rob deer's strat-o-matic baseball card

we were the baseball boys and still are.
we are the enemy of all kinds of girls.
it doesn't matter if you are prom queen,
vala dicktorian or wendy o' willaims wannabee.

you will hate us baseball boys
because we rob you of james dean and brad pitt
and val kilmer and stiv bators and jack nickolson
and every kind of guy you need.
we take him over to our loser friend's house
and we order pizza and drink bad beer and stink up the place
with cigarette smell and play 6 straight games of
strat-o-matic baseball on a friday night.

there will be no boning for you ladies...
not on this night anyway.

rob deer was a dream.
those straight homers at 2-8, 2-9, 2-10
and split homer/double at 3-6,
all of it against lefties.

it's partially irritating to hear that rob deer was hired by the cubs
to be their assistant hitting coach,
but then again
as much as he struck out
and as low as he batted with a not so amazing on base percentage,
the cubs can have him.

dale sveum remembers those late 1980's brewer's teams.
i think loyalty to friends helped create this new position,
this assistant hitting coach.
what the hell is that anyway?
