GREENWOOD – As a practical matter, Laurens’ Tuesday-night visit to Greenwood was little more than a non-conference workout for the baseball playoffs, but the Eagles and Raiders are familiar rivals. Greenwood (13-2) whipped Laurens (14-9-1) for the 2nd time – the 1st was on Feb. 18 – by 6th-inning run rule, 15-5. The Raiders’ Jackson …

Laurens’ wave greener, 7-1
EASLEY -- Behind a gutty performance on the mound by Grayson Ledford, Laurens won for the 4th time in a row with a workmanlike 7-0 victory over Easley on Monday night.

The Definition of Getaway
The Pilgrims and the Loggers were headed in opposite directions. It was “getaway day” at quaint Fitzgerald Field. The Pilgrims had won the third of four games the night before, after two rain delays, and were poised for a sweep. They were three games ahead of the Suns, thanks to six wins in a row. …
Old Times Come to Me Once More
Clinton, South Carolina, Friday, February 21, 2020, 11:20 a.m. Everything I’ve done this morning leads me in the direction of a song. I posted some thoughts on Facebook, and two people noted that it sounded like a song could be written from it. I am thus presently thinking about one. As soon as I finished …
Things I Wish Somebody Else Would Say
Clinton, South Carolina, Saturday, November 23, 2019, 10:01 a.m.. A frustration of mine is wishing people would say what I would. Whether it’s a presidential debate, or a stock car race, or a sitcom, I can’t understand why people with a voice don’t use it the way I would. For instance, I don’t find President …
Taking Ball Four a Second Time
Clinton, South Carolina, Sunday, October 13, 2019, 12:19 p.m. Let me begin with two reasons why this book review should be better. I like to write a review when the book is fresh in my mind. I like to finish the last page and start a review. The hectic nature of my life these days …
Making Light of Myself, Etc.
Clinton, South Carolina, Monday, October 7, 1019, 9:38 a.m. This blog is an intangible. I derive no tangible income from it. I hope it has some promotional value, but mainly I write it to get things off my chest. It’s therapeutic in its way. Sometimes it’s a warm-up, like playing scales, I guess, if I …
The Heat Is On … in Every Way
Clinton, South Carolina, Friday, October 4, 2017, 12:06 p.m. The forecast says the heat wave is ending tonight. It might rain late next week. Actually, it might rain a little tonight, hopefully not when I’m walking the sideline of a high school football game. Three weeks ago, it didn’t rain in Simpsonville, but nearby lightning …
Adventures with Freddy, Part 3
Clinton, South Carolina, Sunday, August 11, 2019, 2:45 p.m. In Part Three, suspicion begins to intrude on the traveling camaraderie between the driverless SUV “Freddy” and the passenger “Horace.” It felt odd to become friends with a machine, but Freddy and I were getting along famously. We traveled all the way to Oregon and back, …
Adventures in Technology, Breathing, and Breathing Technologically
Clinton, South Carolina, Thursday, July 18, 2019, 11:18 a.m. This is the first blog in a while. I’ve been busy. My home wifi went out, and I couldn’t schedule a technician until Tuesday. While I was spending time at the local library and McDonald’s – two locations conveniently nearby – someone hacked my Facebook account, …
