Disorder in the house, there's a flying in the system

And the flying, the horn when the storm bring the whole thing down

The flag gates are open, we've left the team, let us lose

The big guns are spoken, and we're falling for the rules

Hello Mick

Hello

Do you ever dream about articles, whether it's articles that you want to write or articles you want to assign or any other kind of content you want to create?

Oh yeah, oh yeah, sure do

Yeah, okay, yeah, I don't often or at least if I do, I don't remember, because as I've mentioned I very rarely remember dreams

But I had one this weekend where I dreamed that I was watching a baseball game, so that should have been a tip off right there

That it was a dream

And I think the Yankees were playing, but some of the details are foggy

But all I remember is that the pivotal play came when the third basement moved toward the shortstop

And they kind of collided because there was a ball on the infield and the third basement was playing too far over

And so he kind of got in the shortstop way and they tripped each other up and a run scored and that was the end of the game

And I remembered my dream self, remembered seeing a previous game in that same dream season

Where the same thing had happened and I thought oh this must mean something and I thought oh that third basement used to be a shortstop

So I bet if you have a former shortstop playing third base I bet they play too far over

I bet they play closer to the shortstop position because that's where they're used to standing
