Steve Melewski: A look at the O's lack of prospects listed by Baseball America
"Just four players from the O's organization were listed among the Baseball America top 20 prospects lists for each league in minor league baseball. One of the four came in a trade. That tied Oakland for last in all of baseball."
Steve Melewski: Jim Callis on Machado, Mahoney and more
"He [Joe Mahoney] had a nice year, but I don't think scouts are projecting him as a .300 hitter with plus power, like he did this year. He hit 18 home runs, which is a nice year, but you don't see him as guy that will hit 25 in the Majors. He is not a top prospect."

I generally like very tall boys
I don’t know why. Something about a tall boy. The current boy, however, is two (2) inches taller than me. And those of you who have met me know that I’m kind of a shorty. I mean, I’m not 4’11" or anything ;)

I always wanted to be just like, two inches taller
Because I feel like there are so many things that I JUST. CAN’T. REACH. Although I guess if I were taller there would be an entirely new set of things just out of my reach.
I usually wear pretty tall heels anyway to make up for it.

OK you know what!
Do you know how annoying it is to be THIS CLOSE to five feet for three stinking years?! It’s ridiculous.

Probably comparably annoying
to being male and 5’7", when tall (but not too tall) is one of the few physical preferences women hold almost universally…

nothing wrong with short guys
as long as they don’t have a complex about being short. Although given society I can understand why they would be.
I used to work with a guy who was a couple inches taller than me, and when we’d give briefings together he asked if I would please not wear my tall heels because he hates being shorter than a girl. I told him that he needs be comfortable with who he is, and then I wore the tallest heels I owned.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
Hahaha.
That’s a bit mean, but he’s definitely worrying too much if he’s asking you not to wear heels for a briefing at work. I think it’s understandable in a dating context, though.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
Yeah I'm friends with him and his wife
And when I told her that he asked me not to wear my tall heels she sighed and said, “I haven’t been able to wear heels in years.”
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
Hahaha, nice.
I would think that after a while, the guy would enjoy going out with his wife in heels, if only occasionally… but apparently not.

"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
Honestly, though, is it really a big deal?
Because the thing is I’m something of a shoe whore, and most of my shoes are heels. And to this point I’ve kind of avoided wearing them when going out with the guy since he’s not that tall, and it’s starting to make me sad looking in my closet at my lonely, pretty shoes.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I do like the idea of buying more shoes...
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
You could always wear the heels and see what he says

I'm confused.
Do you mean the one you’re dating, or the one at work?
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
dating
I don’t care about the one at work.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
Okay, good.
Yeah, it depends on whether they make you taller than him and by how much, on whether he’s self-conscious about his height and how much, etc. You could always just ask him — if it would bother him, he’d probably appreciate that you thought of it and asked first.
If you were to just try wearing heels, go conservative (not taller than him) at first, if possible. But keep in mind that he might not address it on his own even if it does bother him, because he probably already knows he needs to get over any height-related insecurities, and now he has the choice between (1) saying nothing and feeling awkward and uncomfortable, or (2) telling you he’s insecure about it, and appearing that much more so because he felt the need to bring it up.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
If you were to just try wearing heels, go conservative (not taller than him) at first,
What you need to start off with flats and add a 1/4" heel each time and see how long it takes him to notice. See if you can make it to 6" platform boots before he says something.
Hahahaha,
I was thinking that while I was writing.
One addendum: he probably won’t care at all if it just decreases the height difference, or even puts you eye-to-eye.

Oh man
Flip over to 1:08 and that’s how I feel right now.
I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.

maybe I'll ask him
but by asking him I worry it might seem like I think there’s a problem with his height, which I absolutely do not.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
That occurred to me, too.
I don’t think he’d take it that way, if you framed it as, “I really like wearing heels, but I don’t want to wear something that’ll make me taller than you and make you feel awkward.”
On the flip side, though, you’re right in that it if it would bother him, he may feel bad because there’s something you really like doing that you couldn’t really do with him (unless he gets over it, but that may not happen anytime soon). So yeah, it may cause an issue where there hasn’t been one.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
eh, I think I'll just stick to the flats
and save the heels for when I go out with my friends. Easier than dealing with it.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
lol, probably.
It’s the sort of thing that’s presumably a lot less of a big deal in a long-term relationship or marriage, but if you haven’t been dating for long, yeah, it’s probably easier to just avoid.

I’m barely taller than my gf. She’s slightly taller than me if she wears heels. As long as she’s not freakishly taller than me (like 6 inches or more), I’m fine with her wearing heels. But yeah, guys are weird about their height probably because we know girls have a heightened sensitivity about it.

