  1. It was announced about 6 months ago that Price has pancreatic cancer.
  2. Kid Rock performed at his funeral today. Kid Rock??
  3. That Raburn guy killed us. He had 7 hits in the 2 game series while the Phillies managed 8 TOTAL.
  4. Bynum can't play a minute for the Sixers bc of his knees BUT he can still dance(in addition to bowl). http://www.the700level.com/basketball-philadelphia-sixers/news/Now-Andrew-Bynum-Is-Apparently-Flamenco-?blockID=839595&feedID=8974
  5. Whoa, the Phillies and Roy Halladay got spanked last night by the Indians. The Tribe hit 7 HRs altogether off of Philly pitching. Yikes.
  6. Well I guess everyone has read about Jason Collins coming out of the closet. Apparently there are a few people who have a problem w/ it. Like Chris Broussard... http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/nba-reporter-calls-homosexuality-a-sin-on-tv
  7. Mets fans - Do you guys have a lefty in the pen that Collins could have brought in to face Howard in the 6th?? Can't understand why he would throw a righty vs. Howard w/ 2 men on. I mean Scott Atchinson? Really??
  8. Disturbing news. Weir collapses onstage Thursday night. http://www.relix.com/news/2013/04/26/bob-weir-escorted-off-stage-during-furthur-show

  12. 2013 Predictions NL East - Nats Central - Reds West - Giants WC - Braves & Dodgers AL East - Blue Jays Central - Tigers West - Angels WC - Rangers & A's The Phillies are in trouble. Hamels and Lee will be fine but Halladay is about done. That leaves Kyle Kendrick and John Lannan(shuddder) to round out their starting pitching. They are better than last year's team but the Nats and the Braves got a whole lot better over the off season. I predict the Braves and the Nats will both win over 100 games this year. Mets are coming up too. I'm thinking 4th in the East for my Phillies. Oh well it was a good run while it lasted. Oops! Almost forgot - WS - Nats over the Angels Oh and Houston will finish dead last n the MLB.
  13. Kramer did not PRODUCE Zeppelin. Page did. Right, thanks for the catch.
  14. I've been on a huge Hendrix bender lately. This CD has not left the player since the day it was released. It's very good - that's not to say I don't have a few minor quibbles with it. For instance, I would have left off the "Let Me Love You" & "Mojo Man" because I don't think they fit well with the rest of the performances. Additionally, I would have liked it better if they just presented the material as it was instead of combining takes like on "Hear My Train A-Coming' " - warts and all is my motto. Also during Hendrix's solo in "Somewhere" it sounds like Kramer added some reverb/delay (at 2:02 to the end of the solo) which just makes it sound really odd to my ears. It reminds me of some latter day Zeppelin Jimmy Page solo but I can't for the life of me figure out which one. Considering that Eddie Kramer produced both artists I guess that isn't that much of a stretch. Maybe the reverb was on the original recording but it just doesn't sound right to me. Anyway I'm glad they released it. Hopefully they will get RAH or Miami out soon on video.
  15. It can be all yours for $115,000.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/370773643959?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It would be interesting to see what it went for at Guernsey's Jazz Auction back in February 2005.* *According to this article it went for $28,000 http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=16758#.UUO8WVePTKc
  16. 12 men have walked on the Moon. Only 11 have scored on earned runs against Mariano Rivera in the postseason.
  17. For us Yanks that missed the original broadcast you can now stream it here.... http://video.pbs.org/video/2337391461
  18. Well it sounds like you have ruled out the tubes or the caps as being the culprit. So that leaves grounding/interference. Make sure you(this goes for everyone regardless of what kind of amp you use) are plugged into a GFI outlet. Also, put your amp in a room away from other electronic devices and make sure they are not plugged into the same circuit as your amp. Even if you have electronics in another room if they are plugged into the same circuit they could be inducing the hum.
  19. Does anyone else think this might be the first October in recent memory with neither the Red Sox nor the Yankees in the post season?? The Yankees are beat up and old and I'm not sure if the Red Sox have the talent to compete with the Jays and the O's. That's crazy that the Nats and Braves only play each other once. Who has the home field?
  20. Refs come through with tough non-call But I'm happy to say Boger and his crew did a commendable job. It was a relatively penalty-free game (49ers had 5, Ravens had 2), and while there are always a few plays in question, the biggest play that had 49ers fans screaming came late in the game. Here was the situation: the 49ers had the ball, fourth-and-goal from the Baltimore 5-yard line with 1:50 left in the game. Baltimore led, 34-29. Kaepernick lofted a pass to Michael Crabtree, who was being guarded by Jimmy Smith. Both players were hand fighting and when you look at this play in real time, there's not enough to call pass interference against either player. Smith had a quick grab and Crabtree had a quick push-off. Smith went down on the play and the pass fell incomplete. Crabtree never complained and it's the type of play where a flag thrown against either team would have, in my mind, created more controversy than a decision not to throw the flag. By the way, it couldn't be defensive holding because the pass was in the air when the contact occurred. It's either offensive pass interference or defensive pass interference. It was not an obvious foul and until I looked at it in slow motion, it seemed like no foul at all. It's not a penalty I would want called if I were still VP of Officiating for the NFL. Mike Pereira was the NFL's Vice President of Officiating from 2004-09, having spent the five seasons previous to that as the league's Director of Officiating. He also served as an NFL game official when he acted as side judge for two seasons (1997-98).
  21. It was a good non-call. The refs had been letting that go all game. It would have looked bad if they decided to call it there. Plus, it looked liker the receiver pushed off with a hand to the defender's face/hemet. I think you are referring to a different play. I am referring to the safety, when the punter ran around in the end zone and took 8 seconds off the clock. The Baltimore offensive lineman was beaten by the San Francisco lineman, and the Balt guy wrapped both arms around the SF guy's waist from behind, preventing him from tackling the punter. I don't know NFL rules, so I don't know if that penalty would have made any difference. But that was the most outrageous hold I've ever seen in my life. Whoops. Yes, I meant the other one. And I agree that non holding call on the Balt O lineman was awful.
