Loving it
No 11.00 dollars !
Bread, with no one allowed to eat it; circuses, with no one allowed to watch.
My, how far we have come.
What happens during the seventh inning stretch?
Will the music still play although no one is there to hear and clap? What is the sound of no hand clapping?
They gonna let the Oriole mascot dance on the dugouts?
They had tried earlier this morning to get it moved to National’s stadium in DC because the Nats were out of town. Apparently that didn’t happen......
John Denver still has to play Thank God I'm a Country Boy. It's the law... I think.
Aren’t they losing a lot of money doing this? No ticket sales, no concessions revenue from this game???
Take me out of the Ballpark,
Take me out of the crowd…
Can’t buy no peanuts or Crackerjack-
I don’t know when they’ll let the fans back.
So it’s “Loot, Loot, Loot” by the home-boys,
If they won’t stop, WE’RE to blame;
‘Cuz it’s “1, 2, 3 strikes – Yer out!”
Of the Old Ball Game ....
