Longtime Atlanta Braves fans like me will be saddened to hear of the death of Skip Carey at age 68. His was not the most pleasant voice on the air, but there was no escaping that foghorn delivery even in the noisiest environment, & when he expressed his opinions, you knew it wasn't just parroting the Company Line (he once joked that he didn't read the TBS memos, he threw them away figuring there would be a pink slip inside someday.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

RIP Skip Carey!

He will now be calling games at 'The Field of Dreams' his dad.

R.I.P. Skip "Braves win, Braves win"

R.I.P. Skip, you called one hell of a ballgame sir.

An optimist looks at the glass and says it's half full. A pessimist looks at the glass and says it's half empty. A Cubs fan looks at the glass and says, "When's it gonna spill?"

He didn't quite have the fire in his belly last time I heard him either. He had lost a lot of weight last year trying to manage his diabetes, & looked a little rough. During the off-season he lasped into a coma for a few days, & when he awoke w/his whole family standing around he said, "Where the hell am I, & what the hell are all you people doing here?!"

Classic Skip. RIP Harry Carey Jr.
