Edwards: Loved the international flavor on that potent Mets lineup of a few years ago.
Harkes: Definitely, Cahr-loz Bayl-trahn, Carh-loz Ndeyl-gah-do, Hozay Hray-esz, Lou-iz Castiyo, muy excelente jugadores Latinos.
Edwards: Ah, what he said. Anyway, back to this game, with David Ortiz at the plate and the count down to 3 and 0.
Harkes: Dah-vid or-TEEZ...miedo en la caja de los bateadores.
Edwards: And he'll take his hall pass and head on over to first base, where he is certainly no threat to steal, but Boston will take the baserunner for sure at this point. Crawford is up next.
Harkes: Aw, yeah, Caaarl Craawford...the pride of Houston, Texas. They say ev'rythang's bigger in Texas, but that just ain't true with this guy. But I tell ya what, he's fast as a steer that been improperly secured durin' brandin'.
Edwards: They have a lot of steers in New Jersey?
Harkes: ...

Way Back There
Edwards: and here's the pitch.....(crack) LONG FLY BALL, CENTER FIELD, IT"S HEADING INTO ORBIT. BANG ZOOM STRAIGHT TO THE MOON.
Harkes: Utley sure did hit that ball hard, but I don't think it will reach the 11.2 km/s needed to achieve escape velocity.
Edwars: Bonerrific!

Between Innings
Edwards: Got to be honest, for my money no one's better than the San Diego Chicken.
Harkes: Can't agree more you've got to be impressed with the guy in the suit I mean he's been in there for like 40 years.
Edwards: You know they've had more than one guy in the suit.
Harkes: Pfffft. Right and I didn't win the World Cup
Edwards: You didn't
Harkes: Then where did I get this medal?
Edwards: Is that a quarter painted gold?
Harkes: NO!

The Giants Win The Pennant!
Edwards: And the Dodgers bring Branca in from the bullpen; that's a bold move there HA. Thomson at the plate, Mays on deck...
Harkes: Willie Mays, you know, he has really great vision out there. He could be good for a long time. What a commanding presence on the pitch, as well. He really does well to organize the back line.
Edwards: First pitch right down the river for a strike.
Harkes: You know, I had a friend back in college who was buddies with Mays' Little League coach. He just raved on and on about the way he makes his runs. He is a creative player, for sure (CROWD CHEERS).
Edwards: Ohh---
Harkes (continuing): Ohh my he got a hold of that one. Anyway, Mays certainly appears to have future captain material, displaying all of the intangibles. He may even have a future as a manager in this league, with the leadership he displays. He's really going to be something special, Jack. Meanwhile, it looks like the Giants have won the game. This is really going to propel Mays...watch for him to have a breakout season next year.
Edwards (disgusted): Well, the Giants have won...on a Bobby Thomson home run. And they will go on to the World Series.
Harkes: Yeah, Branca was thinking about dealing with Mays and perhaps not focusing much on the task at hand. He was unlucky there.

What's another word for "fast?"
Edwards: Runner goes, he's got a great jump, and, in without a throw.
Harkes: What fantastic pace there! He's really showing great form right now with pace like that.
Edwards: Pace like picante sauce, although he's not awarded a stolen base due to fielder's indifference.
Harkes: I'm indifferent to that call, really, with pace like that a stolen base is deserved. He's one of the paciest players in the world, and he definitely should have been give a stolen base there. Really it's something FIFA, er, the MLB needs to take a look at for future matches...the awarding of a stolen base to a player who demonstrates pace like that. It's almost an outrage, and they should do better.
Edwards: And now just to catch everyone up, the pickoff attempt at second was successful for the second out of the inning, and the batter has struck out on three straight pitches. End of the 1st, it's zip-zip here in Houston.

7th Inning Stretch
Edwards: ... and here to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Cub Scout Troop # 447
Harkes: You Know when the guy who wrote this song wrote it he had never seen a baseball game
Edwards: Really. That be like writing a recipe for tacos without ever seeing them
Harkes: We could always ask Rod Barajas

Benches Clear
Harkes: It really seems like these two teams don't like each other very much.
Edwards: Well said, John. Here's the pitch from Clemens, and-WHOA it's up and in on Manny, and words are being exchanged! The benches clear and it's the Revolutionary War all over again!
Harkes: Wow this is really cra-
Edwards(cutting in): The players are battling like Saratoga! It looks like Zimmer is approaching Pedro and...WOW, he twists him to the ground like a Makita drill! Take that one to Home Depot, old man!
