  1. Still haven't gotten the knack of always doing that the right way at the right time, myself. Good luck!

  3. You ever get into Wayne's Super Nova? Some of the same tunes, interpreted much differently. Either way, those are great tunes. And how about Side Two of this album? Something even more more different!
  4. Dude - I'm old enough to recall when there were no playoffs - you either won your league and went to the WS, or else you didn't. I was more than ok with that, and viewed the whole division/playoff thing with a raised eyebrow. But ok, expansion had made the need for some sort of league-al bifurcation understandable enough. Same thing with the three-division/wildcard split, although..not so much. Give the best-record team a first round bye or some such. The whole "crapshoot" thing bugs me as a guy who likes thrills and all that, but who also believes that bringing too much "chance" into the mix of a championship series changes the meaning of the word "championship". It's like, you can play fairly crappily most of the year and then "get hot" in time to squeak in, and then"stay hot" long enough to "matter", and really, how much arbitrariness is there going to be? Expand the regular season or something...but no $$$ to be had there, at least not as much. And now, two wild card teams playing one game to see which one will be THE wild card team? I'm kinda like really not into that, not at all. Too much spectacle, and no real; justification for it other than cheap (and cheapening) profit.
  5. Whoa...leaving it out they are...not cool...
  6. 50 years ago, Tom Cheney struck out 21 http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/11088/50-years-ago-tom-cheney-struck-out-21 Took him 16 innings, but that makes it more impressive!

  8. It was moved (by request) to here:
  9. Virginia Alou (the Alou Brother's mother) José Rojas (the Alou Brother's father) The Rojas/Alou sisters, Maria & Virginia Find out all about it here: http://sabr.org/biop...person/b79ab182 I had no idea that "Alou" was the maternal name, and was given in error (instead of Rojas) to Felipe by American baseball people (Wikki claims it was the Giants scout who signed him who got the name wrong), or that Matty & Jesus went along with the error...just because. They should have been the Rojas brothers. Wonder what Cookie would have had to say about that? Roberto Clemente didn't like "Bob", though. Gee, wonder why?
  10. Yes, please. Thread was created here in error.

  12. The internet is (or was?) your friend on this one...iic, it almost sounds like an audience recording and is a little aimless. I had high hopes, but...
  13. Dentistry...of filling decaying cavities and building crowns of gold... I see one Thursday morning, in fact. Thanks for the reminder?

    being there, doing that...just don't lose them!
  17. Kenton used "Adventures" more than he did "Innovations", I think..."Renoventures"...but then he used "Artistry" so much early on, so...combine the three..."Renoventistry In Jazz"...nobody will know what it means, so they'll have to read the liner essay to find out.

    Most, maybe all, of the Muse albums were released as Muse CDs before Muse folded up tent. Both the CDs and the LPs do turn up as cutouts on occasion and can be found.

  21. Feeling extra more bad for the Astros...when I was a kid, if you got an Astros game on Sunday TV, it was, like, one of five or six such chances you'd get all season. So by god, you WATCHED. Now... http://blog.chron.com/sportsmedia/2012/09/weekend-nielsens-average-start-for-texans-record-low-for-astros/ Give me a sad, it does.
