What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

Yup. He’s our real pot of gold.

Now that would have been a good headline :)

At the risk of violating some rule or other – Thanks. You just “made my day,” Jon.

Hmm, I post this link hoping it’s not some huge violation of Jon’s rules.

The comments below the announcement are stunning – Philly fans in an uproar over it – one going as far as saying that Pierre is the only one on the team that can be counted on. Yes, Juan Pierre – the best player the Phillies have. Incredible.

What’s happening in Philly and Boston isn’t smart GMing – it’s straight-up implosion.
So sad.

Amazing photo.

I loved seeing the Scully clan assembled like that, and the pride Vinny showed toward his granddaughter singing the anthem made me tear right up.

A week after the trade, and I’m losing interest in this team. I tried but just couldn’t make myself watch the game last night. For me, it’s more about the players and less the name on the front of the jersey. Who are these guys? The chemistry is gone, and I don’t feel the same enthusiasm I felt earlier in the season, even when they were losing. I’d rather have something to root for than just high expectations. Is it just me?
Offseason signings are different. This kind of late-season roster turnover can have disatrous consequences.

Oh, I was waiting to see this photo. I was snapping away when that rainbow appeared, but of course couldn’t get Vin in the frame from my catbird seat up in the top deck! I knew SooHoo wouldn’t miss it (how could he, unless he was out sick?)

This just goes to show that even God is a die-hard baseball fan. How can a Dodger fan not smile at this photo? Or a fan of any team for that matter? Wow.
