Glad you made it this far, stay a while

.... 5th inning, you're two runs behind. What pitch do you throw to a left-handed batter who is a spray hitter with runners on first and third? What is offsides in soccer, anyway?

.... you're off on the wings, just offstage, and hear your cue. A lump forms in your throat. It's your first opera workshop.

.... a blank page is staring you down before a first, fledgling poem takes shape.

I hope this blogger site gets you in the mood to go for it on the field, on the stage, in published form, in real life.

Young-uns, scrimmaging on the field and touchline

Back in September, I watched Tom Ince combine wonderfully down the left side with teammates Danny Rose and Jonjo Shelvley in an under-21 international in Baku, and voila, now Ince has popped 13 goals in so far at Blackpool, prompting Swansea/Laudrup to bid for him. Rose also rightfully bristled at racial abuse suffered in Serbia, and recent punishment handed down by FIFA against Bulgaria and Hungary were no doubt also spurred (pardon me) by the brawl after the Serbia match won by the England squad. If Swansea gets Ince, it will make their attacking midfield on the left more formidable. Explaining why Liverpool also wants him. When watching the match in Baku, Georgiana Turner said:

Rose-Ince-Shelvey are effective coming down left side (Zaha was having a less great night)

Lewis Holtby http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/lewis-holtby/profil/spieler_55508.html is also arriving at Tottenham in the near future, making the Rose/Holtby combo quite a formidable one, if they are fielded regularly together. Will see. Stay tuned for how this plays out.
