The Giants buckled down for a pivotal, 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, just one night after a ninth-inning meltdown in a 2-1 loss seemed to send the San Francisco into a freefall. “I went by a Chinese laundry and in the window was the line score of the World Series game, that would be October 2nd, 1936, and the Yankees beat up the Giants 18-4”, he told reporters this week.

“As far as emotions are concerned, I think I’ve got them in check, but you never know”.
“As a little boy, my first reaction was, ‘Oh, the poor Giants.’ So that’s when I fell in love with baseball and became a true fan. I think I’ll be OK”. “I’m going to sit back, light up and hope I don’t chew the cigarette to pieces”, Scully said of the 1956 World Series, during Don Larsen’s ideal game. I keep saying it because I mean it so much. “That’s on me. I take 100 percent responsibility”. That marked the largest regular-season crowd in the majors since August 30, 2012 – which was also at Dodger Stadium, and also a Scully bobblehead giveaway.
The win put Maeda within two of the Dodgers rookie record set by Rick Sutcliffe in 1979, as he has really come into his own toward the end of the season. Scully’s iconic voice, smooth storytelling and simple play-by-play made Dodgers fans fall in love and the television blackout only helped his radio ratings. On the front is an image of Scully with his signature greeting of “It’s time for Dodger baseball”. After 67 seasons with the organization, Scully will retire from the booth after the 2016 season.
September 19 marked the beginning of Scully’s last Dodgers-Giants broadcast at Dodger Stadium.
By The Associated Press The last go-round for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully begins on Monday night. 2 at San Francisco.
It will be hard for the Giants to rip off the streak they need without Cueto, who had pledged to treat each of his remaining starts like a playoff game. Many locals were inexperienced when it came to plays and how to interpret what was going on on the field, especially when the Dodgers initially played at the the Los Angeles Coliseum, holding exactly 37,607 more people than Dodger Stadium, which opened in 1962. I do (like that they had fun).
“So to me, we’ll tie the ribbon on the package in San Francisco and that’ll be that”. The uncertainty of the postseason left him anxious to avoid a “goodbye like they do in grand opera, where they say goodbye 25 times in 15 minutes”.

ESPN takes a lot of justifiable flak from conservatives for that network’s constant flogging of progressive politics on the air, often to the annoyance of its viewers who just want to watch the ball game. “I know that dramatically”. I look forward to continuing that.
