that night, and how perhaps our sports most memorable World Series home run call was actually part of the greatest half-inning Antworten

ESPNs Buster Olney is on vacation this week, but hes still compiling roundups. View Thursdays roundup here.There are two guarantees every time the Los Angeles Dodgers win a home game. First, Randy Newmans I Love L.A. will blare throughout the stadium as our fans stand to cheer and we slap hands behind the pitchers mound in celebration of the victory. Simultaneously, my 6-year-old son, Luke, will begin his descent toward the home clubhouse. For us, securing the final out means another tally in the win column and one step closer to our postseason goals. But for Luke, a Dodger home win means only one thing: chocolate milk!After a home win last week, Luke walked into the clubhouse and, as usual, danced his way over to my locker as our post-win playlist boomed over the speakers. Instead of his beeline to the players lounge, he asked me a question.Dad, who is the man who talks about the Dodgers on TV?Do you mean Vin Scully? I replied.Yeah, Vin Scowee. I saw him on the elevator. He gave me a high-five and a hug. Hes a nice guy.With that, he was in search of his spoils of victory-- a new fan of the nice guy who talks about his dad and the Dodgers.Someday in the future, Luke will ask me about Vin. I could start by telling him about perhaps my first baseball memory -- that of a 7-year-old boy who got to stay up extra late to watch the first game of the 1988 World Series. How I can still remember Kirk Gibson slugging a 3-2 backdoor slider into the right-field pavilion. How I still remember the voice on the television telling me about the high fly ball into right field and how she is gone! But then I will tell him about how I was recently directed to watch the entire bottom of the ninth inning from that night, and how perhaps our sports most memorable World Series home run call was actually part of the greatest half-inning ever called.I will tell him about joining the Dodgers and how nearly all of my nights ended with me on the MLB app, listening to the highlights of our game, and the chills I got as I heard Vin utter my name describing an RBI single or throwing out a would-be base stealer or how he got me trending on Twitter. Luke will ask, Whats Twitter? (as there is sure to be some new hip social-media device his dad will be too old to understand).I will tell Luke about the man of faith Vin is. How I could count on him to be in our clubhouse every Sunday morning making a cup of coffee as he was on his way to Mass. About how I secretly hoped he was a few minutes early so we could sit and talk in our players lounge about anything.I will tell him about how I built up enough courage over time to ask him a sarcastic question. I asked him which perfect game was his favorite to call. Was it Don Larsens, Sandy Koufaxs or Billy Chapels? He chuckled as only Vin can chuckle and dove into a story about sitting in a studio and doing play-by-play for the movie For Love of the Game while watching the film on the screen.I will definitely tell my son about being part of a nearly perfect game myself. How I was behind the plate as Clayton Kershaw threw a no-hitter and struck out 15 Colorado Rockies in June 2014. I will show him the game but also show him the link I ran across and watch regularly of Vin calling all 27 outs in the game. Hopefully he will see the way Vin allows the tension and drama to build. The way he allows the game, and especially the conclusion, to play out through the buzz of the stadium and the work of the cameras: 0 and 2 ... got him! Hes done it! Thats the way Vin described the final pitch of the dominant performance. And then, 30 seconds of silence as he allowed the pictures and crowd to tell the story.Mostly, and very regularly, I will tell Luke how special it was to be part of the Dodger organization. How the organization that gave us Jackie, Newk and Campy, Sandy and Clayton, had allowed me to wear its uniform. And while wearing that uniform, competing in front of baseballs best fans in baseballs most beautiful ballpark, I was humbled and honored to know that Vin Scully was sitting right above home plate, painting the picture of our great game and, at times, even using me as the paint for his brushstrokes.This past Sunday I spent about 10 minutes with Vin up in his booth. I had to wait for a few moments as he was finishing up meeting with Gerrit Cole of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who made the five-floor journey up to the press box to spend time with Vin in his 67th and final season as the Dodgers broadcaster. Cole joined a long list of visiting players, including Bryce Harper and David Ortiz, who wanted to say goodbye to the greatest sports broadcaster, let alone baseball broadcaster, of all time.We posed for a picture with the perfectly manicured playing surface in the background. We chatted about family and home. I told him about my children, and he proudly told me about his 11-year-old grandson who is a young catcher. I thanked him for his time and made sure to let him know this wasnt goodbye and that I would see him around the ballpark. With that, it was time to go. We both had a ballgame to prepare for. We shook hands and hugged, just like my son had a few days before. Air Max 720 Saturn Australia . PETERSBURG, Fla. Nike Air Max Fury Australia . 9.

Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. ENDICOTT, N.Y. -- John Riegger wasnt sure hed be able to play the second round of the Dicks Sporting Goods Open because of a lingering case of shingles. The pain subsided long enough for him to show his first round wasnt a fluke.Riegger followed his opening 66 with a 5-under 67 Saturday and is tied with Paul Goydos (66) for the lead at 11-under 133.Its kind of gone away, but the pain is still there and its just an aftereffect of the attacks of the nerves, Riegger said after his second straight bogey-free round. I think its just the fact that Ive gotten used to it and dealing with it a little bit better. I know that nothings going to happen to me.First-round leader Scott Dunlap (70) was third at 10 under. Wes Short Jr. and Monday qualifier Neal Lancaster also shot 66 and shared fourth, another shot back at En-Joie Golf Club.John Daly and Stephen Ames shot 68 and were tied for sixth at 8 under with Bart Bryant (70), who is trying to become the first repeat winner of this Champions Tour event since its inception in 2007.Riegger thrived on the four par-5s on the narrow, tree-lined course. On Saturday, he birdied two of the three on the front side and eagled No. 12, the final par 5.This will be the first time Riegger has had the lead, or a share of it, entering the final round of a Champions Tour event.Im just trying to hope that I wake up tomorrow and I feel all right and I can play, he said.Goydos had four birdies and two bogeys on the front nine. But after another bogey on the back side he finished with a flourish -- birdie at the tough par-4 15th hole thats guarded by an imposing water hazardd, eagle at the par-4 16th hole, and birdie at No.dddddddddddd 17.You go from 7 under to 11 under, Im still stunned a little bit myself, said Goydos, who drove the green at 16 to set up the lone eagle at the hole over two rounds. If you had strokes gained with lucky bounces, I would be leading that right now by a large margin.Daly, who turned 50 in April, is making his seventh Champions Tour start. Its his first appearance at En-Joie since the 1995 B.C. Open on the PGA Tour. He won there in 1992 and the gallery hasnt forgotten.It helps, and it always helps when youre playing good, you feed off of it, Daly said. A lot of times when things arent going good, the fans kind of pump me up to keep hanging in there.Daly had five birdies and a bogey on the front nine and two birdies and two bogeys on the back.I just remember that when I did win here, I felt comfortable off the tees, although its not showing this week, he said. I feel like I can hit the fairways, but Im just not executing a lot of them.Short started strong, notching four birdies and an eagle over the first 11 holes before a three-putt par at No. 12. The 52-year-old Texan finished with seven straight pars.Anytime you can be close going into the last nine holes, thats what you really want -- to have a chance to win it, he said.Jeff Maggert won this tournament last year, beating Goydos by two shots. Nobody will have to worry about Maggert this time. The defending champion was at 1 under and out of contention. ' ' '
