BASEBALL INSULTS
"I hate playing centerfield against Lenny Dykstra. One of these years, he's gonna give me foot cancer out there." - Andy Van Slyke, on Dykstra's excessive use of chewing tobacco...
.
"All I owe anyone is a hard game of ball" - Richie Allen (I'll defer to any Philly guys - or girls - to say whether or not he delivered on that, as well as whether he is properly referred to as Richie or Dick Allen)

"You know what they do when the game's rained out? They go to the airport and boo landings." - Bob Uecker, on Phillies fans

"Philadelphia is the only city, where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day." -- Mike Schmidt

Bob Uecker:
"That's all we got, one &*%damn hit?"
"You cant say &^(damn on the air."
"Dont worry, nobody is listening anyway."

"If God helped you hit that home run that last time up, who struck you out the time before that?"
"Most of us have such bad voices, we respect the National Anthem by not singing it."

When Lowenstein and Mel Proctor used to call games for the O's on Home Team Sports:
First of all, as most of you know, baseball bats are made from Ash trees (or at least that used to be the case).
A player came up to bat against the O's, swung, and busted his bat. Foul ball. As the batter was going to get another bat, Mel was making some commentary on the busted bat.
Lowenstein's response:
"Well you know Mel, it's hard to find a good piece of ash every night."

And the one that cost him his job announcing the game of the week (work with me here, mods). The camera kept panning on a couple making out in the bleachers inning after inning. Towards the end of the game Diz says to Pee Wee Reese: "Pee Wee, I've finally figured out what's going on out there. He's kissing her on the strikes and she's kissing him on the balls."
