Even a good outfielder can’t catch every ball. An outfielder running at full speed often runs into a wall and the wall, ever unyielding, wins every time.

A play on the term “showtime” and the premium channel “Showtime,” since DVR’s are used to record television shows.

It is of interest to note that Showtime HD does not allow recording on this editor’s U-Verse DVR in Greenville, SC. I feel that Big Sean is completely aware of this fact and is trying to clown on me… much like he later does to Drake.
