It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary Show is on the air. We got a nice message from Larry Dirker after we finished our conversation.

We ran out of time.

He said, remind me again to talk to you about putting Billy Wagner at risk as the runner on a squeeze play.

Ouch. Can you imagine? And forcing him to bat by failing to double switch him into a game.

I could feel the pulled hamstring.

Good thing he couldn't.

That's a good story right there.

So during the break, I went to the printer, and I have a printer on my desk, but I can't print while I'm talking or it makes too much noise.

They're fantastic.

Houston Company that does work all over the world on sound dampening, which is an art.
