Hi kids!
Welcome to the Uncle Bobo show!
Are you ready to sing?
Come on, let's go!
Billy and his family went on a holiday
They went down to Florida to laugh and dance and play
Bill went in for a swim, he didn't see the harm
But when he came back out again, he was short an arm
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy and his father went out to play some catch
But Billy missed the pass because his arm was unattached
The ball flew past his shoulder and it rolled into the swamp
When he went wading after it his leg became a stump
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy and his father joined a three-legged race
They were tearing up the field, no one could keep the pace
But Billy tripped and did a flip and landed in the muck
He was running out of limbs and also out of luck
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy was all dirty, he really had to wash
But he couldn't use a towel 'cause his limbs had been gnawed off
He went into the water to get all clean and bright
But when his bath was finished he was only half his height
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Billy's father rolled his wheelchair up upon a hill
He wanted to put Bill where he would not get killed
But he left him on a slope, and into the swamp he rolled
They dragged out his head but there was nothing left below
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp
Passing the time by ending children's lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp

if you’re going to post this, and I have no beef with that, can you at least put a title on it so it’s collapsable? Stuff like this showing up would get me fired post-haste.

I'm the kind of fan the M's covet

because I’ll still pay to go to games, like I’m doing Saturday night, but at this point I don’t feel the need to watch 9 innings of Mariner baseball every day all season long.

And it says something that I’d rather be working than watching the game. I’m not entirely sure what it says, but there we are.

I guess Squinty and the front office haven’t quite done the slow baserunners=bad defense that can’t get to balls correlation yet.

Are you okay JI?

There is a long history of crap fielding, good hitting 1B over the years. Especially before the DH came into existence.

Yes, Edgar’s career would have been shorter, but he would have been in the lineup because he was one of the best hitters of his era.
