I'm nearly certain that Dorn said in one of those goofy liner notes that he has the Left Bank tapes and that more would be forthcoming. Of course that was before he went belly up yet again.

You'd have a better chance with Small on the hill than Chacon. The Sox pounded Chacon and I won't be at all surprised if the Angels do the same. Halos in four, and the Yankee drought goes another year longer. Between that and having the Division Championship streak snapped (do NOT tell me you're "champions" based on some silly tie-breaker, the records were exactly even and because of a stupid MLB rule, it wasn't decided on the field. That makes you co-champions) I'd say a Steinbrenner eruption might still be on the way.

Well, then y'all are just about due for another one, doncha think? That said, I'm far from counting y'all out either. Boston's a proven post season contender, and I'm sure that you guys are all drooling over the idea of a rematch of last year's ALCS. So, I have to hope that Freddy works his magic on the road again today. Either Dan or I will be talking shit in about 2.5 hours or so, methinks... ← As promised, my hat's off to you and your team. Good luck the rest of the way.

I got no problem with a show that cast Joely Fisher as her best friend:

I figure that's gotta be big in getting folks there for a one-off with a new band.

No, he's not happy but he's not that unhappy yet either. We've come back twice in four years from this very same situation ... so don't count us out yet. ← I don't want to count us out either. My emotions during that fifth inning Wednesday woke the kids and made the dog incontinent. Sure the Beaners came back but if I recall correctly they had a pitcher that is sitting it out in the DR with a banana daquiri right about now. ← True. But keep in mind that the weather looks pretty bad right now ... its possible that a fifth game could have Wells going on regular rest on Monday ... and that was part of how we made it through against the Yankees last year: rain allowed them to bring Pedro back for Game 5 on regular rest. BTW, the Sox have lost three straight only twice this season, and not since July 18.

I know the thrust of this thread has been "releases you can hear now" but I thought this was a pretty great find:

No, he's not happy but he's not that unhappy yet either. We've come back twice in four years from this very same situation ... so don't count us out yet.

Nice job, Agustin.

$20 right now, and if you're a Cadence subscriber, you take another $1 off. I got the CD the first week it was released through a Japanese website. Price was still pretty good. Definitely a worthy addition to the One For All discography.

Over a dozen studies, all flawed?

What exactly has been discredited? The evidence is overwhelming and as stated in the article, supported by a dozen studies. And just as the article says, so the fact that you haven't been effected doesn't mean that the risk is nonexistent. And it certainly does not discredit the statistical evidence that demonstrates the risk.

One game doesn't send you to the ALCS. Lose 3-2 or 14-2 we're still down 1-0. And in 2003 we were down 2-0 to the A's and swept three straight. So, no, you don't get any respect for one win. Win two more, and my hats off. Win 6 more and I say, nice job. Win 10 more and I'll say "congratulations, clearly the Baseball Gods are working their way backwards: The Sox win it all, then the White Sox, clearly next year it will be the Cubs to end the misery."

For the record, I went with the Angels, though I still like the Indians chances .... in 2006.

Then why didn't they drop his pathetic embarassing ass when it happened? After the season is over they find some sac?

If I recall the Brooks Mosaic liners, Lion didn't recall what happened, only that it was a very busy time. I believe there were a couple of others that also slipped through the cracks back then.

Well, the ESPN experts have spoken and they are unanimous in their predictions of the NLDS (we're in for a repeat of last year's NLCS, Houston vs St. Louis) and 3 of 5 predict that the Pale Hose will lose to the World Champions, and 4 of 5 predict that the Bombers will go home early, too.

I figured Parker-Diz would win historical significance. Might be different on a Coltrane discussion board though!

Well, understand that this was after I had bought Elegant Soul which does have strings and which was the first Sounds LP to disappoint me. So I was taking a leap to go for another "strings" LP. In fact, I remember that I mentioned the presence of strings to the seller after I won the auction and he assured me that there were no strings, it was the Oliver Nelson Orchestra and he was sure I'd enjoy it. He was right.

I may be wrong, but I suspect that this is the kind of review that can really catapult the group upward, not only in CD sales, but in all of your upcoming gigs with the "must be fun to see live" comment. You know, people hear a tune on the radio, hear about the record, go check AMG ... And it is so rare for Yanow to approve of an organ record, especially of one that he describes the organist as somewhere between soul jazz and funk. Congrats, guys!

My only autographed album was won on eBay: The Three Sounds, Cold Water Flat. It was one of the few Sounds albums I didn't have at the time and of course the former Gene Harris Fanatic was intrigued by the fact it was signed by Mr. Harris. So I ignored the AMG review which panned it and referred to the trio being accompanied by strings and I'm glad I did, as its actually the Oliver Nelson Big Band - no strings - and its got Gene grooving over some pretty wild arrangements.

Nah, I still like ya. A tough thing to swallow, I'm sure, but your team has a great future ahead of itself. No one expected them to be this competitive this soon. So long as Wickman can continue to be a top flight closer, no reason the Indians shouldn't be invited to next year's dance. and speaking of which, for the first time since the 2002 Diamondbacks, the defending World Champions will have a chance to defend that championship. And if the Rangers don't do something soon, the Yanks are looking at a nice cross-country trek to face the Angels without the home field advantage. Hope they've got ice on the plane for Jeter's knee.

How much credit for his survival ought to go to Steinbrenner for realizing that firing people left and right isn't conducive to winning in the long term? Its the very same factor that led directly to the championship years: Steinbrenner and his minions not controlling the team and making dumb ass short-sighted decisions. That had far more to do with the championships than anything Torre ever did. And again, you ought to win consistently with that payroll and that roster of all-stars. If he's "the best there is" then lets see what he does with a not so great team and a not so huge payroll. Put Torre in Tampa Bay. Does that team perform any better than it did under Piniella?
