Two of my favorite subjects: baseball and grammar

[Oeditpus Rex]

It's "home run."

Two words: "home" and "run."



Similarly, it's "fly ball" and it's "ground ball" and it's "double play."



A pitcher can get a "strikeout," but if a batter is a victim of one, he "struck out."



And it's "space bar."







G'hed. Throw at me.

1. "Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don't care if I never get back"?

There you go.

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Oh, yeah

It is, indeed, "Cracker Jack."

Not "Crackerjack" nor "Cracker Jacks."







And it's "hot dog."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. But that still doesn't account for the double negative in the same line. nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. I don't think that qualifies as a doublenegative

Oops. :D

[Ptah]

4. Zarilla slud into third!

Don't fail to miss tomorrow's game!

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. And they throwed him out!

[flvegan]

7. "Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."

[TZ]

8. This PSA sponsered by the letter B and the letter N

B for Baseball....and N for grammar Natsi!!:P

9. What if my spacebar is broken?

Or if I just feel like being ornery?

Homerun.

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Then switch back to ash

Stoopid maple space bars. x(

[Mutley]

12. I like, punctuation.

:silly:

[Dangerously Amused]

11. Aliens go to spacebars.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. You'll have to excuse me

I don't have the energy to 'shop up a pic of R2D2 saying "EPIC FAIL!"



:P

[NJmaverick]

14. I have two grammer questions

effect vs affect

to vs too

[pokerfan]

15. The batter flied out to center

Not flew out. That would require wings.

[GOPisEvil]

16. If I threw at you, that would be a bean ball.

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. If you threw at my head

Apparently, this, too, has been corrupted. I've heard kids say a batter was "beaned" when he took one on the arm or something.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. I shoulda stood in bed

go ahed, you can look it up............ :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. 'You don't play as hard when the other team is trying to'

"Our pitcher pitched lousy and balls commenced going over buildings."







Love ya, Case. :D
