The Baseball Theory of Life

Chris Jones:

Back in my besotted days, I came up with something I called The Baseball Theory of Life. […] I was young enough back then to think there was something fresh in employing sports as a metaphor for the rest of our existence. Now, I’m a little embarrassed by it, but I also like to think, on this rekindling night, that there was something to it.

Another great post.

'The Chicago Code' on the Ropes

I hope it survives, and not just because it was filmed in the city and one of the main characters is a Cubs fan who graduated from Northwestern. “Code” really is great, and the Chicago touches endear it to me even more.