Yeah,
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t care at all if it had no bearing on dating and such. Of course, it would probably help too if I’d had any success in that department. :P
I honestly don’t know how I’d react if a taller girl were interested, or if a girl I were dating liked wearing heels that had that effect. It’d be weird, but I imagine there would also be a bit of an ego boost if I could get used to it. (Dude with taller chick suggests he’s pretty awesome / she’s really into him. ;P)

Im way taller than my girlfriend
and she currently makes way more than me. If I had to change one thing of the 2, i’d make her taller. The money thing doesnt bother me at all, and it’s actually kinda nice, because for once in my life i’m not expected to pay for every single thing. Also, I like tall girls (as well as short and medium hieght girls, but really tall ones always intrigued me)

“I don’t like a really short guy”
Then she apologizes for saying the same things about tall guys. Us short guys never got an apology. I won’t stand for it, not even on a box to make me look slightly taller!
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
I meant I don't want to date a really short guy
Not that I don’t like them as friends. So if you want an apology: I’m sorry for the confusion. Short guys are awesome and nicer than tall guys.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
That's even worse
You’d give a guy the “I like you, but just as a friend” speech just ‘cause he’s short? That’s cold.

I guess I don’t plan to. But what else am I supposed to say? If I DO like him just as a friend, then am I supposed to lie OR risk losing our friendship anyway when I agree to go out with him and then we (potentially) break up?
It’s a lose-lose situation.

Just don't use the word like.
If you want to be friends, that’s OK. “Let’s just be friends.” Don’t talk about how you don’t want to ruin your friendship, don’t talk about how you like him “but not in that way” (even if this is the case). Just leave it there.
And most importantly, when you do date some other guy, don’t go complaining to the guy who you turned down because he was in the friend zone.

after that happens
he might start ignoring you and start dating some other girl. you will then find him strangely attractive. this is perfectly normal.

Oh I know.
I know that marrying your high school sweetheart and staying together is rare, but I commend those who manage to do it. I couldn’t handle it—inevitably going off the different colleges and drifting apart.
I’m not looking for a lifelong partner when I have a boyfriend in high school. High school relationships, to me, are about experience and fun and I like that.

It also probably has something to with my dad being insanely short
It would just make me feel weird to date an insanely short guy.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
I'm not saying go out of your way to date a midget
I’m just sayin’ if the guy’s 5’6-5’9", don’t assume he’s not dateable. Most guys will give you plenty of other reasons to not want to date them.

Can someone please talk to me about baseball? And also provide a more specific topic than “baseball?”
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I can do that
I spent a disastrously long amount of time thinking about first base in 2011 the other day, and I think the best answers are either:
Derrek Lee on a short contract
OR
move Luke to first, bring in a DH like Johnny Damon (this is my high preference, even though it’ll never happen).
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I prefer the same as you
I don’t like the idea of Derrek Lee at all. I’m not opposed in theory to signing him to a short contract, but I don’t know that it would happen. I feel like Lee knows this is his last payday, so if he takes a short contract it’ll be for a winner. To come to the O’s he might need more incentive, either in years or cash.
I personally think it’s a shame that Luke didn’t get more time at first base. He actually looks pretty athletic at the position and I think with more practice we’d know either way what he can do. Not to mention it would boost his trade value.
I wish that Adam Dunn would just give it up and realize he’s a DH.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
Counterpoint
Lee will be going into his age 35 season after his worst offensive year since 1999. His production suddenly dropped 41 runs (according to wRC on fangraphs). He could theoretically go the Adrian Beltre route and try to boost his value on a one year deal and get that last payday be bigger next year. This is especially true since his numbers didn’t drop this year but his (yes) BABiP did.
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
True, although Beltre took a one year deal at age 31
I think Lee is going to try his hardest to get a multi-year deal because he knows he’s near the end of the line.
What do you think of Konerko? I know he scorned us before and his big year might result in him getting overpaid, but I’d rather see him for a few years than Lee.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990

Now, what's the deal about signing more than one
Not that the Orioles would do that, god forbid. But our first round pick is protected due to the suck, so if we sign a Type A we lose the second round pick. If we sign another, do we lose the third round pick? If so, it makes sense to stock up with as many as possible in one year.
Ugh I gotta go to a meeting.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
you've got it
this really screwed over the blue jays two years ago when Burnett was a Type A and they got the Yankees third rounder because Burnett ranked behind Teixeira and Sabathia.

