I think you can only hypothetically "play ball" in Deschutes County because they don't have any players or team sponsors. Or umpires. Other than that, they are all set though.
I don't really know anything about baseball, or grammar really. Wouldn't this be proper since it is making reference to the phrase used to start baseball games?
^ If it was a pun, people will often do something like that (though I posit that it's probably not a very good pun if you have to draw attention to that). In this case, they definitely are using "play ball" because it's what is said at the beginning of a baseball game, but they are also asking you to, literally, play ball.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

it's never just a game for Ron or Scott.
