    Jesus, that “Call to the Pen” website is a mess. Between spam adds everywhere, random articles in the middle of the real one, and god awful slideshow style design…

    Jays journal article is a load of fictional predictive trash. Not worth the read. Clutchlings however is a different story, great article on Cherington and the new Jays organization. Well worth the read.