I thought I heard that the FA are somehow ranked
and the team losing the highest ranked FA gets the 2nd round pick. The other team(s) are then awarded compensatory picks at the end of the 1st round.
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." ~ The Dude
by PBR me ASAP! on Oct 14, 2010 10:03 AM EDT up reply actions
I hope I get this right.
FA are ranked, and then sorted into type A, type B, or neither. A team losing a type A or a type B gets a supplemental pick (between the first and second rounds, I think); that’s a new pick, not taken from any other team. In addition, a team losing a type A gets the first-round pick of the team who signs that FA (or their second-round pick, if their first-round pick is protected because they were in the bottom 15 teams, W-L record-wise).
A team that signs multiple type As loses its picks to teams in the order those FAs were ranked. So if you finish in the top 15 teams and sign two type As, you give your first-round pick to whichever team lost the higher-ranked FA, and your second-round pick to whichever team lost the lower-ranked FA.
All these picks depend on the team losing the FA either offering him arbitration and him turning it down, or the FA signing before December 1. If neither of those happen, no compensation picks.

that the O’s tell Luke to work out at 1B this offseason. I think Trembley just had some random bias against it, but I don’t see any reason why Luke couldn’t get good at it with more practice (and he’s been okay there even with next to none). Make it happen, Buck!

i still think the DH spot is in his future.
I think last year was just a fluke. Not sure I like his D enough to stick him in LF but I still love his patience and eye at the plate along with the chance he could be a power hitter in the majors.
we need a conductor
(or Joel McHale) to tell us when to stop playing.

yes, and it got old really quickly. (Okay, I still laugh at it, but others are sick of it.)

I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
It's really depressing looking at the list of free agents this year.
They can be broken into three categories:
Scrubs
Scrubs who used to play for the Orioles until we ran them out of town
Cliff Lee
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
that's not true
there aren’t any long term answers at any of our positions of need (except left field…just sayin’), but there are lots of guys who would make pretty strong upgrades around the diamond. The only question is do you want to get better but not compete in 2011, or do you want to see Brandon Snyder and Juan Uribe?
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I want to see Carl Crawford
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
that would be pretty brackin
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I know it's probably not going to happen
but I really want to sign Micah Owings for like 300K, stick him in Double A, give him a bat and tell him to pick a position. The man has sick career hitting numbers at the big league level, he’s only 28, and if he stops trying to convince himself that he’s a pitcher, I think he could do good things.
We could do a lot worse with 300K than give it to a guy with a career OPS of .861 in 198 plate appearances.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
it's pretty weird that nobody's done this yet
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
And yet...

I can’t let it go this week. I’m pissed about this “leak” that he’s coming back, but I’m just as pissed that his defenders are always some damn ju co hitting coaches who offer up this horseshit: "You idiots who want him gone don’t know what a hitting coach does. They don’t teach plate approach, they don’t teach patience, they work on how a batter should hold their mouth and adjust their junk before going down on an 0-2 slider in the dirt. It’s too intricate for you troglodytes to understand. Trust me: the Crow is one of the best." BASED UPON WHAT? Can anyone give me ONE measurable that indicates he’s a good hitting coach? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills…

I think Crow haters outnumber Crow fans on here at least 9-1.
And even the people who don’t want to see Crow fired immediately are more, “How much can a hitting coach really matter?” than any advocacy for Crow actually being a positive influence.
So if you’re crazy, so are we.

I really could not care less about who the coaches are except for the third base coach. And it is my experience that all third base coaches suck eggs.

Breaking: Andy MacPhail admits to being delusional.
“I think it helps because we were deluded before. Every year we had to start three teams up in the summer. It was unwieldy and diluted our talent up and down the system.”
(Yes, I know it’s just a typo. But it’s still funny.)

more worrisome
“We need to keep making that investment to keep it as plentiful as we can. This year is an example of not having a second-round pick and your first and third pick not signing until August 15th. So you really didn’t get much bang from this year’s draft in the system at all.
[…]
There are guys that had good years for us, that I’m surprised, Mahoney or someone like that, is not on a list. It may be a function of being in a couple of different leagues as well.”
These are a little too easy to snipe at, but come one, Andy.
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
Yeah,
he makes it sound like “not having a second-round pick” is just something that happened to us, rather than a choice he made. And I’d love for Mahoney to turn out well, sure, but Andy can’t really be surprised that he’s not on top prospect lists…

focusing on the positive
From the Melewski’s Jim Callis article above:
On the other hand, Callis raves about Manny Machado last June’s top draft pick by the Orioles:
“…..To call him the next A-Rod is ridiculous, but I do think Manny is going to be a special player. A guy who is an All-Star year in and year out….I think he is going to be a .300, 15 to 20 homer shortstop who plays a very solid defensive shortstop. Not only is he the best prospect in their organization, but he compares favorably with any shortstop prospect in the entire minor leagues. So, he’s one of the best prospects in the whole minor leagues.”

