I love you Clappie, but I'm sure you know what that last post sounded like:
"Phan's sister, who went to school near Cincinnati, knew a friend of a friend's cousin who watches the Reds, and she says that Dunn is actually a pretty good outfielder, not nearly as bad as everybody says. In fact those stat guys, and the guys who are paid to watch every single play of every game, and then <i>re-watch</i> it it in slow-motion, so as to evaluate fielding...those guys are clueless and cannot be trusted. What the hell do <i>they</i> know?
Instead, I'd go with the opinion of my friend-of-a-friend's cousin who's a fan, and caught quite a few Red's games last year at a bar."

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
