After careful analysis fueled by a desire to clean the slate before the NCAAT where I think we’ll accumulate even more highlights, I have narrowed down to 10 the top highlights of the season so far.
This was not easy as the Cardiac Commodore Kids have thrilled us since the opening weekend’s first walk-off HR by the new kid on the block, Riley Nelson. What a guy! Between then and yesterday’s total, complete, and devastating beatdown of the thugs in orange and their despicable coach there’s been plenty more that’s happened to make this one of the top fan favorite teams Corbs has every fielded. Not the most talented maybe, but certainly the easiest one to like.
Young guys, old guys, new guys, up-and-coming guys, big guys, little guys, gutsy guys, fast guys, not-as-fast guys, mouthy-guys, quiet-guys, long-haired guys, buzz-cut guys, even a balding guy (Rose), all led by the Yoda-like dad-we-all-wished-we-had-had-but-weren’t-so-lucky-even-though-many-of-us-had-great-dads [Father’s Day is just around the corner; may I suggest a nice pair of candlesticks as an appropriate gift? Scratch that, if you’re lucky enough to still have a dad or dad-like figure around just tell them you love them, I assure you that will plenty enough, especially for a guy who already has everything they need, unless, of course, you’ve yet to gift them the greatest gift of all — grandchildren!))
So here’s the top 10 so far. What did you enjoy most? Tell us why if you wish. If you really feel talkative, throw in a comment about when you first felt the momentum begin to build
But please vote, it’s a precious gift too many Americans take for granted and remember, if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain — them’s the rules.
Forget that, our forefathers didn’t give their lives defending our country without knowing we’d turn out to be the most complaining group of people in the history of the world, despite being the most fortunate group of people in the history of the world.
To make things a little easier for you to decide, you may select up to 3 choices.
This also helps wish-washy people who can never make their mind about anything, thus leading to a life of frustration and regret and second-guessing. I say, be a Man/Woman, stand up proudly for what you believe in and fear not the the slings and arrows that will come your way for having done so.
In short, be like Teddy Roosevelt’s man in the arena — quote redacted due to time constraints, there’s a game today — “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles…The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again” — that would be liddle Mike Bianco — “because there is no effort without error; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls” — that would be Vitello — “who neither know victory nor defeat.”
I’ll take that back, Vitello does no defeat — as in, lost 3 of 4 to Vandy and got drubbed yesterday like a punk trying to fight his way out of a wet paper bag; a total loser.
One final thing — if you don’t vote you don’t get to see the results. This, after all, is my poll and I have declared myself dictator. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, buddy.
