But last year we were down 3-0. This year we're 1-1, which essentially means having home field advantage for a five game series. At least that's how my son looks at it, and I can't say that he's wrong. All I can say for sure is that the Elvis/Ian combo has made my heart dance with delight numerous times this season, and tonight was no exception!

No... Hint - there is a connection with the previous/previously identified "guest".

But wait, there's more! And still more! Help yourself!

I mean, really?

This series uses original album cover images. it's almost "pornographic" It's a like a game hunter's trophy room, something else that gives me the creeps. As for how long the body has to be dead, Dickens, etc. let me put it this way - there's a difference between buying even a cheap reprint and paying money for some pages out of somebody's Xerox machine. Just my opinion.

Not a musician. TV staple.

Early on, he had a tendency to play flat, actually.

Only sixteen years....

Guess who?

Fripp in a trio!

I'd rather "steal" free FLAC files from sharity blogs than pay for stuff like this.

Postmarked for life!

Three stooges in profile!

Looking at that whole series, it just creeps me out.

Zorn in general often leaves me feeling that if this is all that's left to be done, then I'm glad, delighted, even, that he's doing it so well, but, really, maybe we ought to all look for something else to be doing, maybe, sure, why not?. In other words, I can like him a whole lot more than I can love him. And "masterpiece"? Relative to what? I use that word myself, but, really...does it mean anything concrete most of the time? I'm beginning to wonder... I mean, I've very often very much enjoyed his work. But he seems to me to be more of a bass fisherman using a depth-finder than an old-school whale-harpooner. Sign of the times, perhaps.

Mount Rushmoreicism!

Less-informed Rangers fans (of which there are many, and boy are they loud...) are bitching about how come we didn't get to Carpenter when he obviously didn't have his best stuff. Well DUH. That's why a true ace is an ace - they know how to get you out when they don't have their best stuff, or even particularly good stuff. And is this about as well-called a strike zone as you can get, or what? http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/zoneTrack.php?month=10&day=19&year=2011&game=gid_2011_10_19_texmlb_slnmlb_1%2F&prevDate=1019

Exclamation Pointism!

3-2 against the staff ace, with his minions coming in dealing from strength? Far worse scenarios ran through my head than that one, so let's play ball tomorrow and see if we can't rattle thing around a little bit more. What I saw this evening was a lot of wiley veteran nibble-nabbling, and the results say same. Can they all do that? I think not. I sure hope not!

Still more trees!

Try harder, motherfuckers, try harder.

Lots of trees!

Cattleage!

It's autumnal in St. Louis...temperatures could get into the mid-lower 30s bfore the games over tonight...hold on to those hammies!
