"We're all day to day, Dick." - Bert Blyleven

One of the rare moments that Bert was profound.

If I had not heard it, I would not believe he said it.

1. I think Keith Olbermann used it on TV first.

Back when he was on SportsCenter, he would say "So and So is listed as day-to-day, but then aren't we all?".

5. A regular 12 to 6!

:P

6. I can't get used to that

Hammer, yellow hammer, motherfucker, roundhouse.

"12 to 6" has no panache.



Joe. Joe Morgan. May I have a word with you?

Sure, Norm, how's it going?

Fine, Joe, fine. We wanted to ask you about that pitch you missed. What was it?

Norm, that was a motherfucking curve.

Can you tell our listeners, Joe, what's the difference between a regular curve and a motherfucking curve?

Well, Norm, your regular curve ball has a lot of spin on it and you can recognize it real early. It breaks down a little bit, and out. Now, your motherfucker, that's different. It comes in harder, looks like a fast ball. Then, all of a sudden, it rolls off the top of the table and before you know it, it's motherfucking strike three.

Thank you very much, Joe Morgan.
