Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


In Honor of his First Start: "Out Man": The Worst P.I. Ever

I think my first poetic interlude is at least statistically on the mark.

Here goes:

original lyrics.

youtube

One, two, three, out!

Huh!

One, two, three, out!

There's a strike for you, strike two, strike three

can't hit our main man from Phil-yyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

'cuz I'm the Out Man

yeah I'm the Out Man

 

Should Halo "bats" appear too small

Be thankful I will throw a ball

 

'cuz I'm the Out Man

yeah I'm the Out Man

 

If you swing the bat, I'll bring the heat

If you try to sit, I'll hit your feet

If you get too cold, I'll call you "meat"

If you take a walk, I'll take the heat

 

Out-man!

'cuz I'm the Out Man

Yeah, I'm the Out Man.

 

Don't ask me why my curve's so poor

If you don't want the ball at your door.

 

'cuz I'm the Out Man,

Yeah, I'm the Out Man.

 

Now my advice for those who whine (Out-Man)

You won't score off Josh and Devine (Out-Man)

 

'cuz I'm the Out Man

Yeah, I'm the Out Man.

 

And you're workin', for no one, but bi-LEEEEEEEEE

 

Out Mannnnnnnnnnn

Took me back

to the days of 3-minute songs and 2-hour baseball games.

As for your first ’lude, nice work, mikeA.

I'm here to talk about the past.

MikeA was on 'ludes when he wrote it?

Takes ME back.

Good’un MikeA — you didn’t let The Man wring-out all your creative impulses.

Calling parodists

I’ve had an idea for a PI for a while but I’m not nearly clever enough to make the whole thing work. Pink Floyd’s “How I Wish You Were Here” is ripe for a PI. Take this as both a challenge and a request.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

Aw, geez...

How I wish I had time.

If you’re not lying, i recommend seeing a doctor. @('.')@

I thought

“Oh great! We finally had a convincing win and now WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!” …only for about two seconds though.

Pinch-runners hitting grand slams,

the earth shaking, A’s changing colors to black and orange…yep, the end is surely near.

I'm here to talk about the past.

It's not clear whether God is shaking the tree-sitters down from the trees

pursuant to a legal injunction, or sending a stern warning to cut-down-ers and their Tedford-idolizing, anti-Mr. Running Wolf-setting-giant piles-of-shit-on-fire-in-the-middle-of-Telegraph-Avenue drones, such as myself. Only time will tell.

The A's colors are green and gold.

Holy hyphens

Missed opportunities

Hey, I can play for the A’s!

I'm here to talk about the past.

But

Will Outman ever get out there man.

Nah, Tom Selleck was a way worse PI

Goo goo g’joob.

Arte didn't get much Home Run Derby. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat.

He has also played an "Out" Man

Whoa — I’ve got goosebumps!

He also made an out, man

(not just at the plate, but at the box office)

I'm here to talk about the past.
