I thought a classic Peaches and Herb headline was apropos considering last night brought you both the gathering of the Gary Matthewses at The Bank and the annual ‘Sound of Philadelphia’ celebration in which Teddy Pendergrass was an honoree.
Unfortunately, Gary Junior didn’t get the start, so his father will have to wait at least one more day before he can call one of his son’s at-bats. But that didn’t stop the Comcast graphics squad from airing a thoughtful ‘Matthews Family Album’ to share with viewers during the broadcast. I went ahead and placed the screenshots in a nifty little slideshow. There were only two pages of the photo album last night, but I’m hoping this trend continues throughout the series. If it does, I will update the slideshow as I get the pics, but for now – this’ll have to do.
If you need some explanation for the who/what/where on the photos, click on the caption button.
After the jump, I cut video of a nice Dei Lynam-moderated conversation between father & son…

Sarge Junior, put a hat on! I didn’t raise you sans-fedora!
//Sarge’d
I can only imagine how awkward/bored Dei Lynam must feel while interviewing those two at the same time.
Enough with the friggin’ Matthews Family Album crap. We’ve missed two inning-ending defensive plays now because we were looking at baby pictures of Junior or whatever. ENOUGH!
You seem to be in the majority, Mr. dogood. I was at The Bank this afternoon sitting in left field and they booed the shit out of lil’ Sarge. It was brutal. A lot of the insults directed towards him were about ‘roids, but people were killing his old man. I actually felt bad for him.
I guess I’m in the minority, then. Anyone else see the excellent camerawork done during the Sarge/Sarge Jr. lunch interview on Behind the Pinstripes?
I smell an Emmy.
That’s ms. dogood, actually.
I have nothing against Sarge Jr. but I resented missing plays on the broadcast because they were showing pictures. There’s one out, they’re showing the pictures, then they said, “Oh, double play,” quickly showed a replay and went to commercial. WHAT? And another time there were two outs, they showed pictures, next thing you see Hamels walking off the mound and they go to commercial. WHAT HAPPENED???? If they want to show that stuff, do it during the seventh-inning stretch or something, not while the game is going on!
