Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges

Funny, as much air play as that song got I never really paid much attention to what he was singing (saying). I've only read the lyrics for the first time NOW!!! Got out really early from the factory Drivin' like a nut in the rain Don't think I was actin' so hysterically But I didn't see a thing until it came Met the dumb suburbs in the takeaway Beating up the Chinese at the counter I put a few inside me at the end of the day I took out my revenge on the revolution counter Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Into a brand new car In walks Bud with his exploding nose He's been giving it maximum today Shouted, How the devil, you in trouble, I suppose All you ever do is run away Gunned up the motor into hyperdrive I wasn't gonna take any of that Don't get bright ideas about a suicide 'Cause all I ever hear is, Zoom, bam, fantastic Crawlin' from the wreckage Crawlin' from the wreckage You'd think by now at least that half a brain would get the message Crawlin' from the wreckage Crawlin' from the wreckage Into a brand new car Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage Into a brand new car Nothin' seems to happen that ain't happened before I see it all through flashes of depression I drop my drink and hit some people runnin' for the door Gotta make some kind of impression 'Cause when I'm disconnected from the drivin' wheel I'm only half the man I should be Metal hitting metal is-a all I feel Everything is good as it poss-i-bul-ly could be

Unless we're speaking of different versions, "Crawling from the Wreckage" appeared on Dave Edmunds' Repeat When Necessary, which was produced Edmunds himself. Let's listen! [YOUTUBE]IPI8RHfL5UY[/YOUTUBE]

Escobar is a late scratch and there are rumbles that Brett Baty is about to get a callup.

kcmets Aug 16 2022 02:17 PM Re: IGT 08/16 - Mets at Braves - Back in the Saddle

[BLOCKQUOTE]Eduardo Escobar has been scratched from the Mets' starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Braves. There's no reason to panic just yet, but it's worth noting that Escobar just returned to the Mets' lineup on Monday following a two-game absence due to a minor left oblique issue. Hopefully the move is merely out of an abundance of caution. There should be some clarity on his status shortly. It'll be Deven Marrero taking over at third base on Tuesday night in his absence.

I was a big fan of that English Rockabilly crowd: Edmunds, Lowe, Parker, etc., a sub-genre that got criminally sidelined as AOR Rock Rafio slid downward towards Classice rock.



That particular song popped a few days ago for no reason at all. Hadn't heard it in years.

So this morning I hit upon the idea of the Crawking from the Wreckage IGT in honor of last night's mess but you beat me to it, so I just tacked it on.

MFS62 Aug 16 2022 03:33 PM Re: IGT 08/16 - Mets at Braves - Back in the Saddle

The Syracuse Mets are at Charlotte today. The Charlotte airport is one of the busiest airports in the country, is the hub of at least one major airline and has 115 gates (the most in the country). You'd think he could find a seat on a flight that gets him to Atlanta (another major hub) by some time in tonight's game. There must be a gazillion flights between the two airports daily. Hustle, kid. Later

For a chance to play in the majors, some minor leaguers would tell you they can run it in 6. Later

Three called third strikes on underwhelming fastballs in the second. Morton has the power to cloud men's minds.

Braves organist playing the 'Rocky & Bullwinkle' theme for McNeil. That's next-level stuff.

A wounded starter and bullpen backenders are what they are, but if none of that happens, they're still not going to win with three hits and no runs.
