Title: Angels @ Astros Series Preview
Post by: Ebby Calvin on June 28, 2013, 10:02:41 am
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder, should I get up and fix myself a drink? (http://www.spikesnstars.com/2013/06/28/angels-astros-series-preview/)

How mysterious.  I read it twice, and once backwards, and I'm still baffled.  I hate Puget Sound.

Your writing isn't too shabby either, Coach.

Nice work Eb. I can hear a song.
Morphine style or maybe Talking Heads.
I slept, I splashed, I shuffled, I shut.
 I met the man from Killeen

I'm pinch-hitting one of these things in a few weeks, and I'm starting to get nervous. Nice job, Ebby.

I don't know what the hell it meant, but I liked it.

I'm a little suspicious of his conviction that the people he was dealing with were actually men. Having just been in Seattle myself I will say that a good 30% of the time I had no idea whether a given person was a man or a woman or what.

Dude, its not that difficult... Seattle (and Portland) women are the ones with hairy legs and pits - if the person has shaved legs and pits, its definitely a guy...

That sounds about right. There were many times where I realized that someone was a woman (or a what) only because she was coupled up with a butchy dykey looking chick. I would be like, That's weird, a goofy looking dude hanging out with an angry lesbian... oh, wait.

These things are supposed to mean something?  It's bad enough they have to be entirely about baseball.

Thanks for all of the kind words. It was a fun night.

You know you don't need to track down a dude from Killeen for that, no?!? After all, its perfectly legal now in Washington state...

You'll do just fine. I wrote my first one earlier this season.

Excellent work, as always. As others have said, the level and sophistication these Series Previews have recently risen to is both a little startling, and exhilarating. And a bit scary, too; if one has to write one oneself pretty soon.

I really appreciate the effort. And I'd like to take credit for it somehow, but that would be total bullshit.

So, you know, I think I will.

I have to write the next one.  I think I'm going to cut and paste something from 1999.

That was excellent, Ebby.  Sounds like a very nice sunset.
