In, like, four episodes, it became my favorite show on TV.
The head of FX seemed really disappointed over the ratings too.
Yeah, I assumed the same thing.
But apparently the ratings were SO low…that even FX couldn’t renew it. Sigh.
But on the bright side outlets like TNT, FX, AMC et al
have given viewers solid shows that never would have seen the light of day on network TV.

Yes, I was making a joke.
Because it’s the bottom of the 8th now, so not a good time for Bailey. I’m assuming, of course, that he’s a lousy hitter.

And I already like him more than I liked the previous dude.
Bring back Hammer.
He's done some things strategically that I didn't love,
but when he talks about them his reasoning is always sound and well-thought out to where I can say, “Well I don’t agree, personally, but that makes sense.”
