Gotta say... after Game 3, I was afraid these Rangers were un-mightily morphing into the Cleveland Indians of the 1990s (and, while I can't claim Cleveland fandom, I REALLY wanted those Cleveland teams to win a championship). But I feel pretty good about Colby Lewis taking the mound for a potential close-out game.

Toy piano.

Elmo's red extrapolated + fanged charmer.

60's trio, arranged in a triangle, notable jacket.

Jackie Mac at a rakish angle.

Tony La Russa continues to torment the Rangers franchise. If TEX loses this thing, I'm holding Doug Rader personally responsible.

More multiple heads.

One-legged oddity.

Lightnin'!

Feet of flight + visible electromagnetic spectrum!

Another bottle.

I prefer the adventurousness of LORCA and STARSAILOR, but BLUE AFTERNOON creates a wonderful atmosphere (I also think it contains some of Buckley's strongest songs: "Happy Time", "I Must Have Been Blind", "Blue Melody", "Cafe".) "Simpler" material, in some sense (IIRC, Larry Becket did not contribute any lyrics to this project), but Buckley probably never sang with quite this much grace.

Very nice. But no STARSAILOR?

Another stocked bar.

Bowler.

Cropped close-up of major African-American pianist.

Gratuitous denim crotch-ery.

Moody, watery reflections.

More classic painting style emulation / alteration of classic images:

More anthropomorphized lemons (I'm out of lemonade).