I wouldn't expect many people too
Its very indie hip-hop, and not particularly well known at that. I was really surprised when i heard it start playing at the stadium.
Yeah, they really sorta blew up in London for some reason
like 18 months ago they were playing tiny shows in like the Drexel gym.
Word of advice:
If you own a pair of shoes that has a smallish hole in the sole but seem seem totally fine to wear when its dry out, it does not mean you should wear them in the rain. This will quickly lead to your foot being very very wet.
I discovered a hole today by walking through a puddle. Sucks.

Do you know if they're actually in studio? WXPN is like 2 blocks from my apartment
though of course I’m in Wilmington right now.
that is my understanding
they’ll be performing live stuff. They’re not on air just yet, though. I think this is a two-hour program.
No Massive Attack yet
but they’ve had a pretty good mix of music so far. Looking forward to MGMT tomorrow too.
maybe our feeds are out of sync
because David Dye has been interviewing the some guy from massive attack for the past five minutes.
hm, strange
It’s apparently not actually on the wxpn stream right now. They’re apparently doing some seperate fundraiser thats preempting their usual schedule, but i would’ve thought their other regular programming just wouldn’t be recorded.
I always forget that the person who sings my favorite Massive Attack song
isn’t actually in Massive Attack

my friend still has a few magic decks laying around
and we play sometimes over a few beers. It’s a swamp creature deck vs a red direct damage deck, and we each win and lose at about the same rate.
Ok, first time through i definitely did not read that as dEcks.
And was very confused as to what you were talking about.
This also reminds me of one of the times in my life where I had a strong premonition that came true
I had a Rebel deck with Obi-Wan Kenobi in it. Obi-Wan was rare and worth like $50 and I was proud of him. Then one day this jackass that we only hung out with because he liked the same nerdy things my friends and I did broke into my locker and stole my deck. I was crushed, but I knew that if I walked over to the comic shop and bought a pack of star wars cards, I’d get Obi-Wan back.
And sure enough! He was there in the pack that I bought. I thought it was pretty cool.
that's awesome
i think my brother had that card. i had an IG-88 and a Chewbacca card though, and I thought that was way cooler.

So someone told me the other TA I work with currently has a google doc we put together up on a projector for a review session
I’m really tempted to start changing it on him from work.
Back to baseball
Frank Wren says Derrek Lee has and has had a torn ligament in his thumb and that the Braves don’t want him back. His still hit really, really well in his limited time in Atlanta.
Does this change anything for anybody?
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I could be interested in Lee for the right price
but i dont know what that price would be, and feel like it would be less than what he’ll ultimately get.
let me put it this way
where does he stand on your wishlist of first baseman, and does this news change that ranking?
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I'm not sure where he really stands
and without more, I’m not sure if this changes that much. I dont know enough about that injury in general to know how it might impact his future performance, or how serious it is. That Atlanta isn’t interested gives me pause. On one hand, they have the most recent close observation of him and if they dont want him back, I’m not sure we necessarily would want him either. On the other, thats one less team to compete with for his services, and may make the market for the other 1st base free agents more competive. Lee’s price in the market likely just dropped by some not-insignificant degree.
no, the braves are going with a rookie
which they were probably going to do anyway, since Freddie Freeman has some pretty solid AAA numbers.
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
So then the only change would be the news of the injury
and I don’t really know enough about that to have an opinion
well, you're no fun
it officially puts the braves out of any first basemen hunts barring further developments.
And for what its worth, Derrek Lee is number two on my list of desirables at first in 2011 (behind Luke Scott).
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
I mean i definitely think he should be under consideration
and so it sounds like he’s been playing with this injury all season, which could explain his decreased performance? So we’d be betting that the injury was the cause of the slump, the injury can heal fine, and that Derrek Lee with a good thumb would be like the Lee from previous seasons.
Thats a lot of ifs, but for the right price it could be a smart gamble. Then again, i’m a little wary about hoping for comeback seasons from 1st basemen after certain previous signings.
Well, let me preface by saying I agree that a Luke / Reimold solution should be the O's focus for 1st base....
but the apple of my off-season eye is still Adam Dunn, particularly if he ends up as a Type B FA. Of the crop of 1Bmen I would go 1) Lee 2) Pena 3) Cantu 4) Berkman 5) Huff.
I’d rather not see the O’s throw away another 2nd round pick in order to acquire Konerko.

