The Morning Line, 2/22 (ChildePlease edition)
Imagine you grew up in poverty. Scraping in the dirt to make something of yourself. Imagine further that you’re a prisoner of the local authorities, encumbered by anger and the callowness of your youth; blessed with unnatural talent, yet unable to get...

The Morning Line 2/21 (replacement player edition)
By Scott Springer • sspringer@communitypress.com With @EnquirerDoc taking a few innings off, the fine folks at 312 Elm are letting a few replacement players scribble a few morning lines again. I actually covered the replacement players back in 1995 and...

The Morning Line, 2/20 (Betsy Ross edition)
Guest TML writer Betsy Ross is president and co-founder of Game Day Communications. First, thanks to Doc for letting me rent this space for a day. It is truly an honor to try to fill his literary shoes. If you read the column he wrote a few months ago...

The Morning Line, 2/19 (Irish Bearcat III Edition)

The Morning Line, 2/14
The Morning Man is in excruciating video training all day, starting at 9, so TML is off today. Brad on Beer reminds that this weekend is the Cincinnati Beer Fest. Go. Thanks to the multitudes who offered cigar suggestions. Valentine’s Day fodder: Do you...

The Morning Line, 2/13
The Morning Man might come back and create tomorrow. Or, you know, I might not. I’m simply not ready to make a commitment. I would like to leave all my options open, from writing like Hemingway to falling asleep watching the Kardashians. I might write,...

The Morning Line, 2/12
Later this morning , the pleasant thunking will commence. Ball to glove, horsehide on leather. Is it really horsehide? Does PETA know? Pitchers and catchers will commence tossing. For those OG enough to remember G. Carlin’s magnificent take on the differences...

The Morning Line, 2/11
The only sure thing about life is that it’s mostly gray, and I’m not talking about the crud I see out my window six days out of seven. The number of absolute heroes and unquestionable villains in sports or anywhere else is minuscule. You can make a definitive...
