Fangraphs doesn't care that Parmelee got beaned in the head.
I'm sure that you can find a mlb video of Pedroia nearly hitting the cycle somewhere.

4 dudes are tied at the top of the King of the Savers race. It's too early to pick a favorite, but this Johnson is pitching out of his mind in Bodymore.

My mom always told me if I can't say something nice I shouldn't say anything at all.

Culture Club: I stumbled onto ArtOrg's website when looking for a used Fuchs and Lang litho press on line. After a little digging around I found that they're a community based printshop with a focus on education and collaboration. They offer classes for beginners through advanced adults and kids. ArtOrg's projects are often ambitious in scale, sometimes incorporating over 1000 individual artist's work to create a single mural. Artorg also publishes the work of regional and national artists. The sale of prints from their shop supports their community outreach. The next time you're in Northfield stop in and see what's happening.
