The Village People performed after a Marlins game I attended in the 2009-11 time frame and I gotta say, America needs a Village People halftime show. Shit was wild.

My favorite part about being a sports fan when your team loses is trying to figure out how this is specifically YOUR fault. Bought the wrong postseason shirt? Didn't pick the right game beverage? Sat when you should've been pacing? Wrong wrong wrong... why couldn't you have been better?!

Billie Jean is still one of the dumbest songs ever written and I will never stop hating. "See that kid over there? He ain't mine. I'm gonna sing and moon walk about it." Sure.

I feel like Joseph Heller had their number back in the 60's in Catch-22 and I still think of this quote whenever I hear farm owners complaining about socialism or benefits or taxes. It was a short little aside but it stuck with me for like 25 years.

Major Major's father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. he was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism. He advocated thrift and hard work and disapproved of loose women who turned him down. His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county.

Major Major's father was an outspoken champion of economy in government, provided it did not interfere with the sacred duty of government to pay farmers as much as they could get for all the alfalfa they produced that no one else wanted or for not producing any alfalfa at all. He was a proud and independent man who was opposed to unemployment insurance and never hesitated to whine, whimper, wheedle and extort for as much as he could get from whomever he could.

If Ronny Cedeno were still in the league, he would absolutely be the first player to do this.

Using an opener in a playoff game is an affront to the baseball gods. If the Cubs get smoked today, they deserve it.

Meetings prevented me from achieving full playoff mode today, but I'll take it. Do it again tomorrow. #Cubs #FlyTheW
