It's too bright

Yaphet Kotto - Of Epic Proportions

Your words could have held the ground up under my feet.
Although I can’t recall the purpose, each one still stings.
Thinking back on things now filled with regret.
I wish we shared more time, something we’ll never get back.
Listened patiently but denial’s never kind.
Escaping what’s believed; starting to realize.
Instrumental in the shaping of a young mind; taught me everything.
Something you think I’d recognize but your words still strike a chord; each one more important.
Words mean all. I’ve got each one. More important than the last.
Only here and now the past creates a camouflage to cover my wounded eyes.
Mistrust mistaken. I’m apathetic only here and now the past takes a little time to pacify satifaction.

liam-desu: Yu Darvish made the entire Rockies lineup (besides Tood Helton and Jason Giambi of all people, of course) look like fools.He started the game off with a leadoff walk but found his command by striking out Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gonzalez, and Troy Tulowitzki to retire the side.Final Line: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 11 Ks, 1 HRAbsolutely dominant. Darvish’s ability to be a strikeout pitcher transitioning from NPB to MLB will be the key to his success. By keeping a low FIP and relying on the abilities of his 2SFB, slow Curve, and sinker to fool batters, his groundball tendencies should translate very well to a low ERA. Darvish now has 32 strikeouts in 21 Spring Training innings. When you don’t let many balls into play, your ERA will consequently go down. Perhaps most stunning was how 6 of his 11 strikeouts were against Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki, two of the best hitters in the National League. I don’t think anyone can claim that they’ve hat-tricked CarGo and Tulo in the same game.Pictured above, Darvish making Marco Scutaro, CarGo, and Tulo look like fools.  liam-desu: Yu Darvish made the entire Rockies lineup (besides Tood Helton and Jason Giambi of all people, of course) look like fools.He started the game off with a leadoff walk but found his command by striking out Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gonzalez, and Troy Tulowitzki to retire the side.Final Line: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 11 Ks, 1 HRAbsolutely dominant.
