Our congratulations go out to the Kaneland baseball team on its 7-4 victory over Marian Central Catholic Wednesday at the Rochelle Class 3A Sectional.
The Knights scored six runs in the top of the seventh inning to erase a 3-1 deficit. Bobby Thorson's three-run homer was the big blow in the comeback.
But what was really amusing was the quote reporter Jim Owczarski got out of veteran Marian coach Gregg Wikierak.
"We left so many guys on base and we just didn't get the big hit," Wikierak said. "We put ourselves in a very good position to come out on top but the doors fell off in the end, whatever the saying is for that. It was kind of ugly."
The doors fell off? That reminds me of a certain commercial...
I always hate it when my door falls off like that.
This commercial is timeless. It has got to be one of the only spots made in the '80s that's still airing on a somewhat regular basis. I know that dude's car is a total piece of crap, but to only get $60 for it? They should've given him at least $100. :P You can tell this commercial is a fossil because $20 bills like the ones in it are a rarity these days.
Maybe back in 1985, $60 was considered a good deal for that pile of crap.
You gotta love the bracelets on the dude's wrist as he accepts the $60 payout.
