Four Bagger: Live by the Utley, die by the Utley

Posted on June 3, 2008 by Newspaperman

When is nine hits, nine runs, five homers and 14 RBIs a disappointment? When you own the player who produced them and his output was still not enough to help you win in one league, yet just enough to help your oppoent in another. Chase Utley had a spectacular week, but when it came down to it, he was not enough to keep me afloat in one league, and was the sole reason why I lost in another. What, were you expecting another Jay Bruce headline? Read more in this week’s FOUR BAGGER.

    So The Jon is still trying to figure out the Geto Boys reference. Does having Utley make your mind play tricks on you?
    Or is it the obscure live by the sword reference which doesn’t follow because the lyric was “i live by the sswwwword, I take my boys everywhere I go cause I’m paranoid.

    And what’s a headine?

    Don’t use Lucy Liu and the Rescue Rangers in your post and question my useage of the Geto Boys. …

    Don’t try to talk all tough, Little Boy Blue. The Jon will smack you in the mouth.

    Look, those videos make sense. The Geto Boys don’t. And even if it did, it is a stretch at best.

    Maybe I’ll go grab that Chase Utley video/audio tribute (kinda like the Justin Verlander thing you’ve posted) instead …

    And don’t tell me you weren’t entertained for five minutes with the Geto Boys … maybe it is a bit of a stretch (the song title is why I posted it) but it was entertaining in the least.

    Yeah the name of the song is Mind playing tricks on me … it doesn’t make sense. The only thing that should ever be used because it is entertaining is clowining on you.

    Do you really wanna hurt Chase?
    Or do you really wanna make me cry?
    Or is it really that you envy Chase?
    Or you don’t really wanna see me fly?
