addendum to wags



















is every wags a critic

That a way durwood



Durwood Merrill is number 33.
Jose Canseco is number 33.
Their union is brokered by an owl
in case you are wondering.

Durwood is not out
but he wrote a book called
You're Out and You're Ugly Too
in which he exchanges pleasantries
with both George W. Bush
and George G.W. Bush.

Dave Pallone however

is out
in The Man Behind the Mask
better known as the scab
who scratched Pete Rose
under his eyeball
in a rhubarb.

cheers



I went to a baseball tournament in the big valley
over labor day and took a few pictures.
The highlight of the tournament occurs saturday
nite when the Woodland MSBL hosts a steak barbecue
and puts on a home run derby and a raffle.

here's the steak i ate:


The field where they cook up over 100 steaks
on a trailer of sorts
guys use long pikes to turn the meat

and many ears of corn on the cob
and some big vats of iceberg lettuce
with some sauce is called Clark field.
Ladies wear gloves and 'stir the lettuce'

and put handfuls on your paper plate.

Clark field apparently is famous
as babe ruth barnstormed here
as well as Joe Dimaggio.


One guy on my team, Peetie,
won a bat and a gear bag at the raffle.
The Woodland High School cheerleading
squad volunteered their time and effort
to help with the raffle and
at the end of the evening
the squad was awarded
one (1) Wii game console
but they didn't know who to give it to
so they had a little home run derby
of their own to see who got the Wii.
There's a you tube video of the cheerleaders
taking hacks if you click the pick:
utube
They certainly swung the bat
better than I did.

Cansecrated Flag


Jose can you see
by the trunk's dimly light
what? a shotgun and 8 grams

the syringes are back at the club house
along with the reporters and Dave Henderson
still wondering why Oakland booed him
on Rickey day 20 years later

To be the last honest A
you'd have to be a church-going A
like Rajai
A-for-effort
A-for-José

At this spot in 1991, I met Reggie Jackson. I was trying to do tricks on my skateboard and he was trying to do tricks with a chocolate & nut covered frozen banana. My hands and face were dirty. We became fast friends and corresponded for many minutes. Somewhere along the way, we lost touch and I never heard from the yo-yo again.

Mt. Ararat--Adam Kennedy admits impediment.
A whole wheat product from Detroit
didn't start out nutritious--
for ak-mak, or the cracker.

Kurt Suzuki would probably let you decide.

Luckily for your family, who stranded five rice,
every beginning--
the staple food of the Chinese--
has corn.
Wheat resulted in a more-than-pretty finish
for the Armenians, Greeks, Romans,
and Holy Land people.

For nigh made the South American story-book
ending--
a 4500 year bean victory over Detroit.
All the more glorious were Kennedy and Suzuki,
along with the Biblical days of Rajai Davis,
who considered magic an important part
of the diet for 26,266 at the Coliseum.

In the ninth rice knotted at 2, Kennedy considered
Genesis 18:6, Genesis 42:1 and 2, and Genesis 43:11
to be a high protein wheat for his third peoples.
Rajai then squared off later than a minute
setting up what we at ak-mak turned out to be.
Suzuki--
the highest quality walk-off available
on the American market
and a hard-hit single without preservatives--
brought Kennedy high protein
on a close call at the plate.

socal import











Outfielder Scott Hairston, acquired from the Padres in mid-
season '09, is pursued by his new A's helmet, which he had
absent-mindedly left in the dugout on his way to the plate to bat.
In Oakland, part of the charm is the uni's.
In his first at-bat as
an Athletic, he plasters a 1-0
Josh Beckett fastball into the Fenway
Park seats above the green monster. Always wear your helmet.

balk



i was thinking the other day
as my ankle was hirting
and the idea of stealing second
seamed a little bit far fetched
why not try to get a good jump
and if it coincides with his pitch
i've got it stolen or if he waits and watches
i'm ready to stop the bluff & get back
and he might balk
as there is a runner on third
else if he tries to pick me off right then i'm toast small bet
i'm also thinking about getting thrown
out trying to steal second with a runner on third
in the first inning with one out
and there i don't care
i'm going to get a late jump
and hope i get thrown out cause
that is a run & it is early
but here in the 7th inning up by two
i would rather try and make him balk.
and he does.
that is weird.
