He should be out there every day. Can’t get any better!
There is no place like Nebraska - Go Huskers!
does he still mess up the last four notes?
by HereComesASpecialBoy on Jul 11, 2008 1:18 PM CDT up reply actions
not mess up
although he’s holding the second to last too long, and has no support for the last note.

Do you remember last weeked?
The Riot got drilled. Soto got hit.

One was right at Edmonds knee’s.
And I am forgetting some.
This has been started and needs stopping
last weekend many cubs batsmen were hit

At Edmonds knee it makes me want to spit
And other balls at cubs, it makes me pissed

That make me sad and want to hit the sack

...simply throwing up and in serves a purpose. establishes the fact that if a batter is up there humping the plate, that i’m still going to throw inside. it also shows your team that you are paying attention to what is going on.
