Alou and Showalter both managed the all-star game before managing in the postseason, but they both got there years later.

]3. (easy one) What all-star game didn't have either of the previous year's winning managers managing?

'95.

#2 I'm going with Al Lopez who managed proper in 55 and 59 and was a replacement for Houk in 64 and Berra in 65

#3 also includes 65 with Lopez and Mauch as well as the very first All Star game in 1933 with Connie Mack and John McGraw as the skippers

Not who I was thinking of. And, double checking, this manager managed two all-star games, but never managed in the postseason.

And you're right about Lopez.

I've seen Maggie up close. Not hot, not cute. Without the chest, she looks like a frompy 14 year old boy.

Ok,my mental image of Maggie just went to shit.

[Vic Sage]

"frompy"?

Without her chest, Maggie's heart and lungs would keep falling out, so her frompiness would be the least of her problems.

Thank you for the bare facts, Mr. Skin.

1) I know Felipe Alou managed the NL squad in 1995 because the Expos had the best record at the time of the strike (Take THAT Bobby Cox and your 14 "consecutive" titles.

2) I think the aforementioned Maggie is pretty, but then again I think Rachael Ray is a knockout, which gets me heavily mocked.

3) Reese Witherspoon's chin is so pointy that it's a distraction.

4) Drew seems to change from movie to movie. I think she looked great in "Music and Lyrics" and especially "Fever Pitch."

I'm with you on Rachael Ray too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I'd only seen photos of Rachael Ray, I'd probably think she was attractive.

But I've seen her in action and heard her talk. She's unbearable.

[Guest Edgy DC]

This thread is growing unbearable.

i'd like to read a story in the Post one day that Rachel Ray had her head split open with a meat cleaver in a horrible kitchen accident. That would be "delish".

Oh man! That's just so wrong!

Now, Derek Jeter with a meat cleaver accident? OK.

Clemens? Even better!

Chipper Jones? It's just the right thing to do.

(And Rachael would say "Yum-o," not "delish.")

They apparently do not have Dunkin' Donuts in Michigan. Here in Massachusetts where DuDo's is on every corner there is a picture of Rachael Ray in each window with the words "Quick and Delish" underneath. I'm assuming those are her words.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was all set to call Nabisco and demand that they remove Rachael Ray's picture from their boxes of Ritz Crackers (she could actually be seen on four of the six side of the carton) but somebody apparently beat me to it.

After we returned from Alaska last summer, I noticed a "Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels" in my TiVo Alaska wish list. Since we had just returned from Anchorage, I figured we'd watch the show and see her take on the city.

What a mistake. It was 30 minutes of pure stupidity. She went to the Alaska Native Heritage Center and concluded her visit by saying, "If you're interested in Native Alaskan Heritage, then the Alaska Native Heritage Center is the place for you!"

How inane can you get?

By the way, I suspect somewhere on the internet Soupcan has put together a database of female actresses and movies they appeared naked in.

[Centerfield]

I like Rachael Ray...but I have seen only about 4 episodes of her show. I guess she could get annoying with overexposure but I wouldn't know.

What I do like about her is that she grew up in upstate New York, and if you've spent any time up there, (soupy, Methead) you can recognize that upstate style of speaking. It was weird to see that on TV.

One of the episodes I caught was when she went back home and I noticed that her accent got thicker when she was back in her hometown. This happens to me too. I've been living in the city for ten years, but every time I go home, I feel like a hick again.

I like her, a little perky at times but that's OK.

[DocTee]

She does bear an uncanny resemblance to the Joker, with that perpetually upturned smile.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Is she naked on the Ritz cracker box?

[Benjamin Grimm]

No, for that you'd have to buy Triscuits.

[soupcan]

I prefer this one

[seawolf17]

I'm not saying she's not annoying, I'm just agreeing that she's cute.

Her "$40 A Day" show was an invaluable resource when we visited Montreal a few years back; we found great restaurants because of that show.

I agree with that too. But I find that she's far more annoying than she is cute.

I'm glad she's off the Ritz Cracker boxes. I shudder to think that some day she may be on my boxes of Pop-Tarts!

I am SO running to Costco to get that big box....

Especially when she eats something, smiles, rolls her eyes and says "YUMMMM" as only she can.
