  1. http://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/kidney-stones-treatment-overview I don't know how large Mr. Harrison's stone is. Colby Lewis' stones, otoh, seem to have been shrinking to the point of disappearance.
  2. It's not the chick that inspires the reaction, it's the dog...is this a record for dogs whose owners are lesbians? I don't get it....
  3. Speaking of life-suffering pain inflicted by objects smaller than a normal human head, Matt Harrison has yet to pass his kidney stone. And is still scheduled to start today. Ron Hunt was approached to fill in, but unambiguously declined.
  4. Really? That one looks like somebody who fell from a hotel window and landed on a big rock. Maybe it's the height from which the picture was taken, but I've seen enough topless dead chicks on rocks to last a lifetime. The Parisian one...skinny exhibitionist hooker looking for attention through her mouth. Again, seen enough of those, etc.
  5. Outrageous and Courageous: The Myth and Legend of Shecky Greene http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2011/06/the-legend-of-shecky-greene.html#more
  6. I bet Grant was playing this guitar:
  7. You've been shot? Ron Hunt feels you pain, takes your base, and says he'll be here for your next AB if you need him.
  8. Ron Hunt never winced. Or slapped. Ron Hunt might not have been a Hall-Of-Famer, but one other thing Ron Hunt was not was a punkass bitch. In this case, make mine Ron Hunt!
  9. I know I'm in the minority, but for all his ramblings, I still enjoy McCarver, Other than that.... We've long been blessed with good-to-great broadcasters here, but there was a minor insurrection at the beginning of this year when longtime cult hero Josh Lewin was replaced by the loveable but completely inexperienced (as in zero PBP background) John Rhadigan for Rangers TV 'casts. Poor Rhads, by all accounts a really nice guy and excellent studio host for pre/post-game shows didn't make it a third of the season before being respectfully but unambiguously removed from the role. One particularly irritating habit of his was referring to a ground rule double as an "automatic double", as if that was the actual term for it. I though it was just him (this being a guy who, among other fundamental knowledge gaps, appeared unaware that a bunted foul with two strikes was a strikeout), but then I heard another local guy doing it on MLB Tonight...it was either in Arizona or Colorado, I think. Is this term becoming acceptable now? Surely not!
  10. I thought it looked like it was raining in that picture! Here's the original advance press release, stating that in case of rain, the concert would be cancelled: http://www.moma.org/docs/press_archives/3484/releases/MOMA_1965_0060_59.pdf?2010
  11. Dirk reads! It's one of the several "unusual activities" he was asked about at this afternoon's presser, music being another. True story - a few years ago, a friend who will not be named here was playing a local gig, and Dirk's "people" came up, said that Dirk was thinking about coming by later on, had been taking sax lessons for a few months now, and could he sit in? And could the band play some easy tunes so Dirk would look good? My friends response is alleged to have contained more than a few f-bombs, the gist of it being that Dirk could sit in and be made to look good when the band could be allowed to take the court during gametime and be allowed to score at will. Also mentioned was the likelihood that the band would probably have a better chance at scoring sooner than Dirk would have at playing serious jazz. Dirk did not come by that night, but according to his comments today, he's been playing guitar for a long time now and seriously likes playing Zepplin & Stones tunes.
