Weather
"Nice day for a ball game... isn't it?"
(Teenage Head - "Disgusteen" - Frantic City)



(felt like rock'n out there for a second)


Working as always, with the "Blogger-in-Draft" User Interface - today with Firefox 7 browser - instead of the usual Firefox 3 which allows the colour notations. The reason: since I added the disappeared scrolling text boxes the response time is horrible. Two lines of code in 4 CSS elements and the interface sucks - what's up with that?

The response time in Firefox 7 using the Blogger-in-Draft interface is exceptional.

Anyway no colour today, see how it goes, the 4th line of each quadrant of each AB box notes what happened to move the runner along that baseline - so in the first AB box below the notation "SB" along the 1B to 2B line indicates the runner is on second - around the clock backwards, the "RS" notation along that batter's 3B to HP line indicates that Furcal scored from 2B (on Berkman's HR).
