Bob Murphy is a great guy. He's been broadcasting the Mets since Day 1. I figure his retirement would come soon. I've been listening to him since I was in 3rd grade. I've noticed he's only been doing homegames, because I know his health hasnt been that great.

But even as far back as the 86 season, he was always getting huge globs of phlegm caught in his throat. i.e. "... and it's a li<glug>ne drive ... " And he almost never clears his throat afterwards, or even swallow. Just tries to talk right through it all. And sometimes his voice just sorta hangs into the loogie, about an octave higher with a wacky terrific inflection. It always made Mets games real interesting to listen to.

Now, that one looks too big.

You cannot be a Met fan and not love Bob Murphy. Many times I will watch the game on TV with the sound off, and catch the radio broadcast, because Fran Healy drives me fuckin' nuts.

All that will be left from the original three will be Ralph Kiner, and he should have retired a long time ago..........but I always stuck around and watched Kiner's Koma.

Let's hope that his last game with the Mets they win it, so he can go out on top with a final "Happy Recap".

This thread prooves why it's sometimes good for Gary Cohen to chime in.

Gary Cohen treats Bob as if he were a great-uncle in the throes of senility. Bob will make yet another loopy observation, and Gary will simply stay quiet long enough for Bob to finish what amounts to another one of his incoherent phlegm-induced ramblings. Gary just ignores it, as if it never happened, as if Bob did not make a point at all.

Sometimes Bob will turn his mike off to just go all out and hock that loogie up, when it gets too bad. You can hear it distinctly, he is mid-sentence when inevitably that growling looger creeps in, until it quickly takes over and overpowers his larynx, first a soft rumble, then a rolling glurgle, then a full-blown greenish mass of google lodged in his trachea that needs to be hacked up. But first he'll try to talk through it, for the heck of it, it is a Murph tradition to do so.

One would think that this guy would be anything but an announcer, with that phlegm problem for the past 30 years inhibiting every 3rd sentence.

Fast fact/trivia tidbit: Gary Cohen and Gary Thorne are cousins of the two Darrins on Bewitched.
