Scrappiness is...

So I was skimming VEB because well, I had to find a way to stay awake for another hour at work, and found them enjoying this evil BCB post-

It appears to be similar to what we refer to here as Scrappiness. I know it has been discussed extensively and there are many examples of scrappy play, but we have never taken the time to really outline what scrappiness is. Thought this would help us forget this craptastic return to playing ball after the All Star Break and have some fun.

Needs soulpatch.

I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

Scrapple?

Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

Thanx for the tip...

I had discovered that but didn’t expect to have to enter a url.
I guess i don’t know how to do that if the picture I want is on my computer. I guess I can’t. Oh well.
