  1. Well it is an exciting play but I don't think the audacity comes from being on your own (I think some managers have called it, surely Ozzie has the cojones). What's really audacious is the fact that its happening right in front of the pitcher, and the runner has to cover the same distance only in the amount of time it takes the pitcher to deliver the ball, rather than the delivery plus the throw across the diamond from the catcher.
  2. Wow. The NYT has more compassion than everyone who posted here combined.
  3. I haven't offered suggestions but I've followed this thread, keeping my fingers crossed. I know very well how attached we become to our children, er, animal companions.
  4. Make that three in a row to the D-Rays. Unless Damon is going to be on the shelf for two months, we're not good enough to put your team away, not with 40% of the starting rotation on the shelf (Clement & Wells), plus the sixth starter (DiNardo), plus using cast-offs from the Indians and KC. And Schilling and Beckett can't keep the ball in the park. And now we have one more against Tampa and three with the defending champions. Unless Tampa keeps it up against the Yanks, we could very well be out of first by the break.
  5. Also sorry to hear of your loss, Mike, and anyone interested in Bobby Forrester, you can find copies of his last recording, Organic Chemistry through Ebay Stores, and I imagine, Amazon as well. Forrester and David "Bubba" Brooks" (Tina's brother) jam at length on a bunch of standards. Forrester sounds great on this.
  6. Nothing I posted was political unless we've all been transported back 230 years.
  7. Had this sent to me. Very nice! I plan to spend the afternoon watching my recently arrived DVD copy of 1776, great viewing on our nation's birthday.
  8. And if that didn't work you'd just remind yourself how much you admire their politics.
  9. This has floated between collectors for a long time. I was offered a copy last year and started this thread which has a lot of info in it. Be advised that the sound sucks.
  10. I can't comment on sonic issues since I have an old vinyl copy but I have always recommended each of the Argo/Cadet sides LD cut.
  11. I was flipping around the channels this AM and it suddenly occured to me ... which came first, the Pink Panther movies or the Pink Panther animated character? I am guessing it was the movie, and I hope that Mancini got a lot of compensation because without his music, I don't think the animated show gets produced.
  12. Yes, that's where he died. Coroner described the 35 year old body as that of a 65 year old. As I understand it, for the soundtrack they extracted Bird solos and hired a new band to "play" with him.
  13. Tompkins definitely knew how to swing. I believe he's on a couple of Sweets Edison dates I have. RIP.
  14. Just take care of the Yanks next week, OK? The Sox really did a number on the Mets. They're still in a fog obviously. What other explanation could there be for Yankee relievers to shut them out allowing only one hit over the last five innings for a 2-0 victory? I did enjoy watching Dontrelle handcuff the Sox last night. Gotta give the Marlins a lot of credit. They decimate their team after each of their two World Series championships and they always come back with good young talent and a great competitive spirit. Well, its obvious that they got good young talent after this decimation, but last time they decimated the team, they lost what, 115 games? I wasn't at all surprised at the loss last night, with Dontrelle on the mound, Papi on the bench, and that awful Cleveland pitcher getting the start.
  15. Just take care of the Yanks next week, OK?
  16. Well there is a dedicated youtube thread ... Too bad the person didn't put up the whole video; its a cool one with Barney Kessel and KB. Gambit, one of those Lonehill type labels, has put this tune onto a Barney Kessel release, Live in Los Angeles that is quite nice for guitar fanatics.
  17. Thanks for the explanation, Andy. It took me a little while (I couldn't open with Quicktime directly, but when I tried to open the file, I used the list to choose Quicktime, and that worked) but well worth it! Seeing that makes me very curious to know if any video remains of Andrew Hill's appearance on that program. I have a reel-to-reel tape transfer that was marked: Andrew Hill Quintet “Live on Soul” WNET TV 2/11/71 Andrew Hill, piano, Woody Shaw, trumpet Carlos Garnett, tenor sax Victor Sproles, bass Roy Haynes, drums They played Grass Roots/Bayou Red.
  18. Why don't you THINK just a little bit for once? This is a board set up by a group of WORKING musicians who are trying to make something happen for themselves in a very tough industry/environment. Do you think they need to have people openly violating copyright laws on their site? I know what the problem here is: THINKING and WORKING are two activities that are completely alien to you.
  19. I don't understand why Couw feels the need to defend this guy. He cheated another board member. To me, that calls for virtual banishment in itself, not to mention all the other offensive tactics. I'd be livid if I got cheated by a board member; and would remind others of this fact. Trust is everything on this board, and I buy and sell a lot of stuff here. Well, to be honest, it gets a little annoying. Guy What gets annoying? The cheating? Or the constant puerile chatter from this man? No, what bothers Guy is the perpetual calling him out on the cheating and puerile chatter.
  20. Yes. I thought my post made it clear we have tickets for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. We'll see Wakefield and the super rookie, Jon Lester. Unfortunately that Indians reject goes for us tonite against D-Train, so I am almost expecting the winning streak to come to an end.
  21. Guilty as charged, Jury recommends one year in stir and $1,000 in fines for each of the 4 counts of public indecency. Bummer to be a judge in prison. I bet he hopes he doesn't encounter anyone he sentenced to time while there. If he's put in any facility tougher than medium security, prison's have policies in place for cops to keep them out of general population. I'm sure they'd automatically do the same thing with the judge.
  22. good one! Yeah, but I should have said, "One way or another, he'll be getting off."
