Samwise Gamgee game thread intro: There is this one point in Two Towers where Sam and Frodo are resting on the stairs up to Cirith Ungol in a dark and dismal land and their conversation is about the epic tales and how the folk in them have no idea how they'll turn out, they just keep on going. I can't think what in this season might have brought that moment to mind... But in it Frodo jokes about wanting to hear more of what Sam says, as it makes him laugh. That brings me straight to a game thread intro... So... to run with a theme, Buxton and Sano are off enjoying ent draughts that will curl their hair, and we have the unexpected help of Faramir... er, i mean Fernando Romero. But currently it is a hard climb back up, and who knows what arachnid baseball team might be at the top of it all... What all heartwarming cheerful down to earth good humour things y'all got to say to keep our flagging spirits up? Blue Jays of Toronto Marcus Stroman ( R) 1. Curtis Granderson (L) LF 2.
