So two pitchers did it clean!Last Sunday's paper reported that the Tigers' Max Scherzer joined Rube Marquard in 1912 and Roger Clemons in 2001 as the only pitchers to win 19 of their first 20 decisions in a season.
My first thought was that Elroy Face also did it in 1959, but Wikipedia says that Face was 18-1 that year.

Followed closely by '3rd down efficiency'. Lumping every third down together and going with the average is, IMHO, just absurd. There's a huge difference between 3rd and inches and 3rd and 10, so to lump them all together muddies what could be a good stat. No one yet has found a correlation between making third downs and winning games.No, Elway wasn't a very good QB early on in his career.
That said, QB rating is biggest joke category ever devised for sports.

Revenue is expected to be $25 billion in 15-years....in the meantime by the time they finally pay off the money in 20-years....the cost of inflation would lesson the value of the remaining 17-years paid. They're probably going to lose another 25-35% of the money's value on top of what they're going to pay the lawyers.When I saw that the deal wasn't in the billions knew it was a big win for the league. Current NFL revenue close to 10 billion for one year.
Saw a report that mentioned the retired players have no idea what they'll get.....must have 2 doctor exams before determination of benefits.
Opens the door for the 18 regular season games schedule.
Talking safety and teams playing games Sunday and then Thursday nothing short of a farce.
What is $75,000-$100,000 going to do for anyone with Dementia? That's like one year's worth of treatment...and they're not even getting it one lump sum payment.
This settlement also kept the NFL from opening up it's records on concussions. Current players and future players are screwed because they can't say they don't know the about the risks and accept the liability....it also would be covered under the CBA.
Goodell got a new contract that doubles his salary after getting the NFLPA to kowtow for the last CBA. Who knows how much more he's going to get in the future now that he got the Refs and the former players to do the same.
The lockout settlement hosed the current players, and this deal hoses the former players.I get the feeling that the NFL told the former players' lawyers that 'we can settle for this, or we could tie you up in court for 10 years'

I am stunned there are no responses to this message. Could it be because I did not say RIP?
I had nothing good to say, so...

Thanks PhillyQ and Michel! It really means a lot that you took the time to say "good job!" Makes me feel good about what we did, and that the music made some folks feel good too. That's what it's all about!
Ya hit a home run with this one!

You know, I find it interesting how the Yankees fans get upset over A-Rod being plunked when they "applauded" with glee every time Barry Bonds was nailed by a pitch.
I'm a Yankee fan and I didn't care at all whenever Bonds was HBP, and as Blue Train pointed out, Bonds crowded the plate and wore body armor that led to more HBP.Did you see or hear about any celebrations by Yankee fans over Bonds being HBP? Who are all these Yankee fans upset about A-Roid getting plunked? The NY dailies(News & Post) had nothing on it, and I'm a Yankee fan and I thought it was no big deal. It sounds like you're in the fact-free zone.
Anyone know the Cub's magic number?
Or is that tragic number?
Better days may be ahead, as the Cubs did get rid of some bad contracts this year. -
Posting from a phone...so it could be lost in translation from me to you. Al Davis in his last couple decades was WTF? as a GM. Yes, the Raiders had people that had the title of "GM"....but Davis was the GM....and even called plays down from his box. At one time he knew what he was doing. Jones as GM has been a complete disaster. Davis would never have fired Johnson over something that idiotic.
They're still making crazy money because it's Cowboys and it's what he knows. Should be pointed the owner Jones was closest to was Al Davis....who took him under his wing early on.
Al Davis went from brilliant(his early years) to extremely dim. I think he became more interested in keeping and wielding power than making the Raiders better.

I finally got a chance to listen to this a few weeks ago, and it's VERRRRY good. Mike plays some greazzzy organ(had to wipe my glasses a few times!), and the drummer and guitarist are right with him, a true trio disc. I Played some cuts for some friends who are not jazz buffs and they dug the immense groove on the disc. I highly recommend it.

Looks to me that the next step is a sale of WBAI, they have a slot on the dial that is worth a lot of moolah.

Congratulations!!!

not a competion but I am simply making a point regarding the often overlooked drummer
" My personal favorite member of the group by far was the drummer" may have made the point, but what do I know?
I'm not very well studied on *Reynoldian* scripture
If you read your Reynolds regularly, you know that he LOVES Tom Rainey's playing.

Judgement day for Mr Alex Rodriguez
(according to mlb-tv 2 hours ago) rodriquez is threatening to sue yanquis for bad medical care and trying to get rid of him, as well as suing mlb and yanquis.
is it not interesting that all of the players suspended are latin americans?
If some of the rumors of A-Roid being a steerer of players to the clinic is true, it would make sense that he would be friendly to a lot of latino players and would lead them down that road.

Mix some parsnips, carrots and any other root veggies you have, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper, roast in a pan in a 400+ oven, good stuff!
I had never consciously eaten parsnips before, but this thread intrigued me, especially this post. Last night I roasted parsnips, carrots and onions with olive oil and an Italian seasoning blend instead of salt and pepper. (The onions were suggested by a lady at the farmers' market. But I think onions make almost anything better, anyway.) Delicious! So thanks Jim & Philly.
Of course, I had to remember to search for "parnsips" to find this thread.
Glad you enjoyed it, I love when people try something I suggest and like it, even more if they eat my food and like it. If you're ever near Brooklyn, come over and we'll feast!

Somebody at Hoffman had one for sale.

My fiance stopped smoking this morning and is already going through some pretty bad withdrawal symptoms--migraine, achiness all over, inability to do anything... any recommendations on over-the-counter products that might help alleviate the misery of withdrawal (or prescription medicines)?
Acupuncture may help- it did wonders for me I quitting.
I also found this tea helpful:

He shouldn't rush it; let him recover fully. Maybe he should retire; there's no shame in that.
He's already done so much for so long.
