Case against the Designated Hitter. Robin Ventura charged the mound after Nolan Ryan hit him with a pitch in 1993.

Knowing you don't have to face the opposing team's pitcher yourself probably makes you care less about hitting a batter.

Still pretty dumb of Ventura to end up in a headlock, though. Perhaps he shouldn't have dropped his bat.

Hey Cashmere, guess what? J Jill hasn't succumbed to the stupid no-waist trend. Lotsa good stuff. I am a little worried that I am no longer lusting after J Crew and am now looking at J Jill. Does this mean I am officially ready to turn 40 next year?

Attention all youth: do not take it for granted!

I have a pair of crappy linen capris from Old Navy, and when someone asked me if they were J Jill, I couldn't decide if I should be pleased or insulted!

Sara, your job is goofy.

WELCOME BACK, SUE!!

Jesse, J Jill makes quality stuff and is known for their linen look, right? I don't think it's an insult.

Sara, your job is goofy.

It's how we keep from flinging ourselves into the ravine.

I'm tired of digging around in the gigantaur purse I bought on vacation.

Should I be shot dead for considering a Purseket? Is it at the top of the aging-dork purchases?

Wow, I am having severe about-to-turn-40 anxieties today.

Oh, I know she was complimenting them, but I have a hard time getting past J Jill = For People Older Than Me.

WELCOME BACK, SUE!!

Thanks Jesse!

I should go to bed. I have had too little sleep all weekend.

For People Older Than Me.

I am realizing that that is my demographic, or pretty close to it.

CBC just did a little clip thing on Mark Spitz. Between the mustache and the Speedo, total porn star.

Oh, I know she was complimenting them, but I have a hard time getting past J Jill = For People Older Than Me.

Sigh. I know what you mean.
