Howdy, folks! It’s only been a month since the Skipper made his picks for Comment of the Week. Is that MY fault, or is it YOU who have failed as commenters? You. It is you.
This Comment of the Week comes from blueslacker in this week’s Muskbox.
Woah, hang on. I don’t recall anybody saying they were going to do anything as dramatic as cowboy upping. Sure, they’re motivated. But “being motivated” is at least three Ecksteins below “cowboy upping” on the “Sportswriter Cliche-o-meter.” They haven’t even “determined to get back to basics” or “learned to play small ball” yet, and don’t even think about saying they’ve “manned up.”
Way to “dig down” for that comment, blueslacker! It takes a lot of “intestinal fortitude” to “rise above” the rest of the field, “play like a champion,” and “come out on top!”
As an addendum, it should also be noted that the big-boy pants remain hanging in the closet, and show no signs of being put on any time in the foreseeable future.
