Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Awesome.

Schreefer's shoulder via Loren Eisely by way of Tom Hulce in Animal House. Or something like that.  Fucking brilliant.

Sorry to see your interest die, though I get it.  Maybe mine will be buried somewhere near yours, in a lonely corner of Drayton McLane's backyard.

If this is the last preview, let me say - seriously - thank you. I have spent many moments over the years laughing out loud at your efforts here, and I am grateful for it.

Limey: I have missed your pointed, pithy quips about the ball club this season. That has disappointed me even more than the Astros. I too want to thank you for all of the years of laughs that you have provided to me and to countless others. I can tell you that during my darkest, darkest days, I always could count on a belly laugh or three, often emanating from your work, that made my life bearable. Honestly, you've had a significant impact on my life and no doubt the lives of many of us. I can't say that I blame you, but I encourage you to take a little more time away from the team. However, don't give up the ship for ever. AL or not, FYB or not, the Astros will endure. Forever. I want you there with us.

I appreciate the kind words.

Always enjoy the previews...it will be a shame if this is the last of them.

Nice work.

Limey, there is no emoticon for what I feel now.  The DH league is shitty enough without your scintillating commentary (and masturbation jokes)!
