  1. Dave Says:

    Like I said the first time I watched that: I don’t know what they said, but it sounded AWESOME! Viva RAAAUUUUULLLLL!!

  2. Bryan Says:

    Meech,

    You’re the god damn man….well next to RAUL of course. Thanks for posting so soon!

  3. Estebomb Says:

    This is probably the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.

  4. Metschick Says:

    Because I must share awesome calls (even those that hurt):

    “Go-ahead run is on second base. Here comes the pitch: it’s high, towards right field, deep, Martinez is looking for it, back, back – that ball is not comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing back! Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul Ibanez! What a hit!”

    (tablaso = slang for hit)

    And scene.

  5. Diane Says:

    I was hoping I’d get to see this again. I love this…Thanks for posting! So cool !!

  6. meech.one Says:

    You’re alright, Metschick.

  7. Metschick Says:

    Hey, a friend of Clare’s is a friend of mine. Even if we’re enemies 19 times a year.

  8. MP Says:

    Does que chupe have something to do with Choke??

    This was the highlight of the night. One of the awesomest calls ever, muchos gracias for the post!

  9. Clare Says:

    That was classy of you, Metsy.

  10. Tug Haines Says:

    PELOOOOTAAAAAAAAAA NO REGRESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  11. Clare Says:

    ¿Como se dice “That ball’s outta here” en Español, Tug?

  12. Doc | bss.com Says:

    PELOOOOTAAAAAAAAAA NO REGRESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

    Will that fit on a tshirt with Raul’s swing?

  13. PhiPhan5648 Says:

    Truly one of the coolest calls of the season… loved it.

  14. will.H Says:

    that call was el awesome. raul can stick it, grande time

  15. Lynniemac Says:

    Metschick: that was awesome of you to do the translation. Thanks.

    Would anyone with far better Spanish skills than I possess care to write out the whole call? I’d appreciate it.

  16. Greg Says:

    I want the Rauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul Ibanez to be my ringtone.

  17. Max Says:

    Thanks to my knowledge of knowing how to use Yahoo!’s Babelfish, I’d like to say to all the Mets fans out there:
    “¡Una qué estrangulación por el Mets!”
    Translated to: “What a choke by the Mets!”

  18. John Says:

    i gotta a nickname for ibanez

    the mexican CANNON

  19. Mike P Says:

    Yeah, I was totally pumped up when I saw this. RAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL IBANEZ!!!!

  20. Conrad Says:

    Anyone else catch the expression on Howard’s face after Raul hit the HR? Dude was not happy.

  21. Kelly Says:

    @Conrad-
    I saw that too… can’t a dude be happy for his team mate? As a HUGE Burrell fan even I was happy for Ibanez to see what it feels like to beat the Mets.
    What was up with that?

  22. Tug Haines Says:

    @John

    He’s not Mexican, numbnuts. He’s fuckin’ United Statesian.

  23. GM-Carson Says:

    I wanna hear that shit in Japanese!

  24. Gabrielle Says:

    i am so glad you put this up here!!

  25. Diane Says:

    Can this be made into an mp3? Actually, I’m just looking for the Rauuuuuuuul Ibanezzzzzzzzz part. I want to put this as my text tone! :)

    By the way…I also noticed Ryan Howard’s look after Raul hit the home run. Not sure what to make of it. I can’t imagine him not being happy for his teammate. I was assuming he was just annoyed about his own strikeout!

  26. Jay Ballz Says:

    Good stuff. I knew thefightins would have this clip!

  27. Gonzo Says:

    I’ve listened to this about 27 times and it never gets old. Thanks dude.

  28. Whack8888 Says:

    For Howard: I think it was Pedro Feliz going to on deck circle and he looked surprisingly unhappy as well! I would guess they were just kind of tired, as it didnt really look like anyone in the Phillies dug out was all that excited. Out of like the 8 people on the video, only one guy was even shouting or high fiving. The other guys had subdued smiles and such. I doubt Howard is jealous or anything.

    Also, great call!

  29. Jason Says:

    http://www.phonezoo.com/Ringtone.do?id=98951042
    i made a ring tone for you guys

  30. tofoomeister Says:

    Thanks for the URL fix.

    And thanks, Metschick, for the translation. Babelfish butchers baseball terms. Typing in ‘homerun’ gives back ‘homerun’, which means the term wasn’t found. Even better is ‘home run’ translated to Spanish and then back into English: ‘homemade operation’.

    Even better is washing the whole call through Babelfish:

    ‘The operation of the free route is in the second base. Here the thrown one comes: she is high, towards the correct, deep field, is looking for it to Martinez, buttock, buttock – that ball is not becoming! Raul Ibanez! What a blow!’

  31. Mike Says:

    That translation is awesome.

  32. Jason Says:

    hey guys sorry that link didnt work. the ring tone is pending. once it is cleared ill post a better link…hopefully

  33. Diane Says:

    Thanks Jason. Yes, def post back once it’s cleared!

  34. Amanda Says:

    Spanish HR calls are awesome. They’re awesome even if I can’t understand it.

  35. Birdland Says:

    @doc,
    I’d say that’s got about a 129% chance of happening in the coming days…

  36. Alex Says:

    I will name my first born after anyone who can get that into a ringtone for my iphone

  37. Extremely Taguchi Says:

    I have listened to this 100 times. I want to start listening to 1480 and putting the TV on mute like how you avoid Joe Buck during eagles games. of course i’d miss the sarge…

  38. Gonzo Says:

    I tried listening to the radio with the tv on, and the radio was a good 10-15 seconds behind.

  39. Tug Haines Says:

    Home Run in spanish, if you watch baseball games or highlights on spanish-language TV, is a phonetic equivalent: Jon Ron.

  40. tofoomeister Says:

    @birdland/thefightins: Any chance I could get a PELOTA NO REGRESA shirt before my next game (6/17) or the game after that (7/9)?

  41. RicoBrogna Says:

    Finally! I can turn the sound back on when i watch the phillies! I hate wheels, sarge and t-bag. i’ll be tuning in the spanish guys who actually have a pulse and are excited when the phils do something good!

  42. luvjdub Says:

    Seriously…. did anyone turn this into a ringtone yet?
