My Walk Up Music

One of the more popular question is "If you played major league baseball what would be your walk-up music?" That's the music that's played before you come up to bat for the uninitiated.

I've always thought it would be great to have God Bless America by Kate Smith as my walk-up music just to mess with the crowd. I'd think it would be funny to see how many people reflexively stood up and removed their caps when it started to play.

For that very reason MLB would probably say, "No you can't have God Bless America as your walk-up music by Kate Smith or anyone else!"

If that was the case - I'd go with Carmina Burana. That would be pretty epic!

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I wonder if any of the Las Vegas sportsbooks will have a prop bet on whether Julian Edelman throws a pass in the Super Bowl? I'd throw a few dollars on "Yes" - just a hunch...  "Sin" originally meant "to miss the mark". Ask yourself what are you aiming for with your life? What is the mark you wish to hit? Maybe the real "sin" in the modern sense is aiming too low with your life... Someone should make a video of the accomplishments of the first 2-years of the Trump Administration with photos of President Trump set to the music of Carmina Burana. You would definitely get people watching two separate movies as Scott Adams likes to say... A "quantum leap" in general vernacular is used to denote a huge jump forward but shouldn't it be used to denote a tiny change instead? The quantum world itself is beyond microscopic... I'm a little surprised that Ed O'Neill is not in the cast of the new Deadwood movie. O'Neill was the original choice to play Swearengen and David Milch loved working with him on John from Cincinnati. Maybe O'Neill was unavailable?...  Cool - the library from Castlevania does exist. I've never seen Castlevania but I do love me some libraries... My name is Chris and I drink way too much during football season. Hi Chris!...
