   I hereby nominate “Not Even Bloomquist Can…” as a new USSM meme.

   Not even Bloomquist can write headlines that funny.

   You know you’ve got a winning link when you can just present it without comment and let the title speak for itself.

   Well maybe if WFB started everyday he could do something to get out of this slump, behold his awesome power.

   I’ve been trying to come up with some equivalents:

   Not Even Scheffler Can Rally Sonics
   Not Even “Hello, Larry” Can Improve NBC Ratings
   Not Even Dick Cheney Can Increase Bush’s Approval Rating
   Not Even Sound Transit Can Get Light Rail Finished

    If you want to feel better today, do NOT watch M’s castoff Jorge Campillo on ESPN, shutting down the Angels’ lineup over five innings (so far).

    Uh …. never mind.

    Not even Sexson could hit that slider in the dirt.
    Not even Steve Kelley could make the Times readable.

    11: Lucky HR. The RF wasn’t hussling and probably should have gotten there.

    While making it no less humorous, he is from Kitsap Co….

    Not even Joe Morgan can improve the commentary on ESPN baseball broadcasts.

16. PaulMolitorCocktail on June 15th, 2008 8:08 pm

    Not even Dave Grozby can pull KJR ratings up.

    I believe we get that Campillo/Bedard throw-down that every one has been craving on Friday …

    So there’s a Calexico song called “Not Even Stevie Nicks…” (from their awesome “Feast of Wire” album, highly recommended). The lyrics go:

    With a head like a vulture
    And heart full of hornets
    He drives off the cliff
    And into the blue
    Not even the priestess
    With her wrenches and
    Secret powers
    Could save him
    From danger
    For a little while
    Not even she
    Could save him

    I never understood that song before, but… is that not Wilie? Isn’t Caprice the goddess of chance? Don’t those first four lines perfectly describe the life of a gritty pinch runner? Or a guy facing free agency who wants to go to the National League?

    Not Even Tara Reid could make “Alone in the Dark” a decent movie.

    Not even the eruption of Mt. St. Helens could help Harry Truman live to 100.

    Weird, they must have changed the headline.
