![]() ![]() ![]() I get that there was a whole industry of performers who either recorded Bob Dylan or Brill Building songs, but to then come up with the genre “Singer/Songwriter?” People complained about the terms Shoegaze or Triphop back in the day, but at least the music was partially steeped in hip hop culture and sonics. I did not realize that Nick Drake and a handful of others would be the exception and not the rule. When I hear that term, I expect a voice and an instrument playing an original song. We are warriors, are we not?! Something, something, Braveheart speech (is Braveheart canceled? Remember when actor/directors like Mel and Kevin were a thing like singer/songwriters in the 70’s? And look, the term “singer/songwriter” never seemed to fit. Crunch the numbers, let loose the spreadsheets, destroy all past projections and balance the new ones against current playing time, keep proposing trades, and wear down the iron spike of malaise until it’s a nub. Stop acting like we’re moving on to FNFL. There’s two months left in the season, give or take a week. There are pickings to be had, potential call ups, temporary closer fill-ins for paternity leaves, the random Paul Dejong outburst that seems to Michael Myers itself back to life every single season. I would again argue on behalf of slim, because I did not even begin my argument in that last paragraph. You know, the type of guy who would tell you about their vasectomy appointment.

It’s a large frame that is as much part of my personality as my unique first name that I hide behind a paywall at BaseballHQ. Therefore, I’ve decided to compliment that the frame of my body supports the XL Tall Slim Fit shirt size, which really only applies to Bonobos. I mentioned it, so some vanity has been attached to this article, but I’m told I need to be more comfortable receiving compliments. I would argue on the behalf of slim, and not simply because of my XL Tall Slim shirt size. ![]() One reads another article explaining how you should spend your FAAB now, as the chances that a new closer or impact bat appearing on the wire is slim to none. Articles begin to appear talking about stretch runs, which is gross (Keep bathroom humor in the bathroom!). However, we begin to make moves as if MLB’s season ends in the next week. What I’m trying to say is that it may or may not be the dog days of summer.* Much like that lull that occurs at the beginning of the last quarter of any given school year, the time seems to stretch like taffy. I have been shrunken down in the dream, to give you proper context, and yes, Amy O’Neill is my girlfriend. It’s the dog days of summer, I think? I could look that up, but Google broke the other night, and I’ve been having a recurring nightmare about the AskJeeves butler tearing me to pieces using the lawnmower from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
