Double Talkin’ Double Dream Hands
“It would be nice if my coauthor had similar intestinal fortitude when considering baseball orthodoxy.”
–Mr. Allen Krause, March 9, 2011
In the above quote my gruff and oft extraneous colleague, Mr. Krause (also pictured above), says a bunch of stuff without really saying a bunch of stuff. Like a politician jockeying for the attention of the masses, he assumes that by stuffing some multisyllabic extra-credit words in your face, that you will just trust he knows what he’s talking about, that you will quietly nod and accept his worldview even though it has no basis in reality (ironically, this is exactly what evangelicals are famous for, the very people Mr. Krause was thwarting all along).
POPPYCOCK!
For ye are the dear readers of RSBS – a vast realm of learned baseball folks who can’t be hoodwinked by a mere impostor of authority! We demand truth! We demand beauty! We demand beer!
In fact, you know what Mr. Krause does when he’s not writing about baseball, solving the world’s socio-political problems or pipedreaming about a World Series trophy among the rubble also known as the Motor City?
He’s busy bein’ a YouTube sensation, that’s what. Maybe you’ve seen this special performance of his…
Take it away, Al!
Yeah, it would be nice if my coauthor had the intestinal fortitude to eschew cliche bubble-gum lyrics and an equally horrifying jazz-hand infested dance routine, but hey, I’m not the boss of him.
So hate me. It’s cool. Just don’t hate me ‘cuz I’m right.
Peace,
Jeff

Miguel Cabrera has been in camp almost a week now without slurring his words or asking anyone “Do you know who I am!?!?!?!” Hot dog!!!

That video was just plain scary. Did you go on YouTube and do a search for “Dork?” I’m glad Cabrera is doing OK but wasn’t he supposed to go to rehab? Seems like an awfully quick recovery.

Behold the hidden dangers of Show Choir. Most are able to enjoy the experience recreationally in school and then move on to productive lives marked only by the occasional social use of jazz hands. Others, sadly, wind up chasing that glittery, bedazzled dragon for the rest of their lives with YouTube as their enabler.

Jane — Yeah… should make those late nights after games very interesting in Detroit.
Kristen — YouTube enables a lot more than just show choir… not that I know anything about that, of course
