  1. I have absolutely no dog in this hunt but maybe the Jays having home field will keep the Dodgers at bay. If forced to choose at gunpoint I'd rather not have the Dodgers win. But I really don't GAF and might even manage not to see a single pitch the rest of the way.
  2. Any way you slice it House Warmin' is a great record. I did in fact purchase s second copy once - the Nothin But Soul issue - at a record convention but it wasn't overpriced and as memory serves, I think it sounded better than my first copy, which was one of those black and white Argo reissues. As for why no Ammons mention it seems pretty obvious to me that he was a Prestige recording artist and this was Argo. Pretty sure that after he helped make Prestige such a successful label that Weinstock kept him as a contracted performer.
  3. I think I am just a hair younger than the original Kiss cohort but really right there, just a few years after they hit big. HATED HATED HATED them. Might have been the target demo but had no use or interest in guys dressed up like that or why anyone would be attracted to that. "Beth", however, was a pretty song.
  4. Sad news I missed from last week: https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/mike-greenwell-dies I never realized Greenwell finished his career having walked 100 times more than he struck out. That's a good hitter (.300+ lifetime average told you that too). As for the postseason, I can't recall if there has been road teams winning the first two games in both LCS ever before. Brewers and Jays have their work cut out for them.
  5. Aggie, this reminds me of something I feel compelled to do here in Florida. My wife and I used to watch Bar Rescue and sometime after we arrived in Plant City, there was a bar just to the west of us where a shooting took place. So every time I drive past that location (even now when the building is long gone, replaced by a quick lube company) I say in my best Jon Taffer voice, "Two people were shot to death in your bar ... and you're failing!"
  6. I can only imagine what a "Sludge" band is. I do hope people clicked on the link, I am not a sailor or particularly interested in the subject but did find the article interesting and worth ten minutes. As for Lightfoot parodies, there is only this:
  7. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/arts/edmund-fitzgerald-gordon-lightfoot.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tE8.o8Rl.LbaN2a01PVJh&smid=url-share
  8. I'm a palate cleanser like liquid drano.
  9. Well I am sure Felser will ask for December but there's no way to artfully combine name and month so ...
  10. That's exciting news!
  11. I never noticed especially slow connections and right now, my browser if flying from page to page.
  12. Doubtful - that tune is on the "Standards I don't need to hear ever again" list.
  13. When it was bases loaded I turned away, was sure he was saving the worst performance of the year for the playoffs. I did come back to the broadcast for the last two outs, after switching channel with my eyes covered and slowly realizing that he had gotten the first out and it was still 3-1.
  14. Obvious key for Game 2 is going to be the Sox making Rodon work and work to get him out of the game and get into the Yankee bullpen. For the Sox and Cubbies sake, I do like the odds in 3 game post-season playoffs for the game 1 winner to advance. No wonder Cora rode Crochet and Chapman so hard.
  15. Sorry Met fans but $350 million to one player just doesn't buy what it used to .... <green smilie here> (and its all the better that Francona is the manager of the team that benefits from the Mets largesse. In all seriousness, the Sox have their work cut out for them, and so do the Cubs but its nice to be able to watch October baseball with an interest deeper than "Die Yankees, Die". And @Patrick - what they accomplished this season is quite remarkable, whatever happens. They didn't just beat September deficit - they obliterated it. I hope the magic continues.
  16. Hearing about this book with NYC Jazzmen, I am curious if Percy France could be anywhere in there. Here's a snip from the Hot Doggett LP, it's the earliest photo I have of him - everything else from the 70s-80s when he was 50+
  17. Do you understand why it is that Jomboy seems to think the box on the broadcast is not the box that would be used for challenges? Is the official challenge going to be different from the result you see with the naked eye watching TV? It's very confusing to me and doesn't make much sense. (And it has to be said that any ump missing 25 calls - 2 challenges a game per team won't fix that.)
  18. I am sold so I just grabbed the lowest cost copy on amazon of the Sandke. Last year and into this year I have been finding and greatly enjoying those Moss CDs on the label. Heartily recommended.
  19. All seems logical now but how is a copy leaking to a European seller and before any peep from Mosaic? I didn't even think they went to production until after a pre-sale period.
  20. So that was earlier this year ... did Mosaic issue a set and not make an announcement? Or is this some sort of early reviewer copy, before they even hint at a release schedule?
  21. Harvard: Professor Whose Specialty is "Honesty" Falsified Data, Got Fired, then Falsified Excel Page to Claim She Didn't Falsify Data In the First Place
  22. Too weird! and of course that Mosaic release number is fake ... I am online friends with Michael Steinman who supposedly wrote the booklet. I should reach out to him.
