No, not war with Iran or the planet's temperature increasing by another three degrees.
Much more ominous than that. Namely:
—Giancarlo Stanton will return to the active roster.
—Some Yankee will be dragooned into playing the Home Run Derby at the All-Star break.
Suddenly, the answer to both looming catastrophes presented itself to me: this one solves itself!
We insist on Stanton representing us in this dubious endeavor. Even if he's not off the DL yet, due to his having stubbed a toe or developed a nasty hangnail.
He's our guy, and we send him out there. A few ferocious swings and...presto! Problem solved! If somehow that doesn't work, we insist that he play the field as well. Back to the DL.
Speaking of which, watching the SNY
Instead, they turned their attentions to...Thairo Estrada.
Sigh.
Yeah, I guess getting shot, miraculously absorbing the bullet into your blood stream and emerging as the next superhero isn't enough for them.
Thairo is my Pharaoh!
I like this Stanton idea.

In memory of Bill Buckner, a funny scene he was in while on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteAfter Larry runs into Buckner at a Manhattan baseball autograph convention, they become friends and Bill tries to get David past an error he made in the championship game of the Central Park Over 40 Softball League which causes his team to lose.
This scene is the reason for the entire Bill Buckner episode arc.

That whole episode was hilarious, especially the scene where they won't let Buckner complete the minyan because, the host says, "You ruined my life!"
ReplyDeleteAlso, Bart Starr, a great pro, died this week.
Horace, yes...another great Curb episode.
ReplyDeleteLarry David is a comedy genius and the real force behind Seinfeld.
I didn't realize Bart was that old. I should have especially if I looked at my
Driver's lice se or birth certificate.
The Stanton hate on this page is still stupid
