  1. Thanks for all your best wishes. I've decided to stop counting from here on in.
  2. Happy B-Day, Trebs!!
  3. Personnally, I do not believe that content warnings are a licence for the author to produce chapter after chapter of gratuitous violence. In my view, readers were more than justified in confronting the author with this fact. In the thread for this story, the author actually requests her readers to suspend reality.

  10. One exception might be dialogue which is often culture based and riddled with cliches. Thanks, I enjoyed this article.

  17. Considering the talent (especially pitching) the Blue Jays brought in during the off season, they have had the most dismal season. However, they have won 7 in a row , including a 4-game sweep of the Rangers. I best enjoy it while I can. What changed? I don't know. As Dave says, "That's baseball."
  18. Happy B-Day, Stuby!!
  19. So here's a tongue-in-cheek question! Last week, the Blue Jays and Rays split a 4-game series in Tampa Bay. The Rays won game 4 in the 10th when the Toronto pitcher walked the batter with the bases loaded. Can we call that a walk-off walk?
  20. Happy B-Day, Mark!!

    Chapter 41

    Beautiful story, exceptionally told!! Thank you so much.
  22. Exciting ending to the Giants - Cubs game today (in Chicago). Cubs were leading 2-0 coming into the ninth. The Giants scored 3 in the top of the inning. Sergio Romo, the Giants closer, comes in to pitch the bottom. Cub fans are thinking their usual bad thoughts. Romo blows it as the Cubs score 2 and win.
  23. Vince Scully did the play-by-play for last night's Dodger game. He's in his 64th season as the sportscaster for the Dodgers. He's 85. He started in 1950; the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn. Now apparently he doesn't do all the games anymore....but still. I think I can safely say he enjoys his work. Anyway, Scully told an interesting story about last night's Dodgers starting pitcher, Hyun-Jin Ryu (South Korea). He pitches left-handed, but he's actually right-handed. He writes and eats with his right hand. When he was a kid, his father mistakingly (at least I'm thinking it was in error) bought him a right-handed glove. So, yeah, he learned how to pitch left-handed. Very odd. Last night's game was his major league debut. He came to the Dodgers on the posting system.
  24. I am definitely happy that baseball is back. Being Canadian, my hopes are for the Blue Jays, but I'll watch any team anytime. Toronto fans have big expectations this year, for obvious reasons. We lost the season opener last night to the Indians. It's not great having a good knuckleballer (RA Dickey) if you don't have a player who can catch it.. Three passed balls in last night's game. Anyways, we'll go at it again tonight. I also caught the Giants - Dodgers game last night. Madison Bumgarner pitched a great game - like a 3-hitter. While I was watching the Giants-Dodgers game, all of a sudden my tv screen was full of Yu Darvish of the Rangers pitching in the 9th inning with one out. I quickly surmised, thanks to the announcer, that Darvish was pitching a perfect game. I guess my network decided this was important - definitely a good call. Darvish got the second out but, unfortunately, the next batter got a hit. I wanted to cry for Darvish but I was all cried out from watching the Jays earlier.
  25. That's the best cliffie I've seen in a long time! I was wondering whether Lance and Sam would reconcile at some point. Now I'm wondering if Lance is even redeemable. Talk about bitter and twisted. I'm now more curious about what you have in store for this jerk. Great action in that chapter!
