In 2006, this guy pitched 7.1 against Cal State Fullerton, and Matt Danford balked, picked a guy off third, and got the win. 13 innings. How can I not want someone whose starts I remember in that much detail in my bullpen?

thursday nonsense: cats on film
It’s gonna take a while to get the hang of my Pentax K1000. But I’m gonna try my ass off.
the thing that ate my life: house photos
So some but not all of you know that right before Christmas, I closed on an amazing little townhouse in a cute neighborhood in Chapel Hill. And some but not all of you know that three weeks after that, during an incredibly unseasonable-even-for-January cold snap in the NC, I had two pipes burst in the…
concerts: merge 25
In June 1993 — on the mouth was out, but Flat Duo Jets’ White Trees was due out “that month” — I ripped an article titled “Goin’ To The Chapel” out of Sassy Magazine. It asserted that Chapel Hill was about to be the next Seattle; bands featured in it include Superchunk, of course; Dex…

concerts: the fresh & onlys w/ the shilohs and estrangers @ local 506
Wrote about the Shilohs’ set for Speakers. The Fresh & Onlys, whose latest release House of Spirits is one I’m pretty crazy about, finished out the night, and, god, you guys, I just love well-done indie pop so so so much. The whole night was just jangle shimmer hand claps sort of delightful. Winston-Salem’s Estrangers, the project of…
tuesday nonsense: cats in things
I see you purchased a thing for me to be in. I shall be in this thing, which all your purses, which you have purchased for me to be in. What do you mean you are shutting the lid. I am in this thing! I cannot get out of this thing! Stop buying things for…
