Thanks for the memories, Gator.

]]> By: Old Gator http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/02/jayson-werth-2011-will-be-like-a-fart-in-the-wind/comment-page-1/#comment-277924 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:03:55 +0000 http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135041#comment-277924 Craig is also right about the poetry angle. It’s alive and well. Werth’s pronouncement ranks right up there with “This is no country for old men,” “She sang beyond the genius of the sea,” “I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,” “Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,” “Whan thet April with its shoores sote the drought of Marche hath perced to the rote” and “I sing of arms and the man.”

However, it doesn’t quite rise to the level of Rizzuto:

The Bridge
Two balls and a strike.
You know what they had on TV today, White?
Bridge on the River Kwai.
Everyone should have gotten an Academy Award for that movie.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it.
About forty times.
Alec Guinness!
William Holden!
Three and one the count.
I just heard somebody whistle.
You know that song?
That’s what they whistle.
Nobody out.
And he pops it up.

Now that’s poetry.
