Padres' Jerry Coleman collection

Now that Jerry Coleman has left the broadcasting booth to manage the San Diego Padres, we're going to miss his wonderful malapropisms, which by themselves have rejuvenated radio in San Diego. Let's take a leak at Some of the better Colemanisms:

"Whenever you get an inflamed tendon, you've got problems. Okay, here's the next pitch to Gene Tendon."

"We're all sad to see Glen Beckert leave. I hope he stops by so we can kiss him good-bye; he's that kind of a guy."

"Pete Rose has 3000 hits this year and 3014 overall." "Hector Torres, how can you communicate with Enzo [Hernandez] when he speaks Spanish and you speak Mexican?"

"Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey should know each other like a book. They've been ex-teammates for years now." "On the mound is Randy Jones, the left-hander with the Karl Marx hairdo."

"Bob Davis is wearing his hair differently this year, short with curls like Randy wears. I think you call it a Frisbee."

"There's a hard shot to LeMaster — and he throws Madlock into the dugout."

"Rich Folkers is throwing up in the bullpen."

"Larry Lintz steals second standing up. He slid, but he didn't have to."

"Johnny Grubb slides into second with a stand-up double."

"Over the course of a season, a miscue will cost you more games than a good play."

"And Kansas City is at Chicago tonight, or is that Chicago at Kansas City? Well, no matter, Kansas City leads in the eighth, 4-4."

"Reynolds is no youngster, he's five-eight, 165." "Willie Davis is not as young as he used to be." "They throw Winfield out at second, but he's safe." "A day without newspapers is like walking around with your pants on." "McCovey swings and misses and it's fouled back."

"And infield beats out a Winfield hit."

"You walk around the locker room and you see the players with their rippling muscles and stomachs you could wash your clothes in."

To a local group attempting to fight drugs: "Hats off to drug abusers everywhere."

"You shouldn't look a gift horse 111 the face."

"The Phils are really flexing their fangs out there." "National League umpires wear inside check protesters. "

"Hendrick simply lost that sun-blown popup."

"In a bunt situation, the batter always looks at the third base coach to see if he wants him to do what he wants him to do."

"The ex-Ieft-hander will be going for Houston tonight."

"At the end of six innings, it's Montreal 6, the Expos 3."

"Ozzle Smith just made another play that I've never seen anyone else make before — and I've seen him make it more than anyone else ever has."

"This game is like a yo-yo. When one side goes up, the other goes down."

(Coleman on Colemanisms): "Sometimes you lose your concentration — but it's part of the game."

Well, San Diego wouldn't want to lose someone like ole Jere. Let's just hope the Padres make his pay hike radioactive.
