- Jack Batty steps up to the plate. He’s had a pretty good day, Bob. - That’s right Vince, so far he’s four for four with no sign of letting up. - Batty, the starting left-poster for the Dopers, steps into the batter’s box, and stares down The Squirrel, one of the most fear pitchers out there. - That’s right, Vince. Many a poster has been sent packing by that elusive Squirrelly Curve. - Here’s the wind-up, and it looks like a fastball coming in. Stee-rike one. He didn’t have a chance at that one, Bob. - That’s right, Vince. We felt the breeze from that swing up here. - Batty looks determined, as he steps back in. - That’s right, Vince. A steely gaze if I’ve ever seen one. - Here’s the pitch. Whoah, Squirrelly brushes him back with a little chiiiiiin music. I don’t think Batty like that one little bit, Bob. - That’s right, Vince. He looks pretty pissed. - The count’s one-and-one, as The Squirrel steps back on the rubber. The wind-up, and the pitch. {crack!} - Great Googly-Moogly, he got all of that one, it’s going back, back, back … and you can kiss Mr. Spaulding good-bye, it’s out of here. - That’s right Vince, Batty is now a solid **five for five** on the day. - Great day in the morning, what a ball game we got going here, Bob. - That’s right, Vince. ---

My current suggestions for some must have music: Nick Drake _Way to Blue_ – Haunting Folk-Pop Melodies from a man ahead of his time who died before his time. the waxwings (I can’t remember the name of the album right now) --Delicious pop harmonies that evoke the best of the Beach Boys Smile/Pet Sounds sound without sounding too retro. Songs that stick in your head and make you tap your feet all day. Shameless Plug: Check out some great music on [www.royalfuzz.com](http://www.royalfuzz.com). It’s candy for your ears! ---

I was just curious about what has been happening in this thread. Still got a relatively low post to view ratio. I think it will only get higher as the pages get longer. HUGS!
