Line drive right at the rays defender. The Yankees aren’t playing well enough fundamentally to absorb bad luck. Man, we just hit another Rays batter! We’re definitely ahead in hitting batsmen. |

Hey, a hit and run! Old time baseball by the Tampa Bay Leaves.

I figured you'd know the story Rizz. I was laughing my rearend off when I first read it. So bizarre, and what a sad ending for Toole. I recently thought more about it when my wife got a copy of Walker Percy's "Love In the Ruins." I just skimmed a bit of it, and it seemed rather prophetic. Well, back to the game. I was reading Love In The Ruins years ago but never finished it; I lost the book on vacation somewhere between my hotel room and the rental car. I’m a Walker Percy fan. Have you read The Moviegoer or The Second Coming? I read "The Moviegoer" a long time ago. He's a wonderful writer. I love Southern authors in general. Thomas Wolfe in college I thought was the Rosetta Stone to life. I toured his home in Asheville ages ago when his brother was giving them! Homages to Faulkner's home in lovely Oxford Mississippi and Flannery O'Connor in Savannah. James Agee was another I really liked. Eudora Welty. Just this past January we visited the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings near Gainesville. I need a return trip to Nawlins to see the Ignatius trail. Whatever that store was where he worked. Forgive the thread hijack. Maybe we need an American Lit thread. |

Ugh. No double play as the throw hits the runner.

King comes through. Maybe they should consider him for a starting role.
Nice stab by Gary in there to save a run.

You may be thinking of the DH Holmes department store on Canal Street, where Ignatius is waiting on his mother under the clock after purchasing a string for his lute. Alas, the store is now the Royal Sonesta Hotel, but there is a statue of Ignatius under the clock. |

Hmm. Maybe Frazier deserves his stepchild status.
