Not many folks quoting songs off of Love & Theft.

I like that album.

Me too. "Stayed in Mississippi a Day Too Long" is particularly meaningful to me.

Last three years have been "High Water" for me.

LOL I know the feeling.

"I can write you poems make
a grown man lose his mind."

High water risin’, six inches ’bove my head
Coffins droppin’ in the street
Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin’ into Vicksburg, don’t know what I’m goin' to do
“Don’t reach out for me,” she said
“Can’t you see I’m drownin’ too?”
It’s rough out there
High water everywhere

Good stuff, 3TDs.

Gotta get some shit done today.

Laters.

Heard Jimmy Fallon on the radio this morning talking about his work. Really made me want to become a comedian. Big question, of course: Am I funny?

Awesome! Wonder if Xander can pitch.

He can't be any worse than Masterson.

Pitching's actually been a lot better the last few weeks. Team ERA of 3.26 over the last 28 days. The lineup's been atrocious since April. Which made Sunday's 7-run inning even more incredible.

LOL Pretty sure that most of the posts are about Bob Dylan. Not sure whether Zimmy is a baller, but I understand that this guy is:

I like about a dozen Dylan songs.

That's all I got.

One of the first albums that I ever bought, nearly 40 years ago, was Dylan's Greatest Hits. I grew up listening to that, but never really payed much attention to stuff he did after the mid 70s. Went and saw him about ten years ago and was absolutely stunned by his music from "Love and Theft" and "Time Out of Mind". Really high quality.

You see, the thread title only mentions the Padres when they win. If they're not in the thread title, the only logical conclusion is that they lost.

That makes sense, if they win everyone is gonna want to know about it.

Surely that's what Hammer was thinking when he instituted the rule
