Further proof Springsteen can't throw

    Actually, Boom, he appears from the grip to be getting ready to bring a straight change.

    The splitty, it seems, failed to report for duty.

    Yes - I stand corrected. It dropped in front of plate like a splitty so that is etched in my mind. Grip is definately for change up. ( BTW great wiffle ball grip)

    I always went with the knuckler/knuckle curve combo in whiffle ball.

    Speedball sounds better in the song than Fastball would have, and Glory Days is one of the few tolerable Springsteen songs post-Darkness.

    You and Fenian can have at that.

    I'm not touching it with a ten-foot-pole.

    As Jesse The Body said when Macho Man Savaghe nailed Ricky Steamboat with the bell off the ring apron, "Whoa......"

    Well, we now know Twoback has no clue about Springsteen music.

    For that reason alone, I could've predicted that ol' Bruce threw like a girl.
     
  10. "Speedball" is stupid. The arrangement's half-finished. He uses that stupid tic of using "mister" to finish out the meter of a line, which is the biggest blight upon his songwriting. And the video makes him look like a doof.
    Other than that, I love the tune.

    Most of them are just a bunch of post-padding after the wife is asleep or while she's at work before I go to work (instead of doing housework).
