Hi Mysticrz,

I've created a new thread for you, as the one you posted in was about something else.

Welcome to the forums! I wish you a very pleasant time here.

Can you give us some context for this sentence? It's a little strange.

Stained glass is colored glass, used to make pictures. The most usual place to find stained glass is the decorative windows in a church.

The bullpen, in baseball, is an area set aside for the guy who will be the next pitcher to warm up and practice in.

You probably know what an earthquake is.

The sentence is strange for a couple of reasons. First, it sounds as if the bullpen broke during the earthquake, while logically it must be that the glass broke. Also, I can understand why stained glass would break during an earthquake, but a bullpen is not usually someplace you find stained glass -- unless maybe it's a colored glass sign advertising beer or something like that! I suppose there could be tinted glass to cut down on the glare from the sun, but that would not usually be called stained glass.

In addition to what Khoff has written, I'd like to add that your sentence is not a complete sentence.
Did you remove or forget part of it?
