I started with The Bends.

It’s a fantastic alt-rock album, better than Pablo Honey, yet accessible. OK Computer twisted it and took it in a new direction that made it even more awesome. One of the greatest albums of all time kind of awesome.

The ball barely went over the wall, right down the LF? line… or something like that. It was shocking.

Oh, Huston. Really?

Kendall probably used his insider info from those years of catching Huston to figure out what pitch he was gonna throw… I mean, there had to be something fishy going on for Jason Kendall to hit a home run.
