We're Talkin Hoooomer, Ozzie and the Straw

I can't even talk about the Blue Jays right now, so I will leave them out of this entry.  For my take on the Jays, please refer to the previous entry titled "How Frustrating the Jays Are!!"  If I was to write anymore about the Jays, it would definately take that same tone. 

If anyone was wondering where the name We're talkin Homer, Blue Jays and MLB came from, then keep wondering!  Just kidding.  It is from a Simpsons episode, where Homer plays on the Mr. Burn's Nuclear Power Plant Softball Team.  Homer begins the show by playing excellent for the team, with his wonderbat, that is reminissant from the Robert Redford film The Natural.  Towards the end, Mr. Burns buys Major Leaguers (e.g. Ken Griffey, Mike Scoscia, Steve Sax, Wade Boggs) to play for the team and win the championship.  However, funny and unfortunate mishaps befall all the players just before the game, with the exception of Darly Strawberry, the guy who plays Homer's position.  I won't ruin the ending, but if you haven't seen it, keep an eye out for that rerun.  Here is link to a song from the episode, with chorus line directly relating to the title of my blog, plus my last name is Homer.

Another cool song, that I came across playing "MLB 2008 The Show," is called Sweep the Leg by No More Kings.  The song takes you through scenes from the Karate Kid After playing that video game religiously for the past 2 months, I finally caught on and realized that the lyrics are about the Karate Kid movie.  Here is link to the video, so you can see what I am talking about.
