🎶 In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom 🎶 Dylan wrote these lines more than sixty years ago, and even then he knew he could count on his listeners to get the joke.

I remember reading someplace that **** Enberg stayed away from baseball announcing for years even though it was his favorite sport to call, precisely because his full plate with other sports meant that he wouldn't be able to do it on more than an occasional basis and baseball is the type of sport you have to be involved in regularly if you want to do it justice.

Looks like we won’t have Bob Costas to kick around anymore. I still think he was a genuinely great announcer when he was working with Kubek back in the day. http://amp.awfulannouncing.com/mlb/bob-costas-retires.html

I understand the William Ligues père et fils were interviewed about the two Yankee fans who tried to rip Mookie Betts’ arm off last night and were quoted as saying they were “amateurs”.

I have to get up early for jury duty tomorrow, so I’m hoping we don’t get another extra-inning dealie.
