Well, only problem was that the line was CLEARLY there when I had called it during that game. It was top of the 2nd inning, and the lines were almost as sharp as they were from the start of the game.

My initial reaction was, "oh cluck, I'm gonna HAVE to call this one...."

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.
