Let's try the "Comeback Cockroach".

Plouffe approves...

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Hey Halsey...Plouffe just hit a dinger!

[Squirrel]

Why?

I'm sorry, but all this fake patriotism at baseball games kind of sickens me. Just my opinion. It's baseball, sing 'Take me out to the ballgame' and that be that.

[Hrbowski]

Duffy is gone.

I really hate the singing of 'God Bless America' at the 7th inning stretch. Hate it.

 

Me too. I hate pretty much all slacker-patriotism. 

 

Also, my feed just got to the song. Pretty excited to see what I assume will be a Plouffe home run. Woo, ****ty internet!

I'd prefer that they do away with it as well but at least this guy kept it at a nice tempo.

For a short time it was Lee Greenwood.

 

We take the small victories.

[Mike Sixel]

Agreed on god bless America. Really not a fan of that song being sung at baseball games.

[Hrbowski]

I wonder why people expect God to bless America when America doesn't call sin by what it is.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Too bad Tor-I-I wasn't playing RF on his own fly ball.

and the two balls went to almost exactly the same spot, which makes an interesting comparison. Torii's sac fly ball was hit a few feet longer maybe.

[Gibby]

 

 

  Sorry Chief, and anyone else that served, for having read the anti-America the Beautiful vitriol.

[Mauerpower]

If they can start the year 2-9 they'll be on pace to equal the same start as the 91 World Series champions

[70charger]

Hey, there's the home run!

[Bark's Lounge]

 

We need Bark to get really creative if we are going to make it through this season.

Mom, I'll do my best.

[Mill1634]

Wonder what Duffy said to the Ump after that homer?

[Halsey Hall]

Poof got a hit, just for me, and raised his average up to Torii's!

[JB_Iowa]

I actually like GBA when it is sung well and when they do the verse as well as the chorus.  But the use of the chorus in BB games -- often by mediocre singers -- has almost ruined the song for me.

 

The whole song is very meaningful when taken against the build-up to WW2 (or any war but that was the background.)

[Hrbowski]

 

Wonder what Duffy said to the Ump after that homer?

"That was a nice pitch."

[Squirrel]

Sorry Chief, and anyone else that served, for having read the anti-America the Beautiful vitriol.

Oh, please. America the Beautiful is a different song for one. For another, it's just self serving.

[Mill1634]

Bout time Moliter.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sorry Chief, and anyone else that served, for having read the anti-America the Beautiful vitriol.

If teams really feel they need something patriotic, I think America the Beautiful would be better than God Bless America (politically and aesthetically)

[Hrbowski]

Duensing just hit his buddy. Now it is slam time:(

[Mill1634]

Great showing Duensing. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Somehow this is only a 2-run deficit.

 

If we can get out of the top of the 8th inning you never know what happens.

[Hrbowski]

We are trying to start a brawl.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Woops take that back

[Halsey Hall]

Hello JR, welcome to the sacks jammed.

[Mill1634]

Was that not a foul ball? Isn't your hand part of the bat?

[Squirrel]

Kee-rap

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Beaning batters on the first pitch is just more efficient than drawing out a base on balls...
