PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"SSC4(FF) 'Danny Boy' and 'Hardball'" |
These two are each very short, so I put them together.
Danny Boy
Whenever she sees those pearly snap-button shirts, she remembers the look on Danny’s face when he ripped her shirt open in the seventh grade, behind the stage curtain at the Civic Center. His face blushed dark red while the thick slides of trombones from the pep band rang in her ears.
And whenever she thinks of Danny, she remembers him three years later, when she saw him blink from his casket in the back of a dark, stained-glass windowed church. Danny’s dead body lured her from her practice, and she left the organ keys bare and the bench askew. The final chords she’d played from the blue hymnal hung eerily above the balcony, suspended like witches from the rafters.
### Hardball Every time she watches her son, the pitcher, playing sharp and focused on that old field of wavy sand and marshmallow bases, she remembers that night in '87 when she spent some time with another pitcher, intensely playing hardball under silver spiderwebbed bleachers near a gleaming harvest-mooned infield spread with shine and grit. When her son kisses her goodbye after the game, and walks away swaying against a hippy fresh brunette whose ripe lips pucker like sweet caramel apples, a reverie caresses her round the shoulders like a bunting and she savors, for a moment, the moment, until it trips her eyes wide at thoughts of her thirty-four-year-old self, holding a caramel-appley grandbaby.
