LAST THING TEXAS NEEDS IS A HITTING COACH. THEY NEED A DOMED STADIUM SO THEY AREN'T FAGGED OUT FROM HEAT AS THE SEASON WINDS DOWN.

Agreed! as js were saying---------- If the St. Louis Cardinals win the NLCS, it will mark the first time a World Series will have two teams who didn't win at least 90 games in a full regular season.

let's wait'll a hillbilly fiddler writes a ditty called tebowing for jesus.

LINK "Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?) According to ESPN's Jane McManus, Tebow doesn't plan to make any money off his "Tebowing" trademark, since it's a prayer and all. But he wanted more control over it, to keep others from profiting."

yankee fans on new york talk radio are near suicidal, blaming everyone in sight and wanting to get rid of them. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Bunch of spoiled whiners. Win the WS or you're nothing to them. Wow. may i extend precondolences, goody? last evening, the gigantes looked nearly as inept as this years feeble incarnation of the legendary pinstripers. You won't get an argument from me. Go hard or go home time. Yeah, the Giants looked like a beat team last night, no spark at all. It will be interesting to see what Lincecum does in the off season, he is notorious for going his on way in terms of conditioning, his pitching mechanics, etc. It's clear he needs to bulk up, and get a new approach -- whether he does that or not might tell the tale of a athlete on the downside of a great career. I agree. He's not been the Lincecum of the Cy Young years since the last couple months of the 2011 season. He's hanging everything and his velocity is way down. Maybe if he quit smoking the happy plant he'd get it back. Who knows. i really hope that lincecum regains his form and velocity next year. seeing talent like his not being realized, for whatever reason, is very difficult. --------- San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney have been named Major League Baseball's Comeback Players of the Year, according to the league's official Twitter feed.

Kali Z. Fasteau: The wonderful uncompromising saxophonist & composer David S. Ware left his earthly form yesterday, after a very long grueling fight for his life. Blessings to him in his next life.

interview "Can you talk a little about the scene that you grew up in, and about some of the musicians that had an impact on you? The Philadelphia jazz scene is very deep in tradition. When I say deep, I mean, when I first started learning to play jazz, I was actually a violinist and violist. I studied classical violin and viola growing up, but until I got into the jazz scene, I didn’t realize the richness that was in Philly. You had Shirley Scott, the great organist and pianist who lived in Philly and played at this place Ortlieb’s all the time. You had Mickey Roker, who is probably one of the most recorded drummers of the 60′s, with Dizzy Gillespie and that whole generation of musicians. He’s on all those albums. And there were so many other musicians around, like Bootsie Barnes, like musicians who’d played in Philly Joe Jones’s band, who’d played with McCoy Tyner, who’d played with John Coltrane. There was such a richness, so much history, so much to be learned from just being in the city. It was a goldmine of jazz. It was not second-hand or from a recording, it was straight from the source. Like, “I played with this cat, I played with that cat. This is how it’s done, period.” Sid Simmons was another one. I say he’s a teacher of mine, although I’ve never directly taken a lesson from him. My first jazz piano teacher was actually Shirley Scott, and the second one was a pianist who lived up here, Stephen Scott. But I’d never taken directly from Sid. He played at this place Ortlieb’s, Tuesday and Thursday, and I went religiously. We would sit down and talk and he would show me things in between sets, talk about comping. I watched him religiously – how he comped, his style of comping, his style of playing, and he always sounded like himself. Always sounded like Sid, one of the few people, to this day, I knew who could comp like that. He was such a great cat — I was in college, and Philadelphia’s tricky to get around at night, [he'd say] “Get in the car, make sure you make it to the jazz club, and I’ll make sure to get you home.” I just started calling him my teacher, because it’s a lot more about, not just music, but life, understanding it and being humble, and all these things. It’s something that’s very rare. I don’t see that as much up here in New York because it’s such a dense scene; there isn’t as much of the “elder helping the young cat coming up,” vibe, which was something I took advantage of wholeheartedly when I lived in Philly all those years."
