He was so, so, lucky. Just a few inches in any direction, he could have lost an eye, had his nose and mouth destroyed, or even been killed with a direct hit to him temple. He's already given a press conference and is relaxed and coherent: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=26949285&source=MLB&c_id=mlb&tcid=facebook_embedded_player

Look at that! Great job!

Happy birthday, Shelly!

The only info of any kind I can find on the internet about his condition, although completely unofficial, is at least encouraging: "I think the last indication was that he was alert and feeling better and had gone for a CT scan. That's the last I heard," Toronto pitcher R.A. Dickey said.

Please send your thoughts and prayers for J.A. Happ, pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, who took a hard hit line drive directly off of his head in tonight's game in Tampa. J.A. (who goes by "Jay") is from my home town area in Central Illinois, and went to the same high school that I did, although some 20 years later. I've followed his career very closely (hardly ever missing a single pitch he's thrown in the majors), so of course I was watching the game tonight on MLB.TV. Warning: it's not pretty... http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/5/7/4310406/j-a-happ-injury-blue-jays Watching this live was quite difficult for me. I sure hope this young man hasn't just suffered any life changing injuries. By all accounts he's a great guy and quite a humble gentleman.

Fitz, did Noah make it to the meet? Hope he's doing well. Tell him Santa said hi.

^ That one was just for fun. This one is seriously good, especially the last 3 and a half minutes.

Mostly the latter, but it did make me cringe when he described the 7/11 sandwich, much like it does when a flight attendant asks me if I want to purchase a 'headset' for $2.

Especially helpful when you've hanging out with 23 buddies, everyone is drinking the same brand of beer, and have simultaneously finished their last one and thus are thirsty for the next one... don't laugh, it happens!

Well done, sir.

So very sad to learn of your loss, Steve. I think that it's safe to say that we're all here for you, but please don't be afraid to seek professional help and guidance. May he rest in peace, and may you and his children, family members and friends find positive ways to cope.

^ Don't worry Jim, we knew that you were a molester as well as a drunk, and proud of you we all are!

Looks like the Bat Signal.

Happy birthday!

There is a heaven.

They made a simple math error. It can happen to anyone. For 5 o'clock, the factorial should not be under the radical. Square root of 9 = 3, then the factorial = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 - 1 = 5. With the factorial misplaced, it's FUBAR.

Rum cake with some extra rum.

Whaddya think caused that awful smell?