All Along the Watchtower is infinitely better as done by Hendrix
and I might even connsider the DMB version over Dylan.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
The DMB version is good
But I’m biased. I love Bob Dylan. I’ve been a Dylan fan since I was five. His voice is so bad, but that’s the heart and soul of his music. I love the bad voice, and I don’t think anyone can beat that. That’s his thing, that’s what makes his songs Bob Dylan songs. Not to mention the genius of his lyrics.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Well he's a great writer
i’ll def. give him that. I like Dylan, I really do. I just remember the first time I heard Dylan’s version after having known Hendrix’s and being amazed that it didn’t compare at all (at least not in my ears).
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
He's a poet
One of the greatest lyricists in the history of music. I think Dylan is an acquired taste. You either like him or you don’t. I love him. I don’t care how bad his voice is…I love the charm and if there’s anything wrong in his music, the brilliance of his lyrics makes up for it. Plus, the greatest Jew in rock n’ roll history has to be Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan.
He can write a ballad or he can write the blues. Think of the emotion and heartbreak in “If You See Her, Say Hello.” Or the story in “Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts.” Or the transcendence of “Like a Rolling Stone.” They can’t be beat.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
The greatest Jew in rock n roll history
is, imo, Billy Joel. Dylan can be the greatest Jew in folk history. Joel is the whole deal though. Great voice, great lyricist, great musician, great story teller, and great entertainer.

I was not aware that Billy Joel was Jewish
So I recant my statement. Definitely agree on that note.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
You're right for all those reasons
AND I really like how transcedent most Billy Joel’s songs are. Like Dylan’s, but double the number and that’s how many songs by Billy Joel are still popular and beloved by young and old.
Piano Man…that’s the perfect ballad—just piano with Billy Joel’s amazing voice. I read about him on Wikipedia (I wanted to know if both his parents were Jewish) and from what I can gather Piano Man is a very personal song because he dropped out of high school and started singing in bars to get by. I think that’s a recipe for a perfect ballad—a sad, personal story.
Of course, you’ve got Uptown Girl. I never get tired of that song. Or Only The Good Die Young. Or Tell Her About It. I can name a bunch. Billy Joel is perfect for any mood.
I love Dylan, but I really have to be in the mood for a lot of his songs. Dylan’s songs are also very personal (the song I mentioned above, "If You See Her, Say Hello is about his wife leaving him), but in a different way.
Anyway, you’re right, I think Dylan is more folk-rock and Joel is really the best Jewish rocker in history. But not only the best Jew, he’s one of the greatest in history, Jew or non-Jew.
/end overly long explanation of how daveh is right
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Totally
Joel is one of the best all around performers in history (again, IMO). I just used the Jew thing because you brought it up for Dylan.
Also, Piano Man is mostly about a time where he flew out to CA and changed his name to William Martin (his middle name) after the immense drama went down following his 1st album (wiki that). He was playing in some dive bar and those were all real people. It’s a pretty cool story to hear in his words. Not so exciting in mine.

Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals are not something I expect you to like, duck
Some of the more modern musicals have less of a showy, cheesy feel to them. Spring Awakening infuses folk and rock. Some of the songs are soft ballads and others are alternative rock. Just listen to clips on iTunes. I think you’ll like Totally F**cked (that’s how it’s spelled, figure out the rest) and The Bitch of Living. They’re the two most rock-oriented songs on the soundtrack. They’re not heavy metal, but I have a feeling you’re a fan of alternative rock as well, right?

ohhh nooooooooooooo
we’ve all been there, friend. Here, let me regale you with pathetic stories from my past. Not once, but two distinct relationships (that weren’t even very long) took me over a year to get over.
Aw, that sucks dude

There are 3.2 BILLION more women out there
There’s a Mrs. kba26, you just haven’t found her yet. Hell, if I can find someone, there’s hope for everyone. I’m pretty sure Stacey thought I was lying about being married after actually meeting me until she met my wife a year later.

Theres more to it than that
Its not even really a breakup, it never got that far. But its reenforcing a trend that is at least worrisome at this point.
And I’m ilstening to Against Me! and enjoying it, thats how i’m drunk and depressed I am.
My sister listens to Against Me! when sober and happy, so you could be worse off.

Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight!
If we’re never together If I’m never back again
Well I swear to God that I’ll love you forever
Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight!

I’m sure everyone here has disturbing trends in their dating history.

I'm on my last glass of the bottle
its hard to think of much else at this point. That’s what last glasses are for.
It's April and you're Luke Scott
Pretty soon, it will be July, and you’ll be leading the CC in slugging.

At the moment Im feeling more like Garrett Atkins
You guys can hope for a rebound all you want, but its just never going to happen.
We have faith in you
and you’re not Garrett Atkins.
