Marcus's comeback this eve!!

After giving up a leadoff double Marcus put down the next 15 batters in order helping his team to a 5-0 win in a thunder/lightening/rain shortened 5 inning game. No walks and 6 strikeouts. And this was against the 1st place team in the other division. Also got 2 hits and an RBI at the plate. 59 pitches 39 for strikes! Only went full count on 1 batter. Probably his best outing this summer!

Back in the saddle again...

Geesh I had no idea there were so many versions!

Hate to say it but the only one i've ever heard of was Gene Autry! (of course I believe he used to own the Angels...............keeping this a baseball theme.)

For those of you that like to sing along

(chorus)
Im back
Im back in the saddle again
Im back
Im back in the saddle again

Ridin into town alone
By the light of the moon
Im looking for ol sukie jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
Thats when she caught my eye
Her tongue did give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
Im calling all the shots tonight
Im like a loaded gun
Peelin off my boots and chaps
Im saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounges drier than mine
Ill come when I get back

Im back in the saddle again
Im back
Im back in the saddle again
Im riding, Im loading up my pistol
Im riding, I really got a fistful
Im riding, Im shining up my saddle
Im riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(chorus)

Ridin high
Ridin high
Ridin high already

Don't you have to be on a horse to sing it?

Only if you sit backwards...

In other Baseball news...Steven Tyler (I believe) has sung the National Anthem at Fenway.
Perhaps he threw out the first pitch as well.

Beat,

I'm glad that Marcus has rebounded quite nicely.

Then it shoud be "I'm backwards in the saddle again"

Huge Aerosmith fan here. But, just to get a plug in for Gene's original:

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again


Very very well-done, Marcus. i have a friend who was very near-sighted right up into his 50s. He was playing golf one day, and a tee shot from the following party hit him squarely between the eyes. The next day, he threw away his glasses and hasn't missed them since. I'm just wondering whether Marcus could add a mild whack to his warmup routine. Just wonderin'.

Sam,

Today, one of those songs would be rated PG-13 and the other one would be rated R.

The phrase, "Totin' my old .44" is violent in nature and that rates Gene's version the R rating, according to the judges.

The judges decided that the phrase, "Im loading up my pistil" was a reference to gardening in general and to be specific, to flowers.
