three strikes, you're out - john (austin,tx)
You have the right to any opinion you like- but you have to love the Hold Steady. If you do not dig these guys… I’m afraid it is straightjacket time if you, know what I’m sayin'? Also you have to admire the kookiness of Manny Rameriez of the Boston Red Socks… this is coming from a guy (me) who could give a shit about sports most of the time… but Manny and his very large clothes make me happy. I gotta give it a playa who stirs things up- he is like a baseball playing Boba Fett.
I digress- check out this cover of Take Me Out To the Ball Game from America’s best bar band!
MP3: the Hold Steady- Take Me Out to the Ball Game 
Also check out the Hold Steady at Emo’s in Austin on the 8th and at Haily’s in Denton on the 9th. If I were a betting man I would call my Wells Fargo agent and tell him to place a bet on me getting drunk and singing along with Craig as obnoxious as the best of them. I wonder if banks can place bets…
Bonus track:

That picture looks simply awful. Did you make it with MSPaint?

I heard the baseball track on their myspace page and played it for a couple people in the office. One of my co-workers was flipping channels and saw the Local Live TV episode from when they played KVRX. I got my tickets at Waterloo last night for their show tomorrow.
