It's called meter and flow.
I wouldn’t expect you literary philistines to get my blogging.
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

I hope this doesn’t end in a tie. I hate ties. They’re like kissing your sister or something like that.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Anyone else remember when there used to be a 1 am AL curfew?
They used to actually send everyone home if the game was still going on at one in the morning. They’d finish it later.

this is the second time part of my post disappeared
that part was about Wrigley Field, which had to call games because of darkness. That’s because Mr Wrigley believed baseball should only be played during the day, so he refused to put the big lights in Wrigley Field.

How about:
each team sends out their best word geek, and whoever lasts the longest on Text Twist wins the game? Because obviously this whole baseball thing is never gonna end.
If that's the case, we should re-sign Hatte.

This game is irritating me
I’ve been watching for what seems like forever, and it’s been a pretty entertaining game. But I’m sick of it have shows on tape I wanted to watch. And the odds of the Rays winning before Papelbon is out seems low.
"Red Sox Nation"
If I never hear that phrase again it’ll be too soon.

Youk stands funny when he steps up to the plate.
Looks like he has to go to the bathroom but is trying to hold it in… yeah.
what's really interesting and cool
is the way he grips the bat. If you watch him, you can see he slides his right hand midway up the bat’s barrel.
Then he adjusts when the pitch is on the way, like most batters do. But still, one of the stranger starting positions I’ve ever seen.

You beat me to it
He isn’t exactly comforting to watch, is he?
