Greatest thread.......

[DelTavian]

Someone made a post that the thread about the fieldhouse mess in Jasper is the greatest thread of the year or maybe the decade on CoachT....

 

Well I'd just like to remind you all that the greatest thread of all time on this entire site is "Stupid Announcer Tricks in McMinnville."

 

If you need proof of that just ask CoachT to bring it back up.

 

Yes I will brag on myself for that one. I became a legend with that thread.

Below is the original post by DelTavian about the announcers in McMinnville. I must agree. This started the best thread ever on coacht. Absolutely hilarious. It would have been fun to be at this softball game.

 

 

Someone please tell me where Boyd Christian School found the two loons in the back of that pickup with the PA equipment?

 

They did not shut up the entire game. The umps were totally out of line for not calming them down.

 

They talked while we were trying to pitch. They talked while we were trying to hit. And they were the most redundant announcers I've ever heard.

 

They tried to do a radio type broadcast over PA.

 

You don't do radio announcing for PA. You don't call the count and outs and score between every pitch. And the folks at Boyd can say they're just having fun all they want but it's just out of line. Our coaches couldn't call plays many times for their constant jabber.

 

Those guys need to get on the radio and off the PA. Then I can tune them out.

 

But rest assured, we'll be glad to return the favor next year.

 

2003 at Grundy while the Boyd pitcher is trying to hear herself think, you'll hear from the PA.....

 

"Now at the plate Susie Smith. On deck is Becky Jones. In the hole is April Meeks. Gone to the bathroom Mandy Stevens and Carrie Nunley is picking her nose in the corner of the dugout. There's one out, two balls, one strike and three bulbs out on the scoreboard. There's a wasp buzzing my head here in the pressbox. And for the love of God don't forget the concession stand. They've got Goobers, Moon Pies, Beef Jerky and Jolt Cola. We also have the phone numbers of several dentists posted in case you lose a filling on the goobers or rot a tooth with the Jolt Cola....Oh wait a minute, we've had a pitch...and I think she swung so the count is now two and two, there's one out and nobody's fixed those bulbs in the scoreboard. It's the bottom of the second, the score is now 3-2 but I'm not sure who's in the lead because I can't shut up. Come on Grundy we need those outs so we can have a win here on this lovely day...oh wait we're batting. Get a hit. We need some runs. Hey I think I'll play some music. What about it girls? Can we dance and shake it a little in the dugouts in between innings? I'm old and don't get excited over much any more but that will help me some. What song is it you wanna hear? (Crowd chants - Freebird! Freebird!) I heard it then. (Freebird begins to play.) Hey, you can't dance to that....wait....Have we had another pitch? Yeah we did. The count is now full. There's one out and is it still 3-2? Yup that's what I think the scoreboard says so that must be it. But I'm not sure because nobody fixed those bulbs in between pitches. Whew! My throat is getting dry. Can somebody get me a beer? Oh, wait. Did I say that out loud? Sorry moms, dads and all church going folks. With all this talking I just kinda got lost. Hey there's been another pitch and it looks like the girl struck out. Which one was she again? Hey have you been to the concession stand between pitches yet? I've just been informed they've got live bait you can take with when you go and head strait to the pond. That's where my boy and I'll be going as soon as we get done with this ballgame that's in the bottom of the second, with two away and the score is 3-2. Becky Jones is now up, April Meeks is on deck and someone please tell Carrie Nunley to wipe her hands cause she's in the hole and we don't want any of those boogers on the bat. Hey, there comes Mandy Stevens out of the bathroom. Mandy honey will you bring Carrie something to wipe her hands with? She's been digging in that big honker of hers again and we don't want none of that on the bats. Oh and you did remember to wash your hands right? Hey there goes another pitch and it was a ball.....yada, yada, yada, babble, babble, babble, on and on to infinity and beyond!!!"

That's wild!  That was back in the days when I wasn't even aware of CoachT.  Hilarious!

[kazam37]

Maybe not legendary.....but the boy certainly gives a good effort for Celebrity Status....!  Unbelievably, I swear I have been in a similiar situation down in Sarasota, Florida one year during Spring Training.  I would have thought the fans were gonna launch an attack on the pressbox at some point.

[orngnblk]

That was entertaining!

[kazam37]

One other thing....the announcer in Sarasota got lockjaw in the 6th inning....they wheeled him out of the stadium in a stretcher.  He got a standing ovation.....!
