*high fives*

(also, hi. First baseball fic involving actual baseball players and not Jared Padalecki or Jensen Ackles? I think so.)

I will direct you to candle_beck's masterlist. See you in six weeks.

Well, fortunately, she wrote an illustrated primer. First link.

This is great. Especially the part about hardly anything ever reaching Cliff's eyes...that is very true. I liked the dialogue a lot.

See, I'm a Clevelander, so I've been watching Cliff Lee be creepy-stoic for years now. Dude is pretty stone-cold insane.

Anyway, thank you! Glad you liked.

you're pretty sure you'd find yourself traded to Balitmore if he saw tears

Adding this to the running tally of "possible reasons why Rich Harden got released."

I really liked this. Your CJ voice rang true for me. :)

For crying?

WORK THROUGH THE PAIN, HARDEN. COME ON.

FRANKLY RIDICULOUS

Well said, James.

Also, that part made me grin like a loon.

Of course that's the part of the fic everyone has to comment on.

Have you listened to this guy talk? His stream of consciousness must be really fucking wordy is all I'm saying.

I'd definitely have to agree with that assessment. I really enjoyed your CJ voice.

Very eloquent handling of what it feels like to lose the World Series.

He talks so fast, too. I hope I captured that at least a little.

Well, then let's hope they're back and win in two years like the Cards did earlier this decade!

(not a Cards fan or even really a Rangers fan, but you know what I mean)
