Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Sets Assist High In Easy Win Over Sacramento

Come, MondA's!

With apologies to Parrotheads everywhere, and fond memories evoked by this vid:

I offer this small ode to the impending bA'seball season.

 

Star-divide

Headin' out to San Francisco,
For the Op’ning Day warm-up show.
I'll have my green parka on,
You know I’m not meant to freeze my ass-off, by the Cove.
Old ballyard -- I didn't know,
That I'd be missin' you so!

Chorus:
Come Monday, it'll be all right,
Come Monday, starts a new pennant fight.
You’ll spend four lousy days in a brown slegnA haze,
And be back here for Opening Night!

Yes, it's been a long winter,
Rent-a-stars and shoulder strains.
Another new Beaneball creation,
Sometimes, they’re hard to explain.
But bA’seball, since i love you so,
That's the reason I just hafta go --

Chorus:
Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, starts a new pennant fight
There’ll be Sunday’s workout, and then four days without
Fin’lly Friday is Opening Night!

 
I can't help it -- Stomper
Is that much a part of me now.
Despite all that tarp monkey business,
And even when there’s no free kraut!

Our pitchers may start on the DL,
I know Chavvy may end up there.
But then there’s this new guy Holliday,
J’ombi, OCab, and kids – how’ll they fare?  
It’s the last verse -- you’re glad, I can tell,
One more chorus; no more dog-ger-ell...

Chorus:
Come Monday, bA’seball makes it all right,
Come Monday, starts a new pennant fight.
Six long months in a daze, and now I’m nearly crazed,
And I just want to start the wild ride!

Six months wasting away, finally Opening Day
And we soon get to start the wild ri-i-i-de!

Samir, you're missing the point. The point of the exercise is that you're supposed to figure out what you would want to do if...

PC Load Letter……WHAT THE F*CK DOES THAT MEAN?

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
