Jules, Corner Booth. Part 1
Jules had just turned 83. He sat in the otherwise empty diner. Corner booth. Back against the wall so nobody was behind him. He was on his fourth refill of coffee.

New @darkoindex: We just flew into New York. Five-game losing streak and the manager’s under fire. Facing the Mets tomorrow. Sometimes teams spend all the money and everyone gets hurt. splicetoday.com/sports/the-s…
Situational Lefty, Part 2:
"Had a day off so I went out to Hoboken. My Uncle Stu lives there. Hoboken’s a funny little place. Stu used to say it was named after a Hobo named Ken, back in the early days of New York. Some guy who wandered over the river. "

Via @darkoindex: Send me back to DC, so I can make a living as a defensive replacement and pinch runner. That’s what I tell the coach to tell the big league manager. splicetoday.com/writing/util…

New @darkoindex: Utility Guy, Part 2 splicetoday.com/writing/util…
The Utility Guy, Part 2.
"Bumping along in the dark. Seats that don’t recline far enough. You barely notice these overnight bus rides when you’re 23 and can practically sleep leaning against a wall. Nine years later, I’m back gazing out into the darkness"

Via @darkoindex: Did I mention I hit a 450-footer the other day? Might be my last real blast. Second inning. Sun still up. Breeze blowing out to right. Inside fastball at 93. Turned on that ball and kept it fair by just a few feet. splicetoday.com/writing/the-…

New @darkoindex: I know it’s my final season. My reflexes aren’t what they used to be. Couldn’t hit lefties in March so now I ride the pine whenever we face one. This automated strike zone challenge situation is fun. splicetoday.com/writing/the-…
Designated Hitter, Pt 2
"No family members come to see me play anymore. My parents moved to New Mexico a few years back. Long drive just to see me play in Phoenix. Mom posts pictures of her watercolors online. They’re pretty good, mostly desert landscapes"

Via @darkoindex: One thing you learn after elbow surgery… you’re just another dude in a uniform. Doesn’t matter how much you signed for ($1.5 million). Doesn’t matter how good you were in the minors or how high you rose on the Top 100 lists. splicetoday.com/writing/the-…

New @darkoindex: The Southpaw, Part 2: Long-Toss with Jorge. splicetoday.com/writing/the-…
Southpaw Pt 2:
"Anyway, I’m supposed to throw long-toss for 30 minutes a day. Three-hundred feet. I take Jorge to the high school field in this plastic suburb and I toss him strikes from deep center. Told me to come back to the stadium after two weeks."
