See you on the 2012 MLB Season thread ------------------------------------------------------------ They should have fired Francona for the continuous spitting Seriously, maybe it's because I'm European, but I find that habit disgusting. Is it part of the folklore?? For me it takes away a lot of fun when watching MLB games on cable TV here. Spitting is ubiquitous in baseball. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it reduces tension.

You are right that was a great night of baseball, but lets face it if the Yankees played all their regulars and put MO in at the end , the Rays would have lost too. What about Crawford, he can't catch that ball? Manny could! Seriously,Crawford may be the best all round athlete on the club and he dives for the ball as if it's a hand grenade. Yankees earned the right to play the game the way they did...and I'm sure some of them enjoyed seeing the Red Sox not make the playoffs by their loss. Fine , Colts did the same thing with the Jets and how did that turn out ? Reports are that Francona has been FIRED!...i am sure they will say it was amicable. If so, it's the Red Sox's loss. What happened wasn't Francona's loss. The players have to own what happened.

That one fits here and in the comic book covers thread.

Ross Bagdasarian William Saroyan Rosemary Clooney (any guesses on the connection?) Cheated. I thought maybe Rosemary Clooney had some sort of Armenian background. No - she didn't appear to, but who knows? To save others the trouble of checking, Bagdasarian & Saroyan wrote "Come On-a My House".

I'm not in Kansas, but I just find that biographies tend to capture facts rather than essence. That's probably the nature of the game, and that's why I'm not that much interested in them.

A friend of mine who's a musician told me he was told by a fellow musician that Harvey Swartz (his birth name) got tired of being hassled at airports (especially after 9/11) as to whether his name was Swartz, Shwartz, or Schwartz and legally changed his name to Harvey S.

It was an LP featuring Sonny Rollins - I don't remember which - and the liner notes were by Ira Gitler. Guy Sonny Rollins Plus Four
