better red than dread

I hear that Red Sox pitcher "Ladies Love Cool" Bronson Arroyo is playing songs from his new CD at Avalon sometime in July. Uh huh. Again, I say, uh huh.

And that got me thinking: If he suddenly, like, choked onstage, would Mike Timlin or Alan Embree come out from the wings, pick up the guitar, and finish the set?

Cause if so, that'd be awesome.

He'd at least need a closer for the encore...

And there's tickets on ticketmaster. $30 a ticket...

If there's still one there come payday I'm SO going...

if he choked onstage, as opposed to how he's been choking on the mound? heh. cute.

No--Alan Embree would come out from the wings, pick up the guitar, drop it, trip over it, and then hand it to Keith Foulke, who would give it to the Cleveland Indians.

HEE

You know, I think you're right.

Imagine Francona coming out to take him out of the concert because he was missing his chords...

brings whole new meaning to being sent back to the Minors...

but sometimes that's what you have to do when your ability is Diminished...

And if you really fuck up, you get Suspended...

[jmspencer.livejournal.com]

Yeah... cause unfortunately, time in the Minors didn't do much to Augment what Wade Miller had.

As long as he doesn't have a night like he did the other night... what with the Doubly-diminished Seventh.

Give it a rest!!

[jmspencer.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

I'm starting to feel somewhat rit.-ed

I see this post has struck a chord among some of you.

And here I was afraid it'd fall flat.

[jmspencer.livejournal.com]

Ah, you and your sharp wit.

[gismonda.livejournal.com]

It's only a measure of restraint that is keeping me from inviting you all to the bar and buying you a round.

[spatch]

I would've done that, but I dropped all my vodka. A real waste of four fifths.

[jmspencer.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and you have, officially, the best profile ever... at least some of the graphics you have in it

[eeka13.livejournal.com]

HEE thanks. They've all been shamelessly stolen from various sources.

My whole aim with my profile is to, with minimal effort, discourage the stray teens in my communities from thinking I'm 15 and "whatever"ing me, etc. It's generally worked pretty well.

cornroyo!

Tee hee hee!

i think i blogged about the running gag i have with dave (mom's hubby) about the artist formerly known as cornrroyo. if i haven't...

mom, dave and i were watching lost the same night as a game was on, and they were flipping back and forth between the show and the game. at one point my mother made the observation that, since arroyo grew out "that stupid haircut" (hee!), he looks an awful lot like dom "charlie" monaghan. my mom's husband, knowing that i know little about baseball, turned to me and said "just so you know, arroyo was never in driveshaft."

this has since become a massive inside joke. the day tickets went on sale, dave encouraged me to go and yell out a request for "you all everybody".

this is probably dumb and/or boring, so i'll shush now.

I think it's perfectly cute. The only thing you'd have to worry about is if B-Smoov shows up at his gig with a little ceramic Virgin Mary statue in his rucksack.

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

given his recent non-musical performances, he'd probably need it.
