See you on the other side


And thus endeth the current iteration of ShysterBall. Starting Monday it will be all CTB, all the time. It'll be everything ShysterBall is and more. I'm hoping you all join me.

But this is not goodbye old friends, it is merely farewell, for I will be back on the esteemed pages of THT come April with "And That Happened." Same Bat Time -- early -- but different Bat Channel -- most likely at THT Live. I may even start doing it on the weekends. We'll see.

Like I said yesterday, thanks to all of you for making this blog everything that it has become. If it weren't for your clicks, comments, praise and, occasionally, scorn, I would have quit a long time ago. If that had happened and I never would have realized my dream of becoming a full time writer and there would be one more practicing lawyer in the world come Monday. Nobody needs that.

I'm the luckiest sonofabitch on the face of the Earth, and don't you think for a second I don't know that. And for that allow me to, once again, offer my thanks.

My Morning in Exile


I actually came in to work today because I figured my last day should be a Friday. I'm like the only attorney in the whole office. Even better? They entrusted me with the coffee club money to pay the guy from the catering company who comes by on Fridays. What's stopping me from running off with the $26 they gave me? For that matter, what's to stop me from running off with laptops, video conferencing equipment and The Great Seal of the State of Ohio? I'll tell you what: Ethics. You double-cross once - where's it all end?

  • If you're over 35 it's hanky time.


  • The Jays more or less tell Rod Barajas to take his flunky and dangle.


  • Ohlendorff, eh? You want a job? You got references? You been to college? We ONLY take yeggs what's been to college, ain't that right, Dane?


  • Seein' Kevin Towers mope around with no job ruins Brian Cashman's, whaddya call it, "joy de veever"? So he's gonna probably give him one.


  • Andy MacPhail: Orioles fans don't like it when you give 'em the high hat.


  • Jose Contreras may not have a lot left in the tank, but the old man's still an artist with a Thompson.


  • OK, that last one was a stretch, but I had it in me mind to do all of these with "Miller's Crossing" quotes, and that's the best I could do.
