The 1864 Wabash Mashers and Jefferson Davis Schaeffer's Three Simple Rules
I hadn't seen this before it was replayed on Conan O'Brien's last "Late Night" show on Friday. It was replayed on his last show because it's probably one of the crowd-pleasing funniest things he's done. It's classic Conan. It's funny. It's baseball. Enjoy. (Forgive me if this is one of those things that everyone has already seen countless times.)
Everyone has already seen it countless times? Well, here's something else also baseball-related that I am sure has not been widely circulated as it is new on HBO this month: "Eastbound & Down." Looks promising if you're jonesing for an over-the-top half-hour comedy about John Rocker if he had fallen even further than he fell. Anybody seen it?
From Wikipedia:
Eastbound & Down is a comedy show from HBO, starring Danny McBride as Kenny, a former professional baseballpitcher, who after a disappointing career is forced to return to his hometown middle-school as a substitute physical education teacher.
Will Farrell produces the show and evidently has a recurring bit part. It's classic "phoned-in" Will Farrell. Funny? I dunno. Discuss.
And finally, here's the video for Fogerty's "Centerfield" from 1985. You've heard the song a quazillion times. Maybe you love it. Maybe you've tired of it. Maybe "meh." But the video is pretty cool and I hadn't seen it in a long long time. (And it's kinda hard to track down as YouTube wants no part of it.)

I saw Eastbound and Down last week
It had its moments, but its just a wee bit too ridiculous. I’m going to give it a chance though.

Maybe you should play some real sports...
instead of trying to be the best at exercising.

Man, fuck your siding!
I saw it, I thought it was pretty good. Danny McBride’s character is basically John Rocker with a perm and with an ego that makes Terrell Owens look like Mother Teresa. I recommend it.

Conan's skit
Has been on my MP3 player for over 2 years now. Its the best skit that has ever been on the show. Between the planes ‘demonry’ and hitting on the Civil War wife with ‘I saw your husband in the war, he was making out with other guys’, just great great stuff.

that's not my favorite Conan bit
I need to watch the last ep online. I’ve enjoyed some of the other classic bits they’ve shown this week more (such as him selling his car), but maybe that’s because I’ve seen the baseball bit in a million BBTF threads where it’s proclaimed the bee’s knees.
And now I’m back to listening to Lily Allen‘s new album, and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic.

The phrase "Cone Bone" appears in the final episode as well
And god bless Lily Allen.

That's all I saw but I'd be no good at spotting many from prior to Riverfront/BRM era.
