Thursday's Things

(every Thursday at OOB -- just about -- I rant in list fashion)

Things George Blaha Says That I Love (And You Should, Too)



Some gems from the Pistons' play-by-play man, now in his 32nd year with the team:

1. "Feels it, fires it, FILLS it!"

2. "Oh! That one was halfway down!"

3. "In-and-out, and back in again!"

4. "Rip with a turn-and-gun -- he hits it!"

5. "Chauncey, for three ... it's through! Another big time shot, by Mr. BIG Shot!"

6. "Score it -- AND a foul!"

7. "Five-and-fifteen remaining..."

8. "We've got a good one going on at the Palace .. you're watching the PISTONS television network!"

9. "We've got a whistle and a Dick Bavetta foul..."

10. "Dice splits the pair..."

11. "Chauncey, between the circles...tosses it into Sheed down low... Rasheed kicks it out to Tayshaun ... shot clock winding down ... has to throw up a prayer ... HE HITS IT! Count that baby!"

12. "This is a great basketball game, folks..."

13. "Loose ball foul, and we'll keep it right here..."

14. "George Blaha here, along with SPECIAL K, Gregory Kelser...."

Don't worry, Jim Price is sticking to color this year. I really don't mind his work in that capacity.
