Alien Ant Farm did a re-make of it in 2001
It was on the list of songs Clear Channel put out after the 9/11 attacks that stations might not want to play… other songs included “I Feel Safe in New York City” by AC/DC.
Glad to have been of service. _

Chris Davis
I think I speak for everyone when I say I sincerely hope this is the breakout we’ve all been waiting for. His hits went to all fields, he drew a walk in a late game important at bat, and played solid defense. Keep it up, man, keep it up.

yep
Im not convinced he’s figured out how to regain the ability to hit a hard fastball, but this certaintly has to be a huge boon to his confidence. I think the funk he’s been in would get to anyone, tonight might just rejuvenate him once again to snap out of it for good.

Yeah
I hope he has figured it out, but my one concern is still whether he can hit a 95+ fb
he had a monster game though
by Horns130 on Jun 26, 2009 2:20 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It looks like
according to Gameday he hit 2- 89 MPH 4 seamers, a 89 MPH sinker, and a 79 mph changeup.
He has hit hard fastballs last year, hopefully this outing shakes him loose. We could use a few hitters hitting.

His swing looked a ton smoother.
It didn’t look like he was jumping at the ball at the last second and overswinging.
by Redcaps on Jun 26, 2009 8:56 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The most important thing
I saw was the fact that he looked comfortable and confident at the plate…which is how he looked all season last year.
by ramjam36 on Jun 26, 2009 9:22 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
he kept his head down on every hit I saw
and the strikeout it looked to me like he pulled his head out. I think that’s the key for him

I still own him in three of four leagues. One is a dynasty, I drafted him in another (but got Reynolds off the waiver-wire, a godsend) and I picked him off the wire in another where I haven’t had a proper 3B all year, thanks to missing the draft.

Highly disappointed in myself
Fell asleep somewhere in the 10th or 11th, woke up in the 12th to see the Murphy jack and then fell back asleep comforted by the 3 run lead, then got up this morning to learn that I missed a Davis jack along the way.
Good win, and good night for the offense. All the starters get a hit, many of them timely and with runners on, Davis shows signs of breaking out, and Ian Freaking Kinsler draws two walks. Good stuff. The team (and us) desperately needed that.

Be interesting to see if Wash sits any of his regulars who played that entire game today – I just hope CD ain’t one of them.
