Click
One day soon, but not soon enough, Weary of the vapid sitcoms And offensive commercials We will grab the clicker And summon the Grand Kabuki Of baseball. A jittery old pitcher Scuffing at the mound. A kid we don’t know, pinch-hitting For the first time in the majors. Mutual insecurities Banging up against each other. We will be transfixed by this duel between strangers And we will dump Carmelo chucking it up, And snowboarders, and bad movies, The stupidity of 800 channels. As my friend Ford writes, Sitting out the winter in coastal Virginia, Reading Blake, waiting for AA ball: Hang in there.

Had a wonderful time on the #NYTReadalong Sunday with Sree Sreenivasan and Neil Parekh, talking about the Super Bowl and the great paper where I used to work. Here’s the link to my fun time. Thanks to all the nice people who sent messages while I was babbling. The Readalong is Sunday, 8:30-10:15 AM Eastern, and the link is available after that:
