"Can of Corn"!
No?
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Can of Corn"!
::SNORT::
Right. I'd love trying to explain that one to non-cultists. *g*
I played around with any number of pitching references but discovered that they've been co-opted by a Dorch author who has terrible covers and even worse character names. (Brek Stryker-- and of course he's a pitcher. Kason Rhodes. Risk Kincaid. Jacy Grayson. And the team name is the Rogues. No shit.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What the hell is UP with those covers? Is it just me, or do they look a) cheap and b) unprofessional?

That's Dorchester for you. I am SO OVER cartoon covers, I can't even tell you.

I suppose Meatball Man, Circus Catch, and Toeing the Mendoza Line are right out then. ::sighs::
Seriously, I have no good ideas. Yet. Let me think on it.

And can you imagine the reaction that "Toeing the Rubber" would get? ::snerk::

Hee.
I want to say something about "Opening Day," but ... no. It's almost as good as the bowling book Kate and I wanted to title "Up Her Alley". ::nods::

Well, it's like the cover for that Strike Zone book-- he looks like he's pitching right at her crotch and I'm sorry, if there's anything less sexy I can think of than having a 98mph fastball hurled at my hooha.
YOWCH.

That cover and the title combined is uncomfortably reminiscent of the Labia Dress, if you ask me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I can only think of quotes from Bull Durham, which I think wouldn't work for titles, since, you know, theft.
I'm hiding out in the bedroom while The Boy vaccums the house (except the bedroom, of course). My allergies have gone batshit in the past couple of days thanks to all the newly blooming plants/trees/etc. outside. I can handle pollen OR pet hair, but not both. So I've been doped up on 2 antihistamines all weekend and cursing the evils of pollen, my old nemesis.
t edit I *could,* of course, do something useful in the bedroom (we're actually cleaning the house today in a more-than-haphazard, half-assed manner), like change the bedsheets. But no. The internets need me.
