In honor of the greatest day of the year, Opening Day, I feel it is necessary to preemptively clear up some communication issues us baseball fans are likely to have with the rest of you. The following list of words and phrases are used when I am talking about baseball. I know this can be confusing so I thought I would put these out there for you now. Pitching: heat, cheese, slider, stuff, Junk, K, fan, hold it like an egg, rock & fire, throwing darts, throwing flames, Closing, Nasty, pulling the string, bringing the hammer, the high stinking Cheddar, chin music, brush back, back door, pay-off, etc. Hitting: liner, fly, bunt, swinging bunt, laser, screamer, taking, big fly, dinger, swat, bomb, would need a rocket up your ass to catch that one, gapper, seeing eye single, ground ball with eyes, dying quail, sweet spot, getting some chalk, hit em where they aint, in the basket (Wrigley exclusive), wiff, gnat killer, hat trick, wearing the old sombrero, taking one for the team, etc. General baseball speak: If I call you Meat, Nuke, Crash, Wild Thing, Rocket or Rollingardner I am just talking baseball. If I claim I am have a secret formula...it could be hot ice Its when you heat up the ice cubes...its the best of both worlds. If I lean in to you and tell you to Gooo Awwaaayyy, dont worry...just talking baseball. If I say I am going to church...baseball. These terms and phrases are not inclusive and I could go on all day. I just wanted you to understand that if you dont understand what I am talking about at any given time, A default assumption that I am talking about baseball will never fail you.
