I miss baseball. I'm wearing my Ron LeFlore Tigers jersey today.

Happy Good Friday to our Christian friends here.

Wait..."happy"? How about: a solemn Good Friday to my Christian friends here

Would anyone ever file a trademark for the rights to the word "tampon"?

One guy is inching pretty close.

So do I. Wearing a mask when you leave your house is strongly recommended, but the only mask I want to wear is the one I use when I'm working behind the plate.

Thanks for the Good Friday wishes, NoMich. The most common greeting I have heard is "have a blessed Good Friday", so that's offered for what it's worth.

The word "tampion" is defined as a wooden plug inserted into the muzzle of a gun. If you can find a picture of a WWII battleship in port, you can see the guns plugged to avoid salt spray from corroding the barrels. Tampion is derived from the French word Tampon. Both are intended to plug an opening.
