PHILLYQ

I got 29-it does help that I have a head full of useless information.

There is also a price to pay for "Agreeing with everything she wants"- you may start to lose yourself and lose track of what YOU want. You may become one of those 'Whatever you want' guys and the more you do that the more you may find some resentment biulding up because you rarely do what YOU want. There's a fine line there, that if you cross it you land in a deep pit of self-abnegation. Unfortunately I speak from experience and it's also very painful, perhaps even more than being blasted for wanting what you want. Just my $0.02, YMMV. Whatever happens, Alexander, be a good daddy to your young daughter and resist the temptation to knock your (ex)wife in front of your daughter. Best of luck to you.

I'll take them all. SOLD- thanks!

Tonight was chicken cutlets with a Mexican spice rub on the grill and a salad of avocado, cilantro, peppers, jalapeno, heirloom tomato, red onion, cumin, black pepper, lime juice and olive oil.

I fervently hope that they do some new material and record with this lineup-they're outstanding!!! I'm hoping that they make the 8/15 show available as a download- I'd buy it immediately. Harrison fit in beautifully with the group and he and Mastelotto really worked in sync with each other to where it seemed like a very talented octopus was playing drums.

Well, I went to see KC last night at the Nokia Theater in NYC and I was BLOWN AWAY!!! They came out firing on all cylinders from the start and never let up. This is about the 5th or 6th time I've seen them over the last 25+ years and this might have been the best concert. I don't have a setlist(haven't looked yet but there's probably one on DGMlive), but they played pretty much all the good stuff from about '81 on. The set included Neurotica, Elephant Talk, Three of a Perfect Pair, Indiscipline, Larks Tongue, Red, etc. The two drummers were terrific, sometimes one kept a beat while the other moved around the beat and accented, and they had about three or four short duets. On one of them they played cymbals almost exclusively, showing a lot of sublety and restraint. Tony Levin played mostly stick, which allowed him to hit some higher notes at times and almost make it a three guitar sound in some parts. Fripp and Belew were great- I thought Belew would bust his whammy bar on Indiscipline. He abused his guitar mightily all evening and got some truly bizarre sounds out of it. Fripp played ultra clean and pure, so the contrast made for some great listening.If they come back to do some more dates next year or if you can catch them tonight or tomorrow night, GO!!!!!

Emerson,Lake & Palmer Medeski,Martin & Wood Organissimo!!!

It looks very likely to me that the Yankees won't make the playoffs- the pitching is just too thin(I told this to a friend of mine a month ago and he scoffed). It's also POSSIBLE, if the Chisox & Twins play well and Tampa Bay stays on course, that the Bosox will also be on the outside looking in come October. Both 'Evil Empires' down?

Great to see you back, MG- what a story!

Good point. Per the closer discussion, if the scenario is that Pap is going to *save* three games in a row, I'd agree with you. But if we're asking if he's going to pitch in three games where he gets a save, that's a different question. Given that we DON'T know in advance what the circumstance will be, I think you have to play the game for today. If you consider the Putz example, I think it's likely that if he'd entered a close game in the 7th during that two week skid the M's had, pitched 2-1/3, and maybe picked up a W instead of a save, that might have been enough to inspire a listless team. Instead, he was reserved for his 9th-inning role, as the team hopped right in the toilet without a life jacket. Another situation where you might want to use your best reliever is maybe in the eighth inning you have the #3 hitter get on base. You bring in your best reliever to face the 4,5,6 hitters. If he gets them without allowing a run, you can have anybody pitch the 9th to get the 7,8,9 hitters.

SOLD!

It would be interesting if this ever goes to court- without hearing his material and just based on what I've read in this thread it seems the DJ is right on the legal line of fair use/theft. I could see this decided one way at trial, then reversed repeatedly on appeal. But I'm no lawyer, so...

I'm a Yankee fan and I'd like to see the DH abolished. Play the game the same in both leagues IMHO.

Thanks for asking- I forgot that in my haste. I edited my post above.

Not to derail, but if you don't mind my asking, why did they ban you? Was it due to publicizing your sales?

I watch less because the coverage is so damn awful- sorry, I just have no patience for the 153rd athelete who has overcome xxx to become an Olympian while the rousing music plays in the background. I wish I had a good foreign channel so I could just watch sports and skip the saccharine profiles. There was a race in the last Olympics where these two women were going neck & neck for a good distance, very exciting, I'm glued to the tube to see who will win, and.... they cut to a profile of one of the competitors!!! Give me the race, it was great. By the time they came back to the race one woman had taken a nice lead and like BB King,'The Thrill is Gone'.
