I don't really think it's cheating. Look, there's dirt all over the field. We try to "tidy up," but it gets knocked around. Until she's building a burial mound over the pitcher's plate, I've got nothing.

If you're absolutely certain that it's an IP, call it. That's how it always is: when you see it, call it. If you don't see it, you can't call it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
