Around SBN: NFL Owners Vote to Change Trade Deadline

¡Santa Maria! Matt Vasgersian is leaving the Padres

DougOLis points out in the comments that Matt Vasgersian won't be calling Padres games any more. Le sigh.

Matt Vasgersian is leaving for another job – the specifics of which won't be announced for another day or two – leaving Channel 4 San Diego searching for a partner to work alongside Mark Grant.

This is a bummer. I guess it's somewhat comforting that Steve Quis turned a little bit of a corner this year and started sounding more comfortable in the booth. Let's start thinking of a replacement. My vote: Joe Morgan. I heard he's gonna be looking for a job soon and the ridiculousness of him and Mudcat in the same booth is too good to pass up.

They can't possibly give the full time position to Quis

I’ll bet Sandy Alderson takes over himself.

Ron Rivera. Change we can believe in. YES WE CAN!

That video seems so much like the When The Angels Sing video.

I bet he's going to the A's

This might hurt more than losing Peavy. Peavy only goes every 5th day. How do we get through boring Padres games without Matty V?

My sentiments exactly.

But I do hope he got an NL job, though- if so, I’m definitely watching the road feed those series(es?).

Matty got called up

He’s definitely going national in some way. After that Olympics hoo-ha this summer I knew he was on his way out of Ch4. I hope it’s not to some right wing crapfest. Keep it clean, Matty!

I think Boyz II Men’s “So Hard to Say Goodbye” would have been a more appropriate video. I’m so sad. I don’t have the heart to tell my sister. She’ll be crushed.

Bone thugz

“Crossroads” would be a better choice.

“and i’m gonna miss every body, gonna miss everybody”

I’m emotionaly detached. Jake, matty v, turncoats. every one of the bums. I rooted for us even though we lost 99 games. What do they do? jump ship.

cue me and fievel singing “somewhere out there”. I’m singing to you matty v. Can you hear me?

Bring back Balboa Stadium.

fievel?
Saw that movie at Edwards Mira Mesa 4. Still remember that song. Now every time I watch it I'll get at whimsical about matty v.

Why matty? why?

Bring back Balboa Stadium.

It won't be the same without Matty V.

But what about Josh Lewin to replace him? San Diego connection, baseball experience…he’s not nearly as fun as Matt and Mud, but it could work.

As long as it’s not Leitner I’ll be thrilled.

Lewin would be my choice...

….but what is his contract staus with the Rangers?

by Grey Suit on Nov 4, 2008 7:15 AM PST up reply actions  

I can't stand Lewin.

He’s been getting on my nerves since I was a little kid listening to Red Wings games on the radio for a week or so every summer. Then we’d get home and I’d get to listen to Matty’s Huntington Cubs.

The off-season continues to get better

This sucks. I blame Bud Black.

If Quis goes full-time, at least I know I won’t be blowing two hundred bucks on MLB.TV this yr. No way I will pay to listen to him on a nightly basis.

Second to losing Peavy or A-Gon, this is the worst news possible

This is terrible. Vasgersian and Mudcat, for all of the inanities and silly things and stupid things that Mudcat says every now and then, create an atmosphere surrounding the game that I just totally find comforting. Matty V is probably my current favorite sportscaster, so this is a god damned travesty.

And, before he leaves, can we all salute him for coming out and being so honest about what a disaster it’ll be when Peavy leaves this team? I give him a lot of credit for that too.

Sad, sad day =(

He was starting to grow on me.

Speculation

MattyV could be the voice of the new MLB network.

Also, this applies:

Please don’t let him be replaced by Steve Quis….

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

The MLB Network wiki

lists him as going to the MLB network next year. They don’t name their source though.

I'll tell you right now the perfect choice to replace Matty V....

….former ESPNer Gary Miller. He lives in So Cal…loves baseball and San Diego. PERFECT choice.

That is AWESOME.
Two undercover officers were sprayed with urine

That does it; search over. Bonus points for the drug paraphernalia.

You two are bastards.

Come on….we’ve all done that.

I’m telling you…..Miller would be PERFECT for that gig.

Um, I think we're all arguing the same point.

I’m dead serious; I cannot emphasize how much I endorse urinating on police.

Also, I too, was once charged by Ohio police for both possesion and paraphernalia. The posession charge was for a roach; the paraphernalia charge was for the half-inch of burnt paper encompassing it. Yep; less than a dollar’s worth of what-have-you added up to over $600. Don’t do drugs, kids.
