    Was that Steve Bartman trying to get Trevor's double? \

    Is that a goat? Kinda looks like a lamb.

    My dear wife has found that although the comfort of a hot water bottle is comforting, and maybe nostalgic, an electric heating pad is the sh*t. (We have the thermostat set low in our house)

    I have a bunch of those foot warmer packets. Can I overnight them to you?

    Defense or offense?

    My story is story is similar. My interest in baseball really came from mom because mom always had the games on 'CCO. Herb was the voice of my youth. Dad didn't care for baseball. Mom grew up on a farm in Iowa that didn't have electricity until she was 13 years old. They must have followed the games in the paper. Her immigrant father was a Cardinals fan because he spent one summer working in a factory in St. Louis. Mom started out as Cleveland fan because of Bob Feller, of course. That all changed when Jackie broke in with the Dodgers. Iowa farm girl becomes a Brooklyn fan. Years later I was with my youngest at Cooperstown, and I was so pleased to report back to mom that Jackie Robinson's and Bob Feller's plaques were hanging next to each other in the Plaque Gallery.

    I was only marginally successful getting 2 of my 3 daughters interested in baseball. They gladly come to games with me, will pay attention when I'm at home listening to the game on the radio or watch episodes of Ken Burns' "Baseball" with me, but they don't really make time for baseball on their own. Hopefully the seed is planted, and they'll find the game. These two scamps are graduate students now.

    Is this the right context? "Ninjaed!"

    Not ordained myself, but in a past life I did doctoral work in historical theology. I consider myself an agnostic at worst, a lapsed believe at best. I think religion, and to a lesser degree, baseball, are suffering from a distrust in institutions. The church, government, media, public education are not trusted in the way they used to be 30 or 40 years ago. Some of this may be warranted, but the wholesale distrust of institutions really weakens the social fabric. Baseball is a different type off institution that doesn't suffer in the same way that other public institutions do, but when billionaires are arguing with millionaires, people tune out. Baseball used to be the national pastime. No longer, but there is still a hold that it has on our culture. People may not watch MLB, but there are still plenty of little league, townball baseball, and beer (and church!) softball teams. Do kids still play kickball? Baseball, with a big red ball. I think if you care about the game, you work within the realms of the cultural hold it has. Let MLB figure out their mess.

    I really, really wanted one of my girls to take up the accordion. The one who could be good at it is a grad student in geology. She has been playing the ukulele.
  19. snotboogie
    How about accordions?

    So happy that Rocco finally found a way to get Garlick into the game.
