The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

Even if the Rangers are the opposition? Wow. Goes head to head with Texas-Oklahoma. So much for MLB getting a top-10 market for that one.

 

I haven't watched a ton of Blue Jays games this year, but in each one I'm pretty sure I saw Bo Bichette get thrown out at the plate -- including in yesterday's game against the Twins. I wonder if anyone has ever kept track of who was thrown out at the plate the most times in a season/career.

 

Playoff baseball is worth every penny. Baseball in general is almost always worth every penny.

Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks, at this stage of their careers, are not worthy of every penny unless concerts tix were $10, which I'm guessing, is about 5% of what tix actually were.

 

At least it's an improvement over having nine innings decide your season after 162 games

 

I don't mind that. You back your way into the playoffs ... bring your best for 9 innings if you want to move on.

 

Fuck off Bubbs I challenge you to a duel at the restaurant Billy Joel was singing about in Scenes From An Italian Restaurant!!!! (I'll DM you the address)

 

I'll throw you a bone and offer up something positive about Billy Joel ... they seem to be playing "Honesty" on satellite radio more often. That song seemed to disappear off the face of the Earth for 25 years. Good song, truly.

As for Nicks? Would it be in poor taste during a quiet lull between songs to shout, "Where's Lindsey Buckingham?"

 

Or Scenes from Pickles Pub

 

Honestly, "Honesty" should have stayed disappeared. That song suuuucks. Billy once said someone in the band (the drummer Liberty DiVito maybe?) would sing "Sodomy" in place of "Honesty" and frankly that's much better.

As for Stevie, she's surely weird and fucked up but I can't think of a solo song of hers I don't like. I'd definitely enjoy a Billy/Stevie show, especially if I got to see it after fighting you.
