I don't really find fault with Maddon. It's hard to see how he would NOT be the AL Manager of the Year. Manuel should be the NL counterpart.

Phillies Win! Congratulations! Now, wait til next season!

Phillies small ball it to a lead in the bottom of the 6th, then Baldelli ties it with a homer in the top of the 7th! Thrilling conclusion with Phillies in 5? Or is this NOT the final game of the World Series? ------ ETA Beautiful Phils double play in the top of the 8th leaves the Rays with 4 more outs, with Lidge warming up!

Turns out they play 2-3-2. I am glad they tried to play Monday. There've been too many delays for possible weekend viewers as it is! Also, according to Buster Olney on Mike and Mike this morning the commissioner's office let both teams know on Saturday that it would NOT call a World Series game complete after 5 innings. Play would resume at the point at which a rain delay was called. At least the front offices of the teams knew. We just weren't privy to it.

Rays in 7

Happy birthday and thanks for sharing so many stories!

She was good with Sid Caesar in It's a Mad....World!

Consider what angered the woman in the first place. She got angry all out of proportion because you made a turn she didn't know about. I would say that the woman got angry out of proportion due to her own feeling of some kind of incompetence navigating the city. Then she took it out on you for "making her angry" by lecturing to her son that it was you who was incompetent with your manners due to the way you were brought up. Maybe you too got a little angry out of proportion, feeling put on the defensive by her, which was only natural. If your anger was disproportionate to her "threat," then maybe you just could remind yourself more often that you are not racist after all. Once you realized that the problem was with the lady, not you (as Daniel A. pointed out), you could probably easily let it go. I would say she is definitely confusing her child! GA Russell's point that this might be generational was also interesting.

I suggest John Mayall Back to the Roots which also has some blues players you might like.

Victorino hits Grand Slam off Sabathia! Phils up 5-1!

I liked Saboteur with Robert Cummings as the man unjustly accused of sabotage. Maybe not his best but still a good film. Finale in the Statue of Liberty.

Rays over White Sox Angels over Red Sox Rays over Angels in 7 Cubs over Dodgers Phillies over Brewers Cubs over Phillies in 5 Cubs over Rays in 6 Since I don't think the Cubs have many weaknesses, and the Phils finished well, I think the matchup to watch will be Cub v Phils.

Wait til next year!! (My prediction for the Nationals was a bit off!)

Congratulations, Phillies! We gave 'em a scare in the 9th inning!

I liked the Long Hot Summer, Hud, Absence of Malice, The Verdict. A versatile actor!

Works fine for me. I see posts later than June 12. Any other pages not loading correctly?

Well, to be fair, I made a lucky guess! I think I also predicted that the Blue Jays would be in the playoffs!! ISBY

I for one welcome our foreign bank overlords.

I question the decision(s) to have the Astros play the Cubs when their city and families were under danger from Ike. If that's the Astros' ownership, harsh.

On the line for bold, italic etc click the second green link (for image) then insert the URL of the image.

Yes, good luck to Texans on this board! Ike seems to be heading your way. Since it won't make landfall until Saturday, I imagine Thursday will be your day to decide if and where to evacuate.

Be careful out there with the remnants of Hanna! In the DC suburbs we didn't fare so bad.

They also used to end the day's programming with the national anthem but they don't do that anymore. Why does TV hate America?

Sorry if this has been posted before or somewhere else, but I just received a CD from el/Cherry Red Records called Os Afro Sambas A Vontade, which releases two of Baden Powell's mid-60s albums. Appears to be a 2008 release. Gorgeous! http://www.amazon.com/Afro-Sambas-Vontade-...7255&sr=8-2 I have the 1996 cd remake here: http://www.amazon.com/Os-Afro-Sambas-Baden...471&sr=8-15

What a voice! When did "Preview of coming attractions" become "movie trailers"? The term doesn't make sense to me since the previews don't trail the movies, they are shown before. I've seen the Wikipedia entry and it seems to have a British bent, even using the spelling "programme."
