Vin Scully. A funny man. Part 2.

Last night I witnessed Vin Scully's second great funny of the season. (Not counting the time he said "boner" on the air.) The Mets had just lost a game in which they committed five errors, the last of which gave the Dodgers the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning. In the top of the 11th, the Mets had the go ahead run taken off the board when their baserunner failed to touch third base as he came around to score. I think that was the first time I've ever seen an appeal at third base result in an out.

Anyways... Mr. Scully usually ends each broadcast with a cheerful "Goodnight everybody!" But last night, having witnessed such a sloppy game, with perfect comic timing and mock disgust in his voice, he said, "GooooodNIGHT everybody."
