Hey Friend, Here Is Some Baseball And Poetry To Tide You Over
It’s Wednesday morning. Baseball still owes you at least three more innings of baseball this season. Waiting is hard, so in the stead of the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays, I present to you an animated collection of some of the most notable baseball moments of our young lifetimes. Special thanks to the Progressive Boink forums.

And when there’s nothing to want
When we’re all brilliant and fast
When all tomorrows are gone
There will be teeth in the grass
- “Teeth in the Grass,” Iron & Wine

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s
Hard earned pay
- “Two of Us,” The Beatles

Hyah!
Step up, boy!
Represent!
Chop his head off, kid!
- “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F*** Wit,” Wu-Tang Clan

The body’s not secure,
the truth will not absorb,
and this crumbling apart,
is no good for you at all…
- “Caution for the Birds,” The Frames

Well I know Karate, Voodoo too
I’m gonna make myself available to you
I don’t need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
- “Goin’ Out West,” Tom Waits

Here’s the man
With teeth like God’s shoeshine
He sparkles, shimmers, shines.
- “Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine,” Modest Mouse

I’m going hunting
I’m the [Torii] hunter, I’m the hunter
I’m going hunting
I’m the hunter Ooooohhh… I’m the hunter
I’m the hunter Ooooohhh… I’m the hunter
I’m … the … hunter…
Ooooohhh… Ooooohhh… Ooooohhh… Ooooohhh…
- “Hunter,” Bjork

To the green horned chicken hoppers I say
“Get yourself a trade,
Or go hack to the chat room and fade in the shade”
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw
- “Rub Me Raw,” Warren Zevon
