PHILLYQ

Now it's really getting crazy. Bosox hang on to win in Baltimore while the Rays beat the Yanks, so they're both tied with one game to go. Atlanta loses and the Cards have a late lead, so they could also be tied with one game to go. This is exciting!!! Because the playoffs start on Friday, the Yanks won't use Robertson/Soriano/Rivera tomorrow in order to keep them rested for Friday. Some regulars will certainly be rested, so the Yanks are almost giving the Rays the game from the outset. On the other side, Baltimore is playing the Bosox tough and Showalter wil give it everything he has to win the game. I'm so glad I have MLBN.

Well worth getting, his octets are so well arranged that at times they sound like a big band.

The Angels are creeping back into the picture and now it's possible that the Rays & Bosox will both be out of the playoffs.

Listening to the first disc now and while I've heard this before from bootleg sources, this is even better. Now where the hell do I put the @#$%^& booklet!

After today's loss Tampa Bay may be dead. They're now 2 back in the loss column to the Bosox and Tampa bay has to be smarting after the loss, they led 2-1 until the 8th when the Yanks score 3 to take it.

Mine arrived today, I'll crack it open later.

I preordered the Winterland set from Amazon and I came out on the short end of the deal. I preordered at $40.99, they shipped it, and now the price is around $35.00!!!! I went back to Amazon on this, looking for a refund of the difference and so far they refuse. So what's the advantage to preordering other than making sure you get the product?

Are you choice? At this point I'm probably chuck chopped!

I got a shipping notice today(I'm not prime).

I got it yesterday and I'm cracking it open this weekend. There's a lengthy discussion on the Hoffman board that is quite detailed as one would expect.

Bobby Flay is a native New Yorker(Bronx)

i was just speaking with a friend today and he added HBO and a couple of other premium channels(he has the Verizon bundle of cable/phone/ISP)and his bill is now less than it was before. He also got his cellphone added to his bill(Verizon, too) and it reduced his bill even further!

Down to $29.47. They should reduce all preorders to that price. If I'm not mistaken, preorders get the final price. I think Amazon calls it price protection or something like that.

Hampton didn't treat Priester very well either.

TTK, maybe next time you might lock up the stuff you don't want to drink, so at least it'll be difficult to get to. I make sure I'm not driving, I'm someplace easy to get home from ,etc.

One thought that keeps going through my mind is that in cases of crimes such as what's alleged against Bill Barton the feds usually won't even proceed to an indictment unless they have an airtight case. I haven't reviewed any evidence and I don't know what the feds have in this particular case, so I can't really judge at this juncture but I can't help but think that thought.

TWC is looking for eyeballs/ratings, so their coverage will be on the hysterical side. Panic buying has set in in Brooklyn, with people buying the usual milk bread and eggs(I imagine thousands of folks eating french toast for days!) and flashlights are doing a brisk business.

Didn't they do this on 'Jackass'?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. 22 runs and three grand slams cover a lot of lousy pitching!

Yanks lose a second straight heartbreaker to the A's. Tonights's hurt worse. OUCH!!!

There's a thread on this, release date is in September:

Yes, the only thing worse than paying a pitcher $16 million a year to warm the bench is paying him $16 million a year to put games out of reach for you before the second inning's over. Why does it matter, and why do you care??? The Steinbrenners do not know the meaning of the word "budget". They will always continue to pay as much as it takes to win. ?? Not sure that's as true as it used to be, and not sure what it has to do with my remark about A.J., which concerns the notion that his high salary makes NY hesitant to pull him from the rotation. Highlight from today's game against the Twins: Curtis Granderson hits the first-ever inside-the-park home run at Target Field. Granderson gets the HR because he hit the ball and RAN immediately, no posing no jive, hit and hustle.

Ron Carter also became very involved with academia at the CCNY(City College NY)music program.Don't know exact dates, but I believe he was a professor there for quite awhile, and it's important to point out that a gig like that provides a pension and health benefits, both important considerations for musicians. Between that and playing a gazillion sideman gigs on other's recordings he just may have had not much time to do a lot else.

You were lucky ! Try curry and/or chilli con-carne ! How about fish? You can smell that around the corner!
