So let's watch and listen to something else. Something better and more useful. Like this lecture, "Revolution Obamacare Benghazi fake birth certificate."
Still in Germany, watching the carnage from a safe distance and lubricated by the fine wines of the Mosel River valley.
The feel of this team is so close to those I knew in my teens, it's scary. But I know one of these days, we'll trade for Danny Cater and Munson will come up from the minors. We'll actually progress to being a .500 team. And only a few years down the road, with our free-spending new owner at the helm, we'll sign the best of the best, hire and fire managers as if they were the overpaid lugnuts they actually are, and see a couple more rings before fading back into also-rans with highly-paid underachievers.
Thankfully, in 20 years or so from now, our hard-charging new owner will get banned for political shenanigans and we'll watch as a dedicated group of real baseball experts put together a team that dominates baseball for 5-10 years.
Man, if we're still in the waiting-for-Cater stage of this cycle, we've got a lot of time left wandering in the desert. Where's Lindy McDaniel when you really need him?

Boy, that'll be great. Hope I'm not dead by then.

ReplyDeleteWhy does this guy remind me Rick Moranis's character in Ghostbusters?? Maybe it's because they sound alike, and both sound insane??
