Picturing Jim in a tight white tee and running kills me, that was so lovely... great descriptions!!!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I spend way too much time thinking of Jim in a tight white T-shirt.

Fun! I think I know where Phyllis is...
Author's Response:
Heh heh heh. But somehow, that never seems to occur to Michael...
Thanks for reviewing!

Kind of on the fly here (notice the b-ball ref?) cause I'm sort of in transit...but this totally satisfied my hankering for an ensemble b-ball fic. And not just cause it feaured sweaty, take-charge, fun-loving Jim in a tight white t-shirt (you know that type of thing does nothing for me ;-)
As usual, you made me laugh at Creed and Meredith was perfect (you're always so good at enlisting the lesser-used characters to full advantage.) And the rhythm and build of the game really came across. Scrappy Pam and natural athlete Jim (yum) - you captured that zone they're still in, where every inadvertant touch is charged. Know what struck me as an oddly sexy detail? When Pam watched Jim eat his hot dog in 3 bites. Don't think I'll over analyze that one, LOL.
Sorry for this scattered, semi-coherent review, but thanks for this happy fic - what a great summer treat.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, Colette. You know how I love to use the 'background' characters, so Creed and Meredith were a natural. I was hoping the Jam would come across without un-balancing the rest of the story. And yeah, the tight white T-Shirt Jim was on my mind while writing this. A lot. ;) Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for your review.

Okay, I have a feeling that this is going to be a great story, and it's only the first chapter! But come on...with Michael in golf shoes and still-has-the-tag-on-it Phillies jersey, how can it not be?
Author's Response: ::smort:: Hey, it's Michael's lucky tag, remember? I'm glad you're reading this, Cousin Mose. Not to get all sexist or anything, but I always want to know if guys think I got the sports stuff right...

I loved this story, NEJ. A great ensemble fic and perfect for summer reading. I loved Meredith as a star pitcher. And the Pam and Jim tension was wonderful. You write every character spot on.
And best of all? I got to read the entire story at once last night! So I'm printing in out now so I can read it at work today.
Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you! I needed to write a "summer story", and nothing says summer like a lazy afternoon at the ballpark. I'm gratified you thought I captured the characters; writing so many is fun but exhausting!

Good start so far. Seems like it will definately be entertaining.
Author's Response: Thanks! And thanks for sticking with it.
