Engineers

Locusts eat my worldview.

Then Bobby Crosby stepped to the plate and SMASH! the window of opportunity was glass in Puget Sound. Why blame the motorcycles? The A's are Oakland. Stupid. Astroturf burns. Ink, ballpoint. It doesn't matter. Blocks are longer here. Brick innuendo and vice versa. Wandering but Cust homers and All You Need Is Love. 

Green. Gold. BLAST! from the past. There are moons. Porchlights in broad daylight, and you think I'm crazy? Sweep it under the rug. Clashing. The kernel as in truth not popcorn. Ryan Sweeney bats left throws left. Wireless router. Sprint to the finish Don Wakamatsu!

Try again baseball. The World Series on Venus. Cigarettes breathe themselves. Why. Gray socks? If you plug in the hair dryer, daydreaming is better. But not strike four! Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd. Phewtile soot and bye bye American Pie. Plastic bags kill everything.

Bird nest.

Hmm...

... I’m reminded of that scene in Ocean’s 12 where Clooney and Pitt are messing with Matt Damon with their russian friend…

I’ll bite:

Snorg tees. Life is like a box of peanuts. Where can I go to get the best scrap metal pancakes? Eric Chavez is rehabbing his shoulder but is his shoulder rehabbing Eric Chavez?

Wow, this is harder than I thought…

My take

Rickey equals runs because runs were Rickey. Stealing, but in a kind way like “Robinhood of the Bases”. Thighs not like a chicken but a griffin. Smooth, like river rock. A tug of his shirt, a skip-to-my-loo, a blast of gas, he touched ‘em all and all were touched. The mighty bag collector #35 and #24. Cement it.

Levi Garrett stains and whiskey dreams. Eye-black and a pointy head. Kid was pure southern like gumbo on a hot day. Didn’t juice. NO, he was all meat-n-potatos. Old school in midst of the new school. Reeces is out. Tared Heels and flight footed. A forest of trees and this stinging thistle amongst it. Throwback your lashses. Granite spoon. Scoop up and fluff.

Also, Todd Linden has a .231 lifetime average and a 66 career OPS+, chill Linden fans.

I'm guessing it's not the revolution of the working class

but I could be wrong.

Why the hell is everybody talking like Casey Stengel?
