  2. Proof yet again that Cosmic Justice is the best justice of all!
  3. A fellow obstructor of justice:

  5. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917055,00.html Good company, eh?
  6. That's a lot more fun to watch than it is to just listen to.
  7. "Puddy Cat" was the answer record to "Surfin' Bird".
  8. Too many men left at third, Mark Lowe turned in a gloriously gutless relief appearance to squander a lead just as soon as we could get one, and hey, the Tigers got a team. But this is two games in a row where we couldn't kick into that other gear and keep it there. Pretty much sucks, that does.
  9. Top of the 1st at that! What a way to lose a player. The Angels and A's should thank their lucky stars, the Rangers looked like they were going to run away with the division and go wire-to-wire this year. This will bring them back to the pack a little bit. OTOH, David Murphy is frequently regarded as "the best everyday player who's not an everyday player", so it's not like the Rangers w/o Hamilton should be expected to take a giant drop in either offense or defense, especially now that Beltre is starting to hit the ball better. And Murphy does have some glove. The main thing is the pitching. So far, it's been significantly better than anybody had a right to expect. That's why we've gotten off to such a fine start, and that's what I refuse to get comfortable about. Lots of potential in that staff, but this is the year to shit or get off the pot with that.
  10. I don't understand the question.
  11. ...but it's the one they use. Lots of dark & stark, moody stuff going on here, like a David Lynch soundtrack from a movie David Lynch probably made in his head when he was a kid, if he had access to these records. http://canopycanopycanopy.com/podcasts/23-time-is-endless Songlist is as follows: Tommy Burchard and his Cordovox, "Romero Sunset" (7" 45) Buddy Collette Septet, "Tennin (Polynesian Suite)," Polynesia LP Big Black, "The Snakecharmer" (7" 45) Noro Morales and his Quintet, "Saona," No Blues Noro LP Gene Sikora & the Irrationals, "Tanganyika" (7" 45) The Galens, "Chinese Lanterns" (7" 45) Bill Osborn, "Bamboo and Rice" (7" 45) Patti Kim, "Johnny Guitar," Famous Theme Songs LP The Wailers, "Driftwood" (7" 45) The Charades, "Flamingo" (7" 45) The Caribs, "Miserlou," Caribbean Capers LP Larry O'Keefe, "Love's Dream" (7" 45) The Vaqueros, "Desert Wind" (7" 45) Orpheus Four, "Caverns" (7" 45) Saori Yuki, "Whispering Rose" (7" 45) Lalo Schifrin, "The Snake's Dance," Lalo = Brilliance: The Piano of Lalo Schifrin LP The Madmen of Note, "Peppermint Fink" (7" 45) The Fabulous Pearls, "Jungle Bunny" (7" 45) Roscoe Weathers, "Penny Whistle Montuna" (7" 45) Lee Golden and Trio Tres Bien, "Fire In My Heart" (7" 45) The Blue Jeans, "Moon Mist" (7" 45) Marshall and Wess, "Time (Is Endless)" (7" 45) The Shelltones, "Blue Castaway" (7" 45) Carmen Lesay, "Sunset Mood" (7" 45) The Sound Breakers, "Marooned" (7" 45) Jeri Simpson, "In My Black Lace" (7" 45) Jerry Sun, "Taboo," Personally Yours: The Exotic Jazz of Jerry Sun LP If nothing else, this is probably the mist opiated version of Miserlou you're ever going to hear.
  12. Well. I usually wait until the audience has a chance to get settled in, but if you say so, ok!
  13. Looks like Mary Osborne to me.
  14. Hell yeah. I've had enough of fixed increments, fuck that nonsense, for really-o.
  15. Then again, as my son just now said, "Oh well, David Murphy every day." Indeed.
  16. Yeah, initial reports were just a strained shoulder, now we got a freakin' fracture & 6-8 weeks on the DL...that sucks. Hamilton's been hitting the ball well the last week & his defense is always a plus. But this team thus far has shown to be quite comfortable with the sort of semi-revolving cast that Wash has been using so far, so...it'll keep on revolving. And this team does have character and Hamilton was on the DL last year too. What really sucks, though, is that the play he broke it on was something some overenthusiastic hairbrained kid would do just to see if he could get away with it - Hamilton's on third, one out, Beltre pop fouls it about halfway between the plate and third just a few yards deep off the line, the pitcher and catcher both go for it, nobody's covering home, so after it's caught by the pitcher, Hamilton tags and runs like hell towards home. A little further up the line or a little further back and maybe, maybe he's got a shot, but this time, no way. Pitcher flips to the catcher who's already running towards home, Josh slides headfirst, hard, bangs into the catcher's shins, double play, side retired, no runs in the inning, and your MVP out for 6-8 weeks. WTF? I mean, I get excited by reckless abandon as much as anybody, but this was just a little too much of it in every way. Oh well, you gotta play ball no matter what, and on this team, one monkey don't stop no show. But there's one less monkey in the barrel to have more fun than now. I just hope it's not one of those "ill-fated" years where everybody ends up hurt, because this has been shaping up to be a really fun season so far...
  17. I'm taking nothing for granted about the Texas Rangers, other than that on any given day they're one of the scariest teams in baseball one way or the other. So far it's been mostly one way, but I've seen too much of the other to even begin to contemplate the possibility of maybe possibly relaxing for even one inning of one game. But my god, so far it's been tempting.
  18. Prime Time started 30 minutes earlier back then, remember?
  19. CJ Wilson not sharp all day, boneheaded careless baserunning blunders early (Adrian Beltre should not be trying to stretch a double into a triple, EVER,, but DAMN does he have some glove!), a Tigers team that wouldn't quit, and of course, the magical Darren O'Day to single-handedly blow a tie game in the ninth...just not our day.
  20. This is a true loss...much love & respect here. RIP, and thank you, sir.

  22. The B-Side of "Valeri" I swear to god, hitting there was a time when trippy shit seemed happy, healthy, and actually normal. That was a fun time.
