I just think Griffey and Cincinnati have been a terrible fit.  It makes me sad everytime I think of it.  We've been awful, and he's barely played.  That's just not how it should have turned out.

technically
any ball that bounces more than 6 inches high is over his head, so most balls do take a bad hop for him.

Southern Cross
I was torn on whether to include it.  I absolutely LOVE the song, and I go crazy when he plays it live (maybe in part because he always plays it late when I have a few cocktails in me).  However, I always think of it as a Crosby, Stills and Nash song.  CSN was obviously first, and is just a much better version of the song.

Energy, maybe...
but it doesn't have the soul of CSN's version.  The Coral Reefers are great, but nobody can match the harmony in the chorus on the original.  It's amazing....7 different people can listen to it, they'll hear 7 different melodies, and they all sound good.

Agreed...
I think Jimmy's version benefits from not being recorded in a studio.  Every version he's released of it has been a live version.  Therefore the energy of the song and the crowd is able to come through more easily..

Question.

What do you think of Uncle John's Band and Scarlet Begonias?  You like Jimmy's version or the Dead's?

Dead
as far as "Uncle John's Band" goes.  I love Buffett as a songwriter and performer, but he's just not a great vocalist.  He can't carry a song like "Southern Cross" or "Uncle John's Band" the way David Crosby or Jerry Garcia can.  I've honestly never heard Buffett's version of "Scarlet Begonias."

It's on Licenst to Chill, which was his best album since Fruitcakes in my opinion.

I think he expected me to find the highest ever
but I'm not sure I could if I wanted to.  I knew that he knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that 31 isn't the right total number for tonight.  It's the highest I've ever seen too, but I'm sure it's not a record.

first base
"Elaine, you don't know the first thing about first base."
    "Well, I know something about getting to first base. And I know you'll never be there."
"The way I figure it I've already been there, and I plan on rounding second tonight at around eleven o'clock."
    "Well, uh, I'd watch the third base coach if I were you because I don't think he's waving you in."

Hit and run...
Don't know if that was on purpose or if that was a complete accident. I don't want to give Narron too much credit.

Bottom 9
Who's in to blow it in the 9th?  Weathers?

Weathers if we're up
Perhaps a McBeth sighting if we're still tied?

Probably Weathers in any event.

Or predictable-ass breaking ball, that apparently nobody but Encarnacion knows is coming.
