If you’re buying a cd for .50 or $1, is it really worth the bother?

It’s the way they teach baseball in the minors these days. They’re looking for power guys, both hitting and pitching. That is why you rarely see hitters change their approach after they have two strikes. Although I’m not a Yankee fan, when one of the NY teams are in the playoffs, the area is a bit more alive and when the Yankees exit, things grow a bit quieter and you realize that it’s the end of summer (LCS and WS notwithstanding) and that winter is not far off and the restlessness you have inside of you for watching a game, for hearing John and Suzyn (if you’re a Yankee fan) or Gary, Ron and Keith (if you’re a Metropolitans fan), won’t be stilled until the snow disappears and spring appears.

Just started this.

Just finished reading this. It is a continuation of his earlier book, Uncertain Glory, which took place during the Spanish Civil War. Winds of the Night takes place during the Franco era and shows the hopelessness of that era as the characters struggle to survive in it.

I like Helio. I saw him once. Also have one of his albums, Trios.

Kimbrel has very poor command tonight. How long can they go with him. Well, he got it done.

I think Jazz Wax has done a couple of columns on the topic but I couldn’t find them.

Why do you think they need a new hitting coach? Because they’re HR happy and over reliant on the HR? i have a feeling momentum is changing; the Boston bullpen is now in.

It’s only the 5th inning David. You and other Yankee fans know better but wouldn’t better starting pitching be the missing key?

You might enjoy this one.

I think he must be joking because he’s not part of the crew umpiring this series CC likes Angel. When Angel is behind the plate, CC is 3-1.

If it offends, I have no issue with deleting the photo and just indicating text.

Yes, it’s Chiaroscuro. I received an email from CD Japan a couple of months ago. I purchased this one and the Mary Lou. The price was right, only $14.75 US. I hadn’t focused on the cover but that obviously wouldn’t fly today. I’m only a few cuts in but on My Funny Valentine there is a bit of flute.

Richard Wyands, Lynn Seaton and Winard Harper. Frank Foster, Flip Phillips and Jimmy Heath make guest appearances.

Agreed, and I hope nothing said here will result in the Forum being shut down.

This is the classic problem when you have regulators regulating themselves. It's not possible because it's a conflict of interest. If you and your fellow mods can't see it, then we have a problem that goes beyond this thread but affects the entire Forum itself. If you are calling bs, I suggest you take a long look in the mirror because that's where the bs is emanating from. Based on your post and Larry's stance to take any action, you have sacrificed your right to be a moderator and it's time for a new one.

That’s why we’re here but we wouldn’t be having this conversation if the rules were properly enforced since this is supposed to be a political free forum.

There is a major beat down this evening going on so far. About the only good news is that the Yankees can score in bunches. However, 10 runs is a lot to make up.

It seems we have one rule for mods, another for the rest of us.

I don’t want to be mean to Indians fans, who are probably very unhappy right now, but it’s like the Astros swatted them aside.

I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said that the US and Great Britain are two peoples divided by a common language.

Sturm und drang, as the article you quoted Steve, can also mean storm and stress and I think this country is going through that. However, I understand your point. Although some of these photos may be good photography, they are political in nature. You cannot divorce the two. It's like being a little bit pregnant; you either are or you aren't. There's no halfway. The rules are enforced to the fullest or they aren't. There should ne no halfway.

I think anything that references our political situation in anyway whatsoever should be off limits; we get assaulted with it 24 hours a day. This forum should be a safe haven from our daily sturm und drang.
