@UkraineNotWeak:

I've watched bits and pieces. So far I've seen Duran Duran and Tom Jones. Apparently William and Harry hated Diana.

@Slothrop: hee! Did you just know that? Cause I am most impressed if you did. I think that is my favorite musical I've been in.

I just protested MJD leaving by reading 1/3 of this post, leaving the room for 10 minutes and then coming back and picking up reading 3 lines below where I left off.

MJD, you're not going to leave now, right?

@Unsilent Majority: There is some good discussion about the coverage in the comments here - [bucsdugout.com] and here [whereisvanslyke.blogspot.com] .

(The former having a very smart comment about Pittsburgh blue collar ways, where any sort of dissant is not looked at kindly.)

I watched the Nats/Pirates game. Nothing noticeable.

The protest? Or the game itself? Because this works for both.

So at what point do we turn this into a Weekend Daddy roast? Will there be a post later in the day for that?

Since it seems that its being ignored I'm going to conclude that its perfectly normal for middle relievers to set their equipment on fire.

I've heard so many different numbers on the walkout, I just don't know what to believe.

Although I've read a couple of places that Doc Ellis's pre-game rally speach was really good. I have to find video of that.

@Spectacular Sam:

By chance, did the ghost of Roberto Clemente emerge to play right for the Pirates? That may be the only way to revive the Bucs.

tWWL was reporting last night that somewhere between 100 (100, not 1k) and 7000 people walked out...

Gotta love how accurate they strive to be...

Sending in Brett Tomko is admitting defeat when you still have a chance to win.
