You will have seen by now the Facebook photos from last weekend that depict my childhood houses, school, park, and favorite comic book/drug store. This is a different set of Akron stories, for those who cannot get enough Akron stories! Little snippets of memory while they last. And their purpose is to name events and [...]

Saturday night we have all you can eat tickets (yes, all the tickets you can eat) on Cliff Lee Bobblehead Night—Indians vs. Tigers. The “faith part” is Jamey Carroll’s testimony at 5PM before batting practice. We hope to stop in Avon on the way for lunch where I have found a new Ohio location for [...]

Take a stroll to see what Justin has done with my old CSL site. We’re still tweaking, but it is looking quite tasteful. We also “own” this domain now: http://www.cslewisblog.com which takes you to Pseudobook, as all good little links should. I will also be revitalizing my beisbol site as well! Snowy, snowy day in [...]

“I feel like I’ve been traded to the Astros,” Lance Berkman said. “It’s a completely different team. It saddens me in a way. All those guys and what we’ve gone through the last couple of years, it creates a tight bond. It’s tough.” Ok, try this out in history: “I feel like I’ve been traded [...]

It’s Thanksgiving, so it is time to list the things I am thankful for. I did this majorly in 2005 but only indirectly in 2006. But I warn you that the list runs from the sublime to the ridiculous, so don’t be surprised if embarrassingly trivial as well as momentously important things appear in the [...]

And so the season has ended. Yes, I hope the Rockies beat that smirk off of Dustin Pedroia’s face, but I won’t be rushing for the remote at 8:23 or whenever it is that Fox lets the game start. This series was lost when C. C. couldn’t find the plate, pitched scared, and led his [...]

Yes, it’s true. Alaska is HOT. So hot, there are not one, but two movies opening up in Toledo, OH (Toledo!), set in Alaska. One in Barrow (30 Days of Night) and one in the “Alaskan outback” (Into the Wild). So, Toledo has Alaska-Fever! So, all to the good that Justin R. Edwards is working [...]

I don’t have time this morning to write everything I am thinking and feeling. But here are a few quips, motivated by last night’s game. (Which one? Hey, you don’t know me, then.) Baseball can bring you to tears, tears of joy or frustration, but beating the Yankees in NY is one event that will [...]

Baseball seasons should never end. But some careers must. And I suppose the best way to go out is to go out on one’s own terms. Craig Biggio played his last game for the Astros today, finishing an illustrious 20 year career with the same team. The same team! Most doubles as a right-handed hitter. [...]
