I thought about my actions before I clicked "POST"

and decided that there are no such things as curses, jinxes, or anything greater than a 0% chance that the Brewers or Cubs players are reading my BCB posts, on their edge of their seats, waiting to see what I say next.

The Matrix recycles a lot of pretty common sci-fi tropes (not that that’s a bad thing!) Dark City did a much more thoughtful presentation of the basic idea. Great, great movie.

What is worse....

He didn’t need to turn the DP, and probably couldn’t against Dickerson. He needed to get one out. Then the score is 3-2 with 2 outs and the infield back.
