  2. Who?
  3. I did buy the LP box on issue...glad that it's not obsolete...would like the DVD someday, maybe...
  4. There was also a 4LP box set. More material on the CDs, though, right?
  5. Hawk seems to have had that effect on most people...I know his music seems to have that effect on me...just so regal, something you can respectfully go a different place from, but nothing you'd ever want to challenge, much less deny. Can't do it. It's just too fundamentally right.
  6. That band would make me realize that mornings are never going to be my friend. If I didn't already know it already, that is...
  7. Can't see either, just see the words "Posted Image". Maybe it b/c I'm on my work PC.
  8. Texaco, maker of Havoline motor oil ConAgra foods, current owner of the Wesson Oil brand name Dizzy Gillespie, compser of "Con Alma"
  9. Clue: an American better known to Brits like me than to Americans. I can't see the picture.
  10. ...punishment before verdict, that is...
  11. Maybe, if they could get value...no real traction though. But Michael got righteously PO'd & disrespected about Beltre coming in to play 3B and him being expected to be a DH/Super-Utility infielder, allegedly demanding a trade, to which the org said, no, we need you, really, we do. And so they have. During the Cruz/Hamilton absence, it was pretty much Micheal Young and Adrian Beltre carrying the team. Now, with AB out for what's probably going to total 6 weeks (OUCH), Micheal's the everyday 3B. Beltre he's not, not with the glove, but the neat thing to watch is how the two have become good friends and teammates. Young now will readily admit that Beltre is a significant defensive upgrade and an invaluable addition to the offense. It's also easy to see that the plan to use him as a Super Utility infielder, has worked out well, with him giving everybody the chance to take a break every now and then. Also not hard to see that having him as DH has very much agreed with him offensively as well. In the end, professionalism came to respect professionalism, skill came to admire skill, serious player embraced serious player, and Michael Young's reputation as The Face Of The Franchise remains not only intact, but enhanced, all of it pretty much honestly so.
  12. http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110807&content_id=22915306&vkey=news_tex&c_id=tex&partnerId=ed-5129670-216007610 Kudos to Michael Young on the occasion this evening of reaching career hit 2000. I'm told that his is the third fastest pace ever for a RH hitter to hit this milestone, and the 11th fastest of anybody.. Much love, and more respect than ever, especially for putting the friction of the off-season behind him and going on to answer whatever call has come to him (and they have been many and diverse). Great player, class act. Michael Young, y'all, Michael Young.
  13. Two, but just by a teence, and fully stipulating that with out the original, the sequel would never have been conceived/made.

  16. Thanks for getting it! It was just a joke, nothing more.
  17. ...as in "Mumbles", as in the tune, as in if he did that in his autobiography, not a single world would be readable, as in it's a joke.
  18. Beltre reaggravates hamstring, possibly out for three more weeks. Saddest faces not sad enough.
  19. I would guess Marlo Thomas, but whoever it is needs to be told that after a point, facelifts just make you look weird...
  20. Sure hope he doesn't mumble all the way through.
