Random Thoughts, the Sequel

1) I'm bringing back the term "pickle" in baseball.

2) Jeff Van Gundy is pure onions for being the color commentator THE SAME DAY HE GETS FIRED as Rockets coach. Fucking outstanding. When Phil Jackson leaves LA, I want Van Gundy to coach the Lakers.

 

Seriously? I thought a hotbox is when you smoke weed in a car, but keep the windows rolled up to make it so you get more high.

 

I'm not even sure what pepper is.

 

That, too.

 

Times have changed, my friend. Times have changed.

 

Hell'z no! I'm going to have everyone one in my area talkin' pickles. In fact, since I took pictures of the 2 pickles, I'm going to run a photo package of them and write a little something about the rebirth of "the pickle."

Rundown ... how pedestrian.

 

I've never heard the term "pickle" in regards to a rundown in my life.

Xan, you're weird.

 

Maybe it was a west coast thing.

 

Nah, I heard it, too.

Just ... haven't used it in a while, that's all.

 

I'm going to respond like a Republican right now:

IJAG, you've never heard the term "pickle" ? Oh, come on! (that's the Republican response for everything when they pretend to be outraged).

But seriously, you get caught in a pickle. It's as old as baseball.

It's actually interesting: I'd like for some of y'all to ask your HS or local college coaches if they ever used the term pickle. I dare to say that 75 percent of coaches over 45 years old know that a rundown is called a "pickle."
