It's (just after) Halloween...

Reaction to headline: "...who's Song?"

If I were a used car salesman, but then again - No
Or the commissioner of MLB who turned it into a travveeellinng showw.
I'd buy a big buffet where we both could eat
And you can tell everybody
This is your sonnggg...

I saw the Baseball Project live (for free) at the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival this spring. Ian Hunter played after them. I was predisposed to like both of them. The Baseball Project was actually better IMO.

Whatever it sounds like it has to be better than Lou Reed and Metallica's effort.

Reaction to headline: "...who's Song?"

River Song, born Melody Pond.

MY NAME IS PRINCE
And I am pudgy
MY NAME IS PRINCE
I like cakes fudgy
I did not come 2 funk around
Give me eight years or I'll eat your pitching mound

Dream Syndicate and Doctor Who within six posts. Easily my favorite thread of the day.

I saw The Baseball Project in concert during the summer. It was an intimate show, but well worth it. Lyrically, their songs are clever and they ad-libbed half a song about baseball beards that referenced Jose Bautista and Brian Wilson.

When you were young you said that carrots gave you power,
While hitting shots that would soar right through the breeze,
We always wondered if you could see your knees.

Your mom would watch the money flow out the door,
As dad would think up lots of new bets to try,
After each little win he'd say let it ride.

Didn't really have to work too hard for that one, did you, Gonfalon? :-)

It's four o'clock and it's a miserable day
The Orioles stink but you're playing for them anyway
Won't you come back to a little place called Miller Park
The only way to get there is on I-94
You know at Camden Yards, the owner is a fink
The team that plays on the field, they.... really really stink!
The Orioles really stink!

Come back tooo Milwaukee
Come back tooo Milwaukee

You say that money is everything
Well I'd like to see you live without it
You think in Baltimore you'll go on living like a king
Oooh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Because the Orioles stink!
Because the Orioles stink!

You're gonna come back, fat boy
Fat boy, back toooo Milwaukee
You're gonna come back, fat boy
Fat boy, back toooo Milwaukee

How can you just leave us standing
Alone in a city that's so cold (so cold)
Why are your terms so demanding?
Maybe you're just like your father- too old
Maybe you're just like John Lackey
Eating only chicken that's fried
Why should we deal with each other?
This is what it sounds like- when the Cubs cry

Dig if u will the picture
Of u after another big whiff
The groan of the crowd echoes so loudly
Can u my Princeling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a ballpark
A cesspool of sadness indoors
Home run hitters pose curiously
They can hit the heat
The heat you miss as they boo

Harder than you imagine... I wasted some time in a futile search for a cut-and-pasteable "eyeball" symbol. That is, (eye) wasted some time.

13 and 14 are just fantastic. I'm gchatting with friends and I just shared them and they're delirious from the brilliance.

Suck in if u will your tummy
See how it gets in the way
The heater inside got you all tied up
Don't chase after it
Even u got eyes

Yeah I was working part time before my meal
my boss was Mr. Roenicke
He told me several times that I'd get no new deal
because I was a bit too heavy

Seems I was busy doing something close to walking
no different than the day before
that's when I saw it, ooh, I saw it
It was in the concessions on the 3rd floor

It was a raspberry parfait
the kind you get with ice cream
It was a raspberry parfait
and it was warm I'd eat the plate clean
raspberry parfait
I think I love...cream

I knew a cat named Theo
I guess u could say he was a real dream
I met him in a hotel lobby
Fantasizing 'bout a dream team
He said howd u like 2 waste some time
And I could not resist when I saw little Theo grind

He took me 2 his office
And I just couldnt believe my eyes
He had so many computers
All the spreadsheets that money could buy
He said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out
And Theo and I started 2 grind

Oooh, Theo

The office started spinning
Or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell u what he did 2 me
But my bank will never be the same
His assistants will kick your behind
Oh, hell show u no mercy
But hell shonuff shonuff show u how 2 grind

Darlin' Theo

Woke up the next morning
My CEO he wasn't there
I looked all over and all I found
Was a contract left on the stairs
It said thank u 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever u want 2 grind

Oh, Theooo, ohhhh

Come back Theo, come back
Your dirty little prince
Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only want 8 years, one-eighty million
I want to go to PNC and be Clint Hurdle's man

Hurdle's man Hurdle's man
Hurdle's man Hurdle's man
Hurdle's man Hurdle's man

I never wanted 2 be your weakened slugger
I just wanted 2 be your first base man
Baby I could never steal second or any other
It's such a shame my contract had to end

Hurdle's man Hurdle's man
Hurdle's man Hurdle's man
Hurdle's man Hurdle's man

I want to go to PNC and be Clint Hurdle's man

I've seen the future and it will be

BATMAN, BATMAN, BATMAN
"Oh - that's nice"
"Hey, Fielder"
"I've tried to avoid all this, but I can't"
"I just gotta know... are we gonna try 2 love each other?"
"Stop the press - who is that?"
"Doug Melvin"
"He's great, isn't he?"

"This town needs an enema!"
