Harry The K, Easy Rider

Everybody loves Harry Kalas. He’s an excellent announcer, a great John Facenda replacement for NFL Films and even has a great movie trailer voice.

And I agree. Kalas is great, especially on baseball, and especially when he attempts to announce that Norris Hopper is coming up to bat.

That’s Wheels stumbling over his words after Kalas’ announces “Dennis Hopper,” presumably attempting to not say anything that will get him punched.

The Phillies just wrapped up a series with the Cincinnati Reds with a 5-3 victory to split the four-game set. Pat Burrell hit two homers, Brad Lidge got his first save and Tom Gordon’s fastball hit 94 miles per hour! The Fightins are now 3-4, and it’s still early, but — man! — are they ever infuriating already this season. Same as every year.

Update, 4:44 p.m.: Brad writes in with this note, “Harry said “Dennis Hopper” at least three times in his one inning on the radio. LA had nothing to say about it.” Get a TV in your office, man!
