Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 22, 2014

It is nice of Echo to throw her ball back to save him. :-)

Echo did a switch. She threw the ball she caught, not Norm’s.

Hate drunk jerks.

If that ain’t love, I don’t know what is,

Birdie’s gotta be right.

Now run those drunkards up the foul pole.

Security!

I wouldn’t be so cool. I’d get up and go home with my ball. And if I can locate stadium police, press charges against the drunks who are threatening my life.

Let’s see how they feel after spending a night in jail.

The only thing worse than a drunken jock is an over-the-hill drunken jock wannabe.

This is Dodger Stadium. Drunken jerks may get what they deserve (a year later) but you still end up in the hospital.

I went to a minor league game last night . . . Sugar Land Skeeters vs. Maryland Blue Crabs. Skeeters won 3-0. Two homers in the bottom of the eighth with no one on (and a double to bring in another run) so two people got home run balls. Both people were jumping around waving their new souvenirs.

Minor league games are a lot more fun to watch than MLB games.

At least one of them has a working brain…

Nice job of someone earlier in the week to call it correctly.

KTB called it first.

Just to be sure, but is Echo Norma?

Sort of like what’s happening in Ferguson. Giving in to the mob is always a problem.

Wednesday night, at Durham Bulls, same thing, Retired Dude. Three generations of us had a good time and the home team won in the bottom of the ninth. It is a great way to spend a summer evening! And security would have stopped this sort of thing if it had started, but it wouldn’t have.

Forgive my ignorance, as I don’t follow sports much anymore, but is this some unwritten rule or courtesy to the home team that one isn’t supposed to keep the balls (home run balls anyway) hit by the other team? If so, that sucks! Also, after all this time has past, wouldn’t an extra ball on the field – even if it is the far outfield – be some sort of hazard or violation, requiring that the game be stopped? Not much different than when jerks throw beer cans or other debris onto the field.

Oops, I meant “passed”, not “past” in my fourth line.

Wait for it…
