2002-08-17 | CROSBY, STILLS, NASH, YOUNG & SKIP

I'm watching a baseball game right now between the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies.

Earlier there was an e-mail trivia question from a viewer. His name was Neil Young. I believe he was asking what the difference was between a sacrifice bunt and a suicide squeeze.

After they answered his question, Don Sutton said "Keep on rocking, Neil Young". Skip Caray (son of Harry, father of Chip) said sarcastically: "I get it...I get that one". After a couple seconds, Don Sutton said "Crosby, Stills and Nash will have questions to follow".

I don't know how many of you follow Atlanta Braves baseball, but that was pretty hip for those two guys.

So the players union has set a strike date for August 30th. What this means, essentially, is that if there's no contract agreement between the owners and the players by August 30th, then the players will go on strike.

I don't really care that much. I will watch baseball when it comes back. I'll be waiting. But it would just suck if there was no World Series this year.

Something happens to me at least once a year. I make up something, then someone who's already famous comes up with the same thing a few months later. It's very discouraging. Like a couple years back, this baseball player came up with the Texas Rangers and his name was Gabe Kapler. Almost immediately, I came up with the nickname Gabe "Welcome Back" Kapler for him. Then like a month later Chris Berman was saying it.

A few years ago when the Major League Baseball umpires went on strike, for some reason I wrote a song about it. Well, I know the reason. I just wanted to make a play on words title. Then after I wrote the title, I had to write a song for it. The title of the song was "the Umpire Strikes Suck".

I know, it's not that funny. The song wasn't one of my best written anyway.
