130 3-run HRs? No good.

i'm not a WBC defender

its just a “everytime” should apply to something that happens more than twice.

I think the WBC is at a horrible time, esp for pitchers.

It’s called TREME and takes place in New Orleans and deals with the resurgence of music in NOLA. Bunk and Lester star. In Simon I trust—he’s by far the best TV show runner.
