On 'American Experience' right now: Roberto Clemente
Sheer poetry on the field and a heart as big as baseball.

1. Since I was a kid, way before I could articulate it, I always sensed what
a wonderful guy he was. Thanks for sharing.

2. I Tivo'd it and I think I'll watch it tomorrow night...
I got angry at baseball tonight so I decided to sulk a little bit and play some Guitar Hero to make me feel better.

I'm looking forward to seeing it

5. The worst part about it was that I called exactly what would happen...
As soon as Heilman got into trouble I said to my dad, "he'll get two outs and possibly two outs with two strikes and then give up a 2 run single" and damn if that wasn't exactly what happened.

Blown leads from the bullpen are just a pet peeve of mine

6. We haven't had much chance for that lately
When we lose, we're usually giving up runs early. Lots of 'em. x(
