All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails wanted to go to a baseball game, but the local minor league game was rained out. So they tried to play their own game here in the den. They weren't really able to find something that they could pitch, so it ended up more like kickball. It was so slow moving it was very hard to sit through. They just kept saying "that's baseball, baby!"
