o Use Tools When Loosening Lug Nut SOUTHWORTH, Wash. (AP) -- A man trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun, injuring himself badly in both legs, sheriff's deputies said. The 66-year-old man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks at his home northwest of Southworth, about 10 miles southwest of Seattle, and had gotten all but one of the lug nuts off the right rear wheel by Saturday afternoon, Kitsap County Deputy Scott Wilson said. "He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said. From about arm's length, the man fired the shotgun at the wheel and was "peppered" in both legs with buckshot and debris, with some injuries as high as his chin, according to a sheriff's office report. "Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said. The man was taken to Tacoma General Hospital with injuries Wilson described as severe but not life-threatening. © 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

http://www.cardinalshistory.com/lore_dizzy_dean.htm beautiful baseball lore. thanks.

anyone have any info about this magnificent pairing? i have only one vinyl.

Yep. Walton is somebody I always look forward to hearing, precisely because he is such a "character". If this sort of thing is a bother, then I suspect that most y'all must be too young to remember Dizzy Dean,,, wish you call hear a tape of the diz. hope there's some sounds of diz dean floating around somewhere on the web. slid was 'slud.'

chris schenkel was another one, may god rest his soul, and dick enberg, once a fine broadcaster, who stayed in the business too long.

love blaha's broadcasts of michigan state football. blaha has a style all his own.

i will miss his perspectives, his fire, and his interviews and public talks. may he rest in peace.

Amen aloc! That's why I prefer listening to the radio over watching a football or baseball game on TV. On the radio they talk about the game. On TV they talk about the replay. that's 2 of us. i love radio for sports, too.

What is that? Is a good number high or low? Forget it Russell....numbers only tell half the story. No, they tell a very large portion of the story, and numbers like OPS+ tell more than traditional measures like BA, RBI or the like. OPS is On-base percentage plus slugging. OPS+ is a normalized for park and league effects. 100 means you are an average player. Less than 100 is below average, more than 100 is above average (if you see a number for ERA+ fora pitcher, its the same deal - 100 is league average, less is worse than league average, more is better than league average). To put Rodriguez' 147 in perspective, go back to the quoted article: Are any of those players earning 30 million plus? Are any of them likely to ask for it in the near future? Cabrera is the only one clearly in his prime, or entering it, and he will never approach what Boras is asking teams to pay A-Rod. Do numbers/statistics show motivation? Heart of a champion? Determination? Attitude? In game situations like sacrifice bunts or sacrifice flies? Bad calls by the umpires? Momentum? I could go on..... Has A-Rod shown the heart of a champion? Determination? Let me guess - you think that David Epstein is some fantastic player, right? Tell me you do, because he's got tremendous "heart" "determination" and a killer "attitude". So you tell me that Epstein is the kind of guy that every team should dream of having. Go ahead, tell me. Or, tell me the player who you think best shows "heart" and "determination" and "attitude". The rest of your list is game specific events that have nothing to do with statistical analysis. StatHead, right? Dan, if all you relate to is numbers for your evidence of an excellent baseball player then you have just proven my point. Epstein....? That is the hill you choose to die on? Yer killin' me here. Here's a newsflash for ya: Numbers have defined baseball since the dawn of the modern game. We happen to have better numbers today. If you think "heart" and "determination" have some meaning in defining greatness, have it. How about if you say that David Ortiz has the "heart of a champion" because he's had "clutch" hits in the post-season. I'll stick with he's great in the post-season because from 2004-2007, he has an OBP of .500 and slugged over .700. "Heart of a champion" is a cliche with no meaning whatsoever. Does Jeter have the "heart of a champion"? That's complete bullshit. Now, tell me who defines "heart of a champion" and the other cliches you spouted. Tell me. Because it makes me think that you believe there are "great" players who no one looking at statistics would describe as "great". So tell me - who has the "heart of a champion" and "determination"????? cant stand the stats flashed across the screen during sporting events. when i want to play with stats i tear into one of my books of mathematical formulas or those marvelous market stats. the games and performers have a beauty and pace and emotion that cannot be measured in numbers. just as in music it takes but an instant to spot outstanding and mediocre performers. i am eagerly awaiting the day when sporting event viewers will have an option to shut off garbage screen displays and useless tickers and endless replays of every play. thank god we can kill the sound and listen to quality music.

November 9, 2007 Teen Charged in Football Game Flyover By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 12:34 a.m. ET CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A teenager flew a small airplane low over a high school football game and dropped a football into the end zone as a prank, said authorities who are now charging him with misdemeanors. Brian Morris, 17, was in court Thursday to face two charges: dangerous flying and dropping objects at a sporting event. ''These are very uncommon. They are not normal charges,'' Huntersville police spokesman Capt. Michael Kee. The football dropped last Friday was signed by Hopewell High School faculty and students, and school officials are investigating how many people knew about Morris' plans. Morris was flying low enough that some spectators could see the tail numbers on the rented single-engine Cessna 172, police said. Two passengers won't be charged, police said. ''He was below the level of the stadium lights, so that was quite a shock to people who were there,'' Kee said. ''It's certainly up to the judge, but the seriousness of what he did, it potentially could have been a bad situation.'' Officials at the school north of Charlotte suspended Morris on Monday, but it was unclear what his status was Thursday. School district officials said they couldn't discuss his or any student's files. A court clerk didn't know whether Morris had an attorney. A woman at a home believed to be Morris' declined to comment to the Charlotte Observer on Monday. A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said the agency may suspend or revoke Morris' pilot's certificate following an investigation. The FAA requires an altitude of at least 1,000 feet when flying over a large crowd. Kaleb Combs, a junior at Hopewell High School and Morris' friend, told the Observer that many students knew in advance what Morris planned and that students collected $700 at the game in case he needed bail money.
