Are we tempting the ju ju gods here? Certainly, identifying an injury on thinnest, even non-existent, evidence is a venerable prophylactic against a real injury. But the ju ju gods must know that. And might want to teach us a lesson. In short...Love the initiative, but question the judgment.
In honor of Jazz Chisholm and All-Star Week, with apologies to Kander & Ebb:
C’mon, kids, we’re gonna waste your time With all that Jazz. Buy up our all-star gear down to your last thin dime For all that Jazz.
Interviews with players on the field And all that Jazz. Oh, the insights they will yield! And all that Jazz.
Click on your phone, I know a nothing show Where the ads don’t stop And the patriotics blow. It’s just a gimmicky mess Where the more is less And all that Jazz.
Down that booze, And stop that schmooze, Here comes all that Jazz. I hear the Manfred man Is gonna make some news, And all that Jazz.
Hold on, fans, Here comes the cancer schtick, Where we exploit the folks we love, If they are good and sick. I brought handkerchiefs, Should need to sniff, The camera’s that way, Give them your deepest grief, And all that Jazz.
Pop a gummie, Eat up all the Trumpy lies. The crash won’t feel so bad If you anaesthetize. And all that Jazz.
C’mon kids, We’re gonna touch the sky. I betcha Blue Origin’s gals Never got this high, ‘Cause even up in space They couldn’t catch the bombs Hit all by Jazz.
Oh, we’re gonna see our all-stars shine! Oh, for two or three frames until they’re back on pine! Oh, your blood is gonna curdle! Guess we’re goin’ back to wordle Once we’re done with All that Jazz.
All right, we give Jazz his props. Nice play by Olson. But of course, only Boone could manage to have Jazz up three times, and Judge up twice in the All-Star game.
Other observations: Detroit is a fraud. Nobody on the Tigers did anything of worth. They will not take the pennant. How come there were so many Royals on the AL team? Did a lot of people cancel? They're under .500. So Gleyber with a typical Gleyber day: 0-2 at the plate, out of position on a key play that lets the NL score another Run. I'm not surprised. But how the hell was it that Brian Cashman could not get a player for him?

DeleteVery Good Hoss. You too AA on the opening salvo .
ReplyDeleteThe Home Run Derby
ReplyDeleteI watched the unwatchable.
For the final time.
Winner got big bling!
Players channeling wrestlers,
Next years' The White House.
He certainly is flashy. It did not help and won't in the Post Season.
ReplyDeleteNobody commenting on the ALLSTAR GAME……Boone is managing…can yah tell ? Asking for a / the FUTURE OF ALL MANKIND …..
ReplyDeleteYes, the juju gods always manage some, ultimate humiliation. Jazz vs. Diaz. Of course. Why didn't I see this coming?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. The check swing foul to start. Classic.
ReplyDeleteHuh, another check-swing foul. Well, hey, it's not like he's ever faced Diaz before. Right?
ReplyDeleteAll right, we give Jazz his props. Nice play by Olson. But of course, only Boone could manage to have Jazz up three times, and Judge up twice in the All-Star game.
ReplyDeleteCan I just add, what an incredible piece of shit Randy Arozarena is? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! It's Torrents, for the Bottom of the 9th! Of course, that would be Boone's choice. What a moron.
ReplyDeleteThis game will end within seconds.

Wait, a "home-run swing off?'" Nope. Grotesque. I will not watch. Awful, awful, awful.
ReplyDeleteto make it worse Boone has to pick three guys and doesn't pick judge or the big dumper.
ReplyDeleteA ma z I n g
DeleteUh, uhm, ah, like, you know, I mean is, uh Boone for like…real?
ReplyDeleteNo. He's a hologram like Hank Aaron. Who is, sadly, also brain dead.
