You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

What is even happening?

You know, I don't actually know what a fluffer is or does. I see the term. I understand it enough in context not to ask. See me not asking. I'm just typing nervously, lest anyone think I was making inappropriate naming suggestions to Casper's grandmother.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

C'mon you Astros. How 'bout you get a run for Clemens for once. (Of course, Clemens is leading off, so it's in his own hands.)

They used relievers differently back then.

The concept of middle relief was still emerging. Back then a starter will throw 7 or 8 innings and a closer would throw 1 or 2. You were just starting to see the LHP brought out to face LH hitters in close-late situations.

OMG. Clemens is swinging for the fences. He wants to go home.

Ballgame. Just short of six hours.

The Braves had 18 LOB. That's not good.

Damn, Clemens just picked up Burke like he was a rag doll or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Roger Clemens is hitting? That's not right.

I mean, right?

He hit twice. Also, he hit all season. It's the National League. They still remember that the pitcher is supposed to bat.
