Yeah… You’ve Seen It Here Before… But It’s STILL My FAVORITE BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPH EVER EVER EVER!!!

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

Every-Single-Time I See This Photo, I'm A Combo of HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY (because it's a great photo of a great moment with a personal-favorite-player) and SADSADSAD (because I miss Darrell). Still... That Combo DOES Remind Me Of How Powerful A Photograph Can Truly Be.

…I’m Rollin’ Along My Latest/Newest Series.

The Baseball Off-Season has Really Really Cut Into, what I consider, My MORE Interesting/Useful Material.

When Spring-Training 2012 Rolls Around…

…I’ll Be Back to Doin’ (about) 90’ish% Baseball-Bloggin’ings.

However…

That’s not until March, 2012.

So I’m Using Said Off-Season to Put Out (a few) “Other Bloggin’ings” to Tide-Us-ALL-Over. —

Yesterday (Veteran’s Day) was November 11, 2011.

11-11-11

Just Last Month…

Our ST. LOUIS CARDINALS…

 WON THEIR 11th WORLD TITLE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 

Therefore…

I’m Hittin’ Y’all With A Little Something Fresh.

If You’re a Fan Of “This Is Spinal Tap”…

…Then You Know...

…IF You Really LOVE Something…

10 Just Doesn’t Cut It.

I’m Pretty Damn Sure That’s What The Cardinals Did This Year.

They Turned THEIR-DIAL To 11.

And They Did It TWICE!

Yeah.

Exactly.

SO…

One CAN NOT View This as “Just a Bloggin’ing On A Certain-Date.”

For Cardinal Nation…

We Rolled 11 FIVE-TIMES and WON!

hehehe

Well…

Not Everyone Won.

Another Story For Another Time.

—- —-

ANYWAY! …

—- —-

Since The Debut Was Decent Enough…

…(NOT a “Pilot Episode” since THIS Series has Already Been Picked-Up)…

…you should trust me…

…I know the Boss…

…He doesn’t handle changes quite well…

…not when He likes doing something…

…so…

…yeah…

…You’re Fine…

…I Am Also.

I’m Showing You a Re-Cut Re-Run!

I’ve Never Done a Re-Run!

But Someone Told Me…

…“Good Play On The Timing Of the 11-11-11 things.“

Followed By…

“Too Bad It Only Lasts 24-Hours.”

Kinda-Clicked Real-Quick.

Afterward…

I Decided To Edit My Debut…

…and Make It a Re-Cut Re-Run!

I Like It.

Gives Me More Time To Work On NEW-NEW Material.

As Paw Would Say…

“That’ll Be Alright.”

— — —

SOOOOOOOOOO…

…Why Not Begin At MY Beginning…

…That I Share With A METRIC-BUTT-TON OF YOU (btw)!

The Kids of The Late 70’s…

…And THE 1980s…

…ALL OF THE 1980s…

…ARE Generally The General Core of My Readers…

…(mostly almost almost) Always Really Has Been…

…but I DO Try To Appeal To a Wider Range For The Most Part…

…THIS Was Just A Great Place To START.

PERIOD.
