Yours started first, but I think maybe we should leave the other one, to emphasize just how damn good that play was.

That was as good a throw as you're ever going to see. On the replay from the first base side you could see how the throw didn't lose any steam as it passed first base: it just kept on steaming to the plate. Freese isn't slow, and they still beat him fairly handily.

That was nice work, MM. Chuck, do you live close to the jungle? I've seen enough of Carpenter.

The jungle is really in the Darién province which borders Colombia. It is one of the least safe places in the hemisphere and when you pair that with my relative lack of enthusiasm for massive humidity, bugs, venomous snakes, prickly plants, man-eating animals and FARC guerillas I tend not to spend a lot of time there. I understand it is a fine place for a keen birdwatcher or I imagine anyone with a death wish.

I live 150 kilometers or so west of Panama City on the Pacific coast. It's relatively dry. Today we had clear blue skies which while unusual at this time of year is not unheard of. There is a central spine of mountains that separates our side from the Caribbean side. The peaks of those mountains are maybe 40 kilometers away, 25 miles or so. The land descending from the mountains is reasonably fertile and there is some agriculture although most of it in this area is subsistance rather than commercial. Fishing is pretty important where I am and I'm looking forward to October when the month-long shrimp fishing ban is lifted.

I hope so. He's been hitting well, too.

Turned out pretty well.  He plunked the cocksucker and still got him out.

Interesting. It sounds idyllic. How often do you have to come to the states?

Less and less. Initially I intended to spend about half my time here but the farther along I get the more time I want to spend here. I'll be in the States for the holidays and spring training but I'm realizing that other than those two periods there's not a hell of a lot of reason for me to be there. I find myself making a couple of quick trips here and there. I came up for a week or two in May I think it was and I have another lined up next month. I usually have some business and then take the opportunity to see family or whatever.

I'm curious how you first came to discover the place and decide it might be somewhere you would want to live.

Bad luck on that ball by Markakis: Gonzalez was on the line because of the runner on 1st and made the play on a hard-hit ball down the line. If he's in his normal spot that's a double.

Now Vlad the Impaler singles into LF. Runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out.

You know, I think I'm finally there.  I know I'm late to the party with some of you, but Berkman just continues to piss me off, over and over.  I can't point to anything specific that pisses me off, but it's something that won't go away.

Oh wait, I remember.  He's a fucking Cardinal.  Fuck em.

Wieters dribbles a ball out front of the plate, Papelbon and the catcher can't decide who should make the play, the catcher finally does and *just* gets Wieters (who runs like a catcher). Run scores, tying run moves to 2nd, 2 outs.

I'm curious how you first came to discover the place and decide it might be somewhere you would want to live.

The short answer is a friend of mine was using a realtor in the US whose husband is Panamanian. This fellow talked the country up quite a bit. I was aware of the country's advantages (relative safety, good economy, use of the US dollar [remains to be seen how advantageous that is], 20-year property tax exoneration, no hurricanes, few earthquakes, good infrastructure, easy to get to, very possible to gain residency etc.) but hearing about the place straight from the source as it were made me pay more attention. I came down a couple of times and had a good look around and realized I could fairly easily do what I do from here as well as anywhere else.

There are certainly negatives but on the whole it's a good place to live, for me at least. You know, the reasonable cost of and high quality of healthcare would be enough for many people to seriously investigate the country. I'm thinking seriously about getting my mother a retiree's residency in case Medicare goes away or is significantly altered. She's in good health now but will not always be and the more options the better.

Hap, the next time I'm in northern California I'll let you know and we'll work something out. I used to spend a ton of time there but haven't been is quite some time. I'll rectify that soon enough.
