G: It started out as a great pitchers' duel between Smoltz and Glavine, but it's become a rollicking affair, six to six. Mr. Met should... get out on the mound, good arm!
K: A rollicking affair? I like that word.
G: Former met Tyler Yates takes over the pitching. You used to like to rolic.
K: Of course! My favorite pastime! Especially after midnight.

On Television
G: Well, thousands auditioned, three are left, and this Tuesday one will become the next Pussycat Doll. Don't miss the season finale at CW's smash hit Pussycat Dolls: The Search for the Next Doll. Tuesday at 9 right here on the CW11.
K: What did you say?
G: I have no idea what I said!
K: You better watch it.
G: I know if you're the next American Idol you get a recording contract; what do you get if you're the next Pussycat Doll?
K: You said it again!
G: Do I want to know? Alou fouls it back.
K: Anthony, get Gary some coffee, would you please? He needs to wake up a little bit.
G: Think we can get that show on SNY?

On Architecture
G: And of course in this particular bullpen [at Citizens Bank Park], you sit down there with the fans raining abuse on you from up above. There's where they sit, and there are fans right above them.
K: Well they're under cover right there. They're in the Führer-bunker.

On Honesty
G: The Nationals beat the Marlins their third game of the season on a game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th by Dmitri Young. That is the only time they have lead a game this season.
K: Well... (G: Changeup misses, 2-2.) Can we say that they stink?
G: You can say they stink. Well let's put it this way, they are... challenged.

On Money (Part Two)
Video of the Brooklyn Bridge shot from a moving boat, while Gary recites the broadcast sponsors.
K: Was that a live shot of the city? Do we have a boat out there? SNY, they really spent some money this year!
G: That's the "SS SNY".
K: Last year we couldn't buy a shot!

On Sunglasses
G: Rollins batting right-handed for the first time today. And he's ditched the shades! Now wait a second -- it's still sunny out there, he had the reflector glasses on his first four at-bats, and now he's gone shadeless.
R: It's like sponsors, you only have to have them on for seven innings, Jimmy Rollins. After that he can do whatever he wants.
G: Like a NASCAR driver, right?
R: That's right.
K: Or like in Lawrence of Arabia when they cross the desert and they said "the sun's off the anvil", which is directly overhead. So it's more of a angle in.
G: You floor me, with your references. 1-2 to Rollins.
K: You remember when cross the desert to the Aqaba, when they attack the Sicilian Aqaba, and they went across the desert. And Omar Sharif said "We have to point X before the sun hits the anvil." I'll never forget that line.
G: Wow. Well that certainly explains why Jimmy's not wearing the sunglasses.
K: I like that. "Sun's off the anvil!"

K: We got an nice heater up here, that's all that counts, right in our feet.
R: Yes.
G: Me, me, me.

On Gender
K: I love that "pocket schedule" graphic.
R: You love it because it has the color! It's just like a...
G: Scorecard!
K: It gives you the scores behind, and what's up ahead, I love it.
G: It doesn't have the pink, like Keith does on his scorecard.
K: Well...
G: It takes a real man to use a pink highlighter.
R: He's certainly in touch with his feminine side, absolutely.
K: ......No comment.
G: Good job! That's outstanding work on your part.

On Age Acceptance
G: Reads a promo for "Kids Clubhouse".
K: Who me?
G: Yeah you!
K: Really? At 53?
G: You know we were talking about Greg Picker, 43rd birthday tomorrow, you're already on the AARP rolls, right? 53.
K: Yeah but I didn't join.
G: That's okay, you're not a joiner, I know, but...
K: They keep sending me in the mail all the time, I don't send it back.
G: That's cause you're still a kid. One and one to Beltran.
K: Peter Pan!
G: That's good, I like that! I don't know how you'd look in green tights, but...
R: Keith's like Groucho Marx, he doesn't want to belong to any group that wants him in it.
K: What did Alou do his last at-bat?
G & R: He walked.
K: Okay, I missed that one.

On Company Loyalty
G: So, Ronnie, I heard there was a possibility you might be heading to Augusta tomorrow.
R: I can go. I'm probably going to go. We have the day off because, uh......
G: Fox.
R: Fox TV?
G: You can say it, you can say it.
R: I never know if I can say it. Fox TV is doing the game tomorrow.

On Weight
R: Chad Paronto by the way, when they introduced the Braves today, he looked like the coach with the little leaguers, he is SO BIG!
G: They've got some beef (R: Wow!) in that bullpen with him and Wickman. I mean he... Wickman's a... you know... fairly...... wide-bodied fellow himself.
R: Ample.
G: Yes. Good word.
