While R downsizes his design project with a shovel…

October 25th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

As you might have noticed, R is having a bit of a rough day. Essentially, he’s eyeballs deep in a design project due in a couple of hours and, through no real fault of his own, blogging has slipped a few notches on the priority list.

R has promised to be back soon, but until then - and in honor of the World Series - here’s a classic SNL clip that sends up all that is wrong with Little League baseball.

I can laugh wholeheartedly here … even though my dad was, minus the alcohol, almost exactly like this at my youth soccer games. He was quite the, um, motivator.

    Did your dad ever yell, “I will tie you to a poll in a crawlspace!” at you? If not, he clearly didn’t care about your athletic future.

    I would describe my father’s outbursts as far less explicit but far more profanity-laden. Also, once he threw a chair onto the field to protest a referee’s call against me, which was pretty endearing, actually.

    This is good news, E. Everyone knows that if your father never threw a chair onto the pitch, diamond, court, etc. during one of your games, then he never really loved you.

    By this standard, my dad loves the shit out of me.

    … So you’re father was a Bobby Knight fan? No wonder you came to IU.
