Get yourself to an ENT as soon as possible. I suffer from bad ears, imcluding suffering from tinnitis. If my ears are blocked, I won't get on a plane.

Thanks for that, Brad. I don't recall listening to her in the wee hours, but heard her call Mike and Dog a few times back in the day. I thought you might like. She used to call into Steve Somers when he did the overnight, "talking s-p-o-r-t-s under the covers," as he used to put it.

Doris From Rego Park I don't know how many of you listen to sports radio but WFAN is the grand-daddy of sports radio, or at least one of the first, started back in 1987. There would be many a night in the early days when I couldn't sleep and listen to the station at night. Well, one of the constant callers was Doris Bauer, known to listeners of WFAN, whether you rooted for the Mets or the Yankees, as Doris From Rego Park. She would call very late and due to a medical condition would caught a lot. That is what, in fact, made her distinctive. Doris died in 2003 but just in time for spring training a fan has written a song about her and there is an article about his paean to her in today's New York Times. The article includes the song. Great little article and brought a tear to my eye. This may not mean much to many of you who don't live in the New York or listen to WFAN but to those who do, it will bring back memories of Doris.

For a second, I thought you guys were talking about some new hair product

Financial news on Mets ownership is getting worse: no more loans from MLB. Unless they find somebody who will buy a minority share quickly, they may run out of cash and MLB may have to take it over. I can't see somebody buying a minority share unless it's coupled with an option to buy the remainder. For the life of me I don't know why you need a house that big but I guess if you have it, why not. I would prefer to have a house along the beach but that's just me

We were blessed with three great center fielders in the 50s, all World Series champs. I saw Duke play when he was with the Mets, but not in his heyday.

I've got a feeling it may be awhile for the Hawk set but, hey, it's good news anyway.

All Cds on hold have been shipped and removed from the list. Thanks all. Still a few good Cds left.

I'm curious about the status myself. Probably have some of the sessions but this is a good way to support Mosaic.

Just listened to The Brass Giants the other day. What a joy to listen to. Probably the first time I've listened to it since this thread started

My pleasure. Hope you enjoy 'em David, Just replied.

Just sent you a pm T.D. Thanks.

I hope his parents sue the ass off the police department and the school. My son has ADD and the school, although providing requisite services and such, was only interested in the star students. I'm so glad he's out of that god damn school system.

Assuming he's vindicated or no further charges brought, the amount of Tours he won is impressive by any standard and would have to make him, at least in my book, one of the notable athletes of our time.

Gattuso is so aggressive that sometimes I think he should see the yellow card before he even steps on the field. Gattuso always seems like that, always on edge. I thought the Gunners were the better team for the last 30 minutes or so. At least they won. Losing or tying at home would have been a blow.

I think the one by the Garden is staying open.

Sounds like Chuck and Uptown had a less than friendly parting. Too bad

Since late last year, they haven't been getting that many books in because they can't pay the publishers and the deal they offered was rejected by them. Hopefully, the reorg case will allow the books to be stocked again.

Isn't that four words? Only two words that count are "Play Ball!"

Spring training games start in about three weeks

I looked through their catalogue and they just seem like rip-offs, EU law notwithstanding. For example, if you look at Sonny Rollins, you see some OJC/Concord albums, which should still be available. I suppose it's not worth the effort for Concord to bring a claim, if such is possible.

Based on what Jim says, I'll be cringing when they have the Super Bowl in 2014 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Fortunately, I live 45 minutes away but if just your ordinary game days are any indication, oh my god! My son and I went to the last Jets regular season game. Parking was a joke. When the SB comes, Route 3 and Rutherford and environs will be one place to avoid.
