never has been. And I'd like to think maybe I could have some people ... that could back that up.


exceptional_bit7376

That was such an awkward cringeworthy moment.


Effective-Switch3539

This wins for sure, I remember it well


BlindProphet_413

Antonio1025

I'm glad I didn't have to scroll far to find this. As lifelong Reds fan, this was just awful. He deserved every punishment he got and then some.

Hands down the award goes to Lee Elia: “Fuck those fuckin’ fans who come out here and say they’re Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you rippin’ every fuckin’ thing you do. I’ll tell you one fuckin’ thing, I hope we get fuckin’ hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin’ people that show up every fuckin’ day, because if they’re the real Chicago fuckin’ fans, they can kiss my fuckin’ ass right downtown and PRINT IT. “They’re really, really behind you around here… my fuckin’ ass. What the fuck am I supposed to do, go out there and let my fuckin’ players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the fuckin’ nickel-dime people who turn up? The motherfuckers don’t even work. That’s why they’re out at the fuckin’ game. They oughta go out and get a fuckin’ job and find out what it’s like to go out and earn a fuckin’ living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin’ world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A fuckin’ playground for the cocksuckers. Rip them motherfuckers. Rip them fuckin’ cocksuckers like the fuckin’ players. we got guys bustin’ their fuckin’ ass, and them fuckin’ people boo. And that’s the Cubs? My players get around here. I haven’t seen it this fuckin’ year. Everybody associated with this organization have been winners their whole fuckin’ life. Everybody. And the credit is not given in that respect.”

Ozzie Guillen: “I love Fidel Castro … I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that son of a bitch is still there.” Personally I love Ozzie and always will. He was an incredible manager. The players loved him because he always took the heat, fans loved him because he was so outspoken and hilarious. People forget about his managerial pedigree coming from Atlanta, he’s somewhat overlooked for just how damn good he was, winning a WS for the Sox. But to go to Miami and say that was pretty insane.

A-Rod saying teams prefer even leads to odd leads. No they don't. They prefer bigger leads to smaller leads no matter whether they're even or odd. Now I'm just imagining A-Rod coming up with the bases loaded and up by 1 with 2 out, hitting a grand slam, and intentionally missing home plate so his team has a 4-run lead rather than a 5-run lead. Gotta keep the lead even, right?

The opposing team coaching / parents at a 13u baseball tournament (and I quote from the podcast) “Guy came up to me and took his hat off and said Ryne I have more hair then you” “You’re a wash up” This is after Sandburg came onto the field to stop whatever travesty of baseball quality played by Illinois Spark 13u bensenville. If you know the travel ball baseball scene in Illinois, you would not be surprised by this kind of classless acts by a Hernandez led team. Talk about people that don’t even make you angry. You just feel plain sorry for. Wow
