  1. Let me say this again - there is no guarantee that the Rangers make the playoffs. The Angels have been staying close in the standings recently by playing consistently well against bad teams while the Rangers have been playing usually well against good teams. If this trend continues for the rest of the season (and well it may), this weekend with the Angels playing the Yankees is the last series against a really good team that the Angles have. If the Yanks are too tired to do what on paper they should be able to do without too much effort (i.e. rip the wings off the Angles and roast them over the campfire), then the race stays close up until the closing Texas @ Anaheim three-game series, and that could go either way, depending on how pumped up everybody is, as well as how well the Rangers stay focused and disciplined at bat and on the field. And there ain't no guarantee of that... Dan was right back in April, talking about how starting 0-8 (or was it 0-6?) was digging a mathematical hole that would become apparent at season's end. Similarly, between the stretch with Hamilton & Cruz out and that mid-summer stretch where there were just too many brain farts causing all-but-won games to be lost, the Rangers are finding themselves now in a race far closer than they need to against an Angels team that right now looks at the math, the schedule, and their roster and says "uh, we can do this", and they just may well can. All 162 games count equally in the final total, right? This "ah, it's early" nonsense is just that - nonsense. So c'mon Yankees (just for this weekend!), and c'mon Rangers. Get in that zone and don't fuck it up. Don't look like there's going to be any help from anybody but your own selves, so...there it is. Imagine a Los Angeles of Anaheim vs Detroit ALCS...would that be...upsetting to The Baseball Establishment, or what!

  4. Seems like, semms like they take the gig as a resume-padder and not much else, not until there's a problem they can't run away from, and then they either bail or "act". But I suspect they know what the game is before taking it, most of them.

  9. The rings are more translucent than any image I've ever seen before. Pretty breathtaking.

  11. Ok, it just seems to me that the boards of today usually do what they're brought in to do, which is to get rewarded for not getting in the way, until the obviousness reaches critical mass, and then they....ACT!!!
  12. Let's face it - our sexual urges are rooted in the need to spread seed. Now that eons have passed and too much seed has been spread and borne fruit, the need now is to spread seed without fear of reproducing. Being either gay or a jazz musician will take care of that. Being a gay jazz musician is, like, doubly blessing the planet with your presence. Selah.
  13. The Brewers are fine. Believe it! Yankees losing two straight to Baltimore before taking on the Angels in Anaheim makes me nervous. Already tired + jet lag? Uh-oh... And unless and/or until things cool off, I think the Tigers should be making a lot of people nervous right now. Some teams catch that wave and ride it all the way home.

  17. Me, I'll never find fault with true self-defense, no matter what the means, be it spiritual calmness or pulling a piece on some joker who aims to hurt you. This Volunteered Slavery nonsense has gone on long enough. People will do what you let them get by with doing.

  19. Seeking understanding, not argument, but...please reconcile "weak" and "inept" with a successful looting of the US (hell, world, even) economy? Seems to me like they got their shit pretty well together....
  20. It would have been even more refreshing if she had called them "Yayhoos". Be a little clever with that shit. As it is, it just seems like all concerned need a big yawny "fuck you!"
  21. Maybe?
  22. True "pay to play" is where you pay no matter what the door is. This is more like...payback if you don't draw. Not entirely unfair if the terms are mutually understood & agreed to in advance. Having said that, do you think anybody would have pulled this kind of shit on, say, Mingus? There's a reason why some people carry guns. I myself have gotten paid on one or two gigs thanks to bandleaders who did. Sure, that's ugly, but it's also reality. Sometimes it's play or get played.
  23. Ain't that the truth... Maybe check the floor for stains from the runoff,, though...I'd wager that Bird's urine might have had some pretty strong...whatever it is that runs through urine that makes if funky like that...
  24. Show of hands for everybody whose wife has at least once complained that the sucking's lasting too long?
