I suspect that Manhattan real estate has proven to be more profitable than Jack McDuff...or Ted Niugent, for that matter.

Recently checked out Roger Kellaway's Prestige side & noticed that it was produced by Mr. Futterman...Jack McDuff, Roger Kellaway, and Ted Nugent? Also just found this: http://www.flierwire.com/dsp_detail.cfm?pr_id=340

Back in the day, this album used to be a portal to the other dimension known as the cutout bins...

I was watching an episode of Have Gun, Will Travel that had Susan Silo in it, was taken by those eyes, had never heard of her, did a Google search, and voila!

Sorry to hear about this. A fine talent indeed.

I'd never heard that one before, but had heard another one, after an ugly Dodger loss, that went on seemingl, forever, and was freakin' hilarious, it was so off the chain.

I'd not assume that, but DFW to Bentonville, Arkansas is a quick flight (3 hours, I've heard, I know you can drive it in about 4 1/2-5 from Plano, add about another hour for Arlington), and apparently both Mr. & Mrs. Lee's parents still live in or around there.

Some local media "insiders" (such as they are...) are speculating/reporting that the Rangers' trump card on Lee might be years offered, that they're willing to risk "too long" (i.e. - 5-6 years) of a contract in order to have him here for the next 3-4 years. If that's true, combine that with the lifestyle-preference/quality-of-life issue as well as the potential to become a True Texas Legend (which basically is equivalent to being a made man in the Mafia, you're gold no matter what you do for/with the rest of your life...), and you have a dynamic that reduces the Yankee Slam Dunk Factor down to a "we shall see", which certainly still allows for money ultimately talking louder than anything else...

You mean nobody Bleeds Dodger Blue™ anymore?

We shall see.

I think the Rangers should be making a move to groom Vlad for a front-office position. From all accounts he accepts, and is quite successful at, serving as a role model/positive influence in the clubhouse, especially for the clubs' younger Latino players.

When did the wood change? And from what to what? I mean, I was used to seeing broken bats every few weeks or so...

Sonny Lester?

Oh yeah, I gotta see that! What's the deal with MLBN anyway? We've had it on our menu for over a year now, but I always though that it was a premium service that was like the NBA package - that it was a portal to team-specific pay services or something like that. Now i found out that, no, it's not a premium service (at least not here) and no, it's not team specific, and yes, it does go 24/7/365, so...YEAH! Is it (probably) just because I live in a MLB market that this is not a premium channel, or what? And one more thing, please - not having really locked into the game for a few years now until this August, what's up with all the broken bats? Is the wood that much crappier these days? Seems kind of out-of-control to me...

On the subject of "end of season shock"...about 2-3 minutes after the end of Game 5, there was still most of the night's crowd still seated in the Ballpark. A spontaneous "Let's go Rangers" chant began & soon had taken over the crowd. It lasted for a good 45-60 seconds & was one of the most moving collective public displays I've ever experienced, a mass "thank you" combined with a request for a curtain call combined with a seeming belief that if we tried, really tried, hard enough, we could get one more game, one more inning, hell, just one more pitch out of the season. Of course, that was impossible, but I tell you, I was "nearly" moved to tears by the sheer sudden finality of it all. Not even when I was into one team (mine or anybody else's) for an entire season did it hit that hard. I used to think that the Bart Giamatti thing was just a tad ripe, and no doubt it is, but still, it's hitting home now:
