So, we're all familiar with the lingo...I saw a spot on ESPN just now where they mentioned offhand how much baseball jargon has entered our vocabulary...so I'm gonna share and expound upon it. Here goes...who's familiar with:

Let's take a raincheck (for those rainy days).

How about: I got to first base...or second base, or third base...or for you dirty dogs who 'scored'

And uh oh, there's a pressure situation in your life, so: It's the bottom of the ninth, two outs, three balls, two strikes, your team is down...so you:

Swing for the fences!

And, as Taylor and I say when somebody says something stupid, and you could cut them down with a witty remark, but instead you: Let that pitch go by.

Hmm...I'm dry...coming up empty. I can't remember as much as I thought. If anybody else knows some more well-used baseball jargon, drop a remark.

AND NOW, I MUST GO AND PREPARE FOR TODAY'S 4PM GAME...my Bravos will decimate the Astros...I will not be available during the hours of 4pm-6pm or 7pm...so nobody have an emergency or anything.

OH, OH OHOHOHHHH...OH, OH OHOHOHHH...OH, OH OHOHOHHHH...OH, OH OHOHOHHHHHHH

[making the tomahawk motion repeatedly]

oh, oh ohohOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

we'll holla.
