It is a cool game bird, I like its looks. If I could animate my blog moniker, it would be a Foghorn Leghorn type fowl, throwing a spud at a rapid rate. Now that I think about it, thrown at hunters would be a hoot. How about you? Live Close? or just visited and know the area?

There can be only ONE song:
Breathe by Prodigy-

Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, youre the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Cool. Just made the guess because the word ‘chukar’ doesn’t show up much in contexts other than polo and, well, Idaho Falls.

Sun Valley is my home, although for the first 11 years I lived here it was in Sandpoint.

Thumb up not for political reasons, but for Idaho trivia knowledge. But I should expect that from someone representing Idaho Falls!

The Fall Guy theme

By: scatterbrian

Part of me wants to choose something so ridiculous that it throws off the pitcher. I’m dating myself here, but something like the theme to “Mr. Belvedere” or that song that always played at the Blue Oyster Bar in Police Academy.

Indeed. Well played Craig.

As for my songs, I’ve always had a couple. My favorite two though are:

Kasabian, “Underdog”
Carl Orff, “O Fortuna” (though maybe I should weigh more than 180 lbs. first before I use this song)

By: Andrew

Andrew — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:38:22 +0000

“COME ON!”

Don’t worry Craig, I didn’t miss this AD quote. Matt Capps had “The Final Countdown” as his song last year (at least while with the Twins) and a couple friends and I always thought of AD whenever he came out of the bullpen.

Well, if we use that theory, we could have the Inagaddadavida bridge come up while Beep-beep adjusts his batting gloves.

When Gary Sheffield was with the Yankees, he used “Move Bitch” by Ludacris as his walk-up…..that was epic…..

Not many Idaho boys in the Bigs, especially after Harmon passed, but Mather calls Sandpoint home. A veritable Eden. However, it is also the one-time home, and birthplace, if I am not mistaken of yes, the one and only, Sarah Palin.

I have another one…just heard Pearl Jam’s “Alive” and I would choose the guitar solo at the end and walk up to the plate and “play” along using the bat as the guitar through the entire two-and-a-half minute solo…make the pitcher wait!

Had to vote for craig, he had the only song out of the ones listed that i had voluntarily listened to. As far as the other songs go i think i may have heard one on a cell phone commercial or maybe a ring tone, likely would know them if i heard them. John smoltz and Trevor hoffman had some great music though coming in to save a game.

Joe Mather is one of my favorite braves, solely b/c his theme song is Zeppelin’s When the Levee Breaks and not some crappy rap song.
And I’ve been to enough braves games this year to see Joe Mather start a game

“sunday afternooner” huh? Imperial march rules all of the other picks.

My #1 “Battery” starting at the 1:25 mark.

If that doesn’t cause you to tear the cover off, not much will.
