Hey now! I watched the last couple innings of that game too, and they made a valiant comeback, just like they did yesterday... only to lose... again.

Especially wachky considering the fan involved was the infamous "The Dawg" who has been a season ticket holder for nearly 30 years and should know better about reaching over the fence when a ball is in play! Bad Dawg!!! http://www.csncalifornia.com/video_content_type/authentic-fan-ashkon-and-dawg

I'm watching the game on MLB.TV. Looks like perfect weather as well. Where are you sitting? I'll look for you.

We had a President (not too long ago) who lied about cheating on his wife. Just saying.

You've got it made, man! Mother's day at the ballpark! Ha!!! Sounds like Father's day to me!!!

You should be able to sit pretty much anywhere you want to in Miami. Sad situation there. But do enjoy the game!

Happy birthday, Ari.

Thanks for those impressions, guys. Especially good to know you've found your way to the BHSE/SR009 goodness and glory, Todd. I'm now patiently waiting for the thread will get back off track.

Didn't realize that you could do that -- put a "hold" on a card. Makes good sense that this is an option. I'll have to keep that in mind. I've faced a similar situations from time to time, as I'm sure we all have. Freaky when you can't find a wallet.

I recommend that you stick with pastels. You look especially good in mauve.

He's in uniform on the bench tonight watching the game. Just unreal that he didn't get seriously injured. I think what saved him was that his head was at a pretty good angle relative to the direction the ball was travelling at, so it was more of a glancing blow than it appeared to be. I was thinking it would be really bad because the ball travelled half way down the right field line. No! It would have been really bad if the ball had dropped right in front of him!

He was so, so, lucky. Just a few inches in any direction, he could have lost an eye, had his nose and mouth destroyed, or even been killed with a direct hit to him temple. He's already given a press conference and is relaxed and coherent: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=26949285&source=MLB&c_id=mlb&tcid=facebook_embedded_player

Interesting halo around the sun today in Grand Cayman. http://www.cayman27.com.ky/2013/05/08/ring-around-the-sun

Look at that! Great job!

Happy birthday, Shelly!

The only info of any kind I can find on the internet about his condition, although completely unofficial, is at least encouraging: "I think the last indication was that he was alert and feeling better and had gone for a CT scan. That's the last I heard," Toronto pitcher R.A. Dickey said.

Please send your thoughts and prayers for J.A. Happ, pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, who took a hard hit line drive directly off of his head in tonight's game in Tampa. J.A. (who goes by "Jay") is from my home town area in Central Illinois, and went to the same high school that I did, although some 20 years later. I've followed his career very closely (hardly ever missing a single pitch he's thrown in the majors), so of course I was watching the game tonight on MLB.TV. Warning: it's not pretty... http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/5/7/4310406/j-a-happ-injury-blue-jays Watching this live was quite difficult for me. I sure hope this young man hasn't just suffered any life changing injuries. By all accounts he's a great guy and quite a humble gentleman.

Fitz, did Noah make it to the meet? Hope he's doing well. Tell him Santa said hi.

^ That one was just for fun. This one is seriously good, especially the last 3 and a half minutes.

Mostly the latter, but it did make me cringe when he described the 7/11 sandwich, much like it does when a flight attendant asks me if I want to purchase a 'headset' for $2.

Especially helpful when you've hanging out with 23 buddies, everyone is drinking the same brand of beer, and have simultaneously finished their last one and thus are thirsty for the next one... don't laugh, it happens!

Well done, sir.
