Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 29, 2022

He would have caught more but he became butter-fingered.

Those right-handed butterflies are easier in the outfield but infield butterflies don’t even have to be caught.

…I get the butterflies when I chase rainbows…

That looks like it could be a hoagie roll. What kind of bun and condiments do you recommend?

The Ty Cobb, Corn and The Butterfly. He had a deadly skill. Poke a dope.

“How to Catch Butterflies” by Annette Andajar

In the big leagues now.

Catching butterflies with a baseball glove is not kind to the butterfly, nor is it conducive to obtaining an undamaged specimen.

Reminds me of the Cleveland Indian, rookie Many Rameriz! The 1995 team!

He paid more attention to all the bugs and insects, than the game, in the outfield.

Is life like baseball (or like butterfly chasing), in that it’s mostly failure?

New initials for today: the SLS is the Scrubbed Launch System. (They’ll get that baby off the ground, I’m sure of it. Just not today.)

Babe Butterfly keep your glow on

There’s a show on you know

And they’re all gonna be there

Put the gleam back in your eyes

And don’t let ’em know that you care

Sensibly, old time butterflyball eventually evolved into pickleball …!

“There’s drive … into deep left fieldI It might be! It could be!

IT IS!!! … an argynnis pandora???

Sounds like my little league career

Joe Tinker?

Sweet Frogdom whispered in my ear

You catch butterflies

And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away

High away

Fly on by

—Frogtown John: Someone Caught Their Flight Tonight

Butterflies are such soft and easy outs for a fine fielder like him.

Of course, the butterflies did not agree, and they brought their complaint to Sister Teresa, who took this action, so chock-full of implicit monitory meaning….

Just don’t go chasing waterfalls…

…the only butterflies I ever got in baseball was when l cut my forehead sliding headfirst into third…

Catch 22 on the move,

In the web the man said.

should be chasing the painter that did the wall

When butter flies, it’s no time to waffle. Maple syrup sticky gloves jump for outs standing fields.

If I catch one, I will name him George.

Day 2. They flutter by and make my fielding average look bad!
