	RIP Harry! You will be missed! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/04/13/harry.kalas.ap/index.html WASHINGTON (AP) -- Longtime Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, who punctuated innumerable home runs with his "Outta Here!" call, died Monday after being found in the broadcast booth before a game against the Washington Nationals. He was 73. "We lost our voice today," team president David Montgomery said, his voice cracking. "He has loved our game and made just a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization." Kalas was found by the Phillies director of broadcasting at about 12:30 p.m. and taken to a local hospital, Montgomery said. Kalas had surgery earlier this year for an undisclosed ailment that the team characterized as minor. He looked somewhat drawn last week as the Phillies opened the season at home. Kalas joined the Phillies in 1971. Before that, he was an original member of the Houston Astros' broadcast team from 1965-70. He also did voiceover work for NFL Films and for commercials. In 2002, he received the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions to the game. Kalas joined the Phillies radio and TV broadcast team the year the club moved into their former home, Veterans Stadium, replacing fan favorite Bill Campbell. He wasn't immediately embraced by Phillies fans, despite being paired with Richie Ashburn, a Hall of Famer as a player, and longtime announcer. But Kalas evolved into a beloved sports figure in Philadelphia. He and Ashburn grew into a popular team, and shared the booth until Ashburn's death in 1997. Copyright 2009 Associated Press.

	Sadder news (for me) is how bad the Giants' smell is right now. Can they do any worse against those bums? Howry gives up bases to 6 of the 9 hitters he faces in the eighth and into the ninth. By the time Wilson gets on the mound (which is waaay too late, considering how long Bochy left Howry in), a loss was pretty much ensured. Way to go, SF. -----signature----- Tim Lincecum: 247 K, 1/8 of weed Cal Football: It's basketball season!!! :/ Jahvid Best: Get better soon! Cal Basketball: 2-0, #13 AP, Pac 10 favorites

	Yeah, let's look at Wang's first 3 starts. 3.2 IP, 7 ER 1.0 IP, 8 ER 1.1 IP, 8 ER Ouch. Even funnier, though, is his "projected season stats" line on ESPN.com... 41 starts (!?), 81 IP, 311 ER, 27 K, 0-41 record. I would say "nowhere to go but improve, but I probably would have said that after his first start... and again after his second, and his ERA has only gone up after each start. On the other hand, Atlanta has currently dropped 5 in a row. -----signature----- The Arena's Favorite Baseball Player Tournament - Come vote! http://boards.theforce.net/the_arena/b10777/29864047/p1/ I approve of NYCitygurl's sig

	Great series played by the Giants and the D-Backs: fantastic starting pitching, low offense, clutch scoring. It can't get much better than back-to-back-to-back 2-0 games (Giants took two in the series). Things are looking much better for SF's starting rotation after a shaky first week or so of the season. Sanchez performed well, Timmy dominated (but received a ND), and Randy Johnson threw his best start as a Giant today. These types of games need to define the Giants' season in order for them to win in the NL West. -----signature----- Tim Lincecum: 247 K, 1/8 of weed Cal Football: It's basketball season!!! :/ Jahvid Best: Get better soon!
