Further proof Springsteen can't throw

As if the Glory Days video wasn't enough evidence that Springsteen has a poor throwing motion, there's this:

(I needed something different for my 500th post of the year)

 

And here I thought he was a five-tool player.

 

Can't be, Shot. If you have to dance in the dark instead of steal the base outright, probably lack speed, too.

 

Nettles got him, bottom of the ninth.

Then Nettles deflowered Julianne Phillips.

 

His lyrics tell us he can sure as hell hit and hit for power. Probably a decent fielder as well.

But lack of speed and lousy throwing motion could hurt Springsteen ... almost said "The Boss," but no references to the Yankee overlord should taint this.

 

To me, Glory Days was more proof that occasionally even Springsteen writes really terrible songs.

 

But Bruce invented a new pitch ... the "speedball."

 

We've actually -- and I truly can't believe I'm typing this -- had the "speedball" argument before.

Suffice to say, it's not wrong, but it sounds weird enough to throw people, and he could have easily changed it to "fastball" without fucking up the scansion.

So mock the line if you will, just with the knowledge that "speedball" was once common usage for a hard, straight pitch.

 

He's better than Tom Cruise in "War of the Worlds."

Which isn't a high standard, I know.

 

his throwing motion when he flips is guitar back to a roadie on stage is just fine, which is all i care about... 8) 8) 8)

 

500th post of the year?

Good god. Go on a date. Read a book. Step away from the computer.
