I love Neil Walker and his connection to the incomparable Roberto Clemente Walker and wish Arrieta (started 3 home openers for the locals) had put it together in Mobtown so I'm glad for the Cubs and I can let go of my sports hate for the Pirates forever.driphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182879631506288757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-64003780792430087202015-10-09T11:16:52.176-04:002015-10-09T11:16:52.176-04:00Yes, East MoCo is weird.

What I found interesting are the layers of shell corporations that are making dough on this. I know that makes Landru laugh.<br /><br />Of course, your posting a link based on a Doors riff made me smile.

Didn't know anyone well who wanted to go, so sold three tickets at face: 15 bucks each (obviously not magnanimous, coulda given 'em away... but plenty of beer money).<br /><br />Once inside, seated a few rows back of Bucs' dugout, listening to a local prattle on about, "Looki' 'at guy, Bahhhhnds wid a fuckin ear-ring, over by dare!" Barry's head was smaller then. But seeing him and Bonilla up close was kind of a kick in '91. Guy arrives next to me, a couple of friends in tow. I ask him how much he paid: "45 each." I probably told him how magnanimous I'd been.<br /><br />As it goes to extra innings, I notice a mom, dad and son, disagreement between the latter two about leaving. Son doesn't wanna. Father says, "Alright, another inning." End of the 10th tied 8-8, kid still doesn't wanna leave, pouts, finally relents after a verbal struggle. Bottom of 11th, Mark Grace hits a one run walk-off against Bill Landrum.<br /><br />I was thinking at work today that my opening sentence was vague in that vernacular and thought about sneaking in and changing it when I got home. You quoted it. It remains.

And there's the Indian place in Hillandale we go to. If you're asking me when the last time I was in White Oak or Burtonsville I think you were living w Mothra in her apartment behind the You'll Be Mugged in Parking Lot Strip Mall on Briggs Chaney.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-25676659119786559452015-10-08T12:08:41.307-04:002015-10-08T12:08:41.307-04:00From the depths of our childhoods, I spit at thee....From the depths of our childhoods, I spit at thee.
