Otherwise, you have to be prepared to ride the lightning.
The freakshow in red got off lucky. One of the security crew had his taser drawn and at the ready. He must have been sympathetic to the plea: "Don't tase me, bro!"
Instead, the giant replica of a red blood cell simply got tripped up by Atlanta outfielder Matt Diaz, who must have been channeling a much kinder, much gentler former Baltimore Colt named Mike Curtis.
Nowadays, the unions don't want the players to get involved, which is too bad. Instead, you get the guys who are in about the same shape as me -- round -- running around in their canary yellow 'Event Staff' jackets chasing a guy down while reliving their high school football playing days, hoping for one clean shot at the guy.
And if they don't get it, they use their sidearm to jolt him back to reality.
Talk about keeping a guy grounded!
On with the predictions. Last week 17-6 (.739); season 47-18 (.723).
