I'm glad he's ended up in central booking rather than the hospital or morgue. He may be a famed pug, but he's also a heart attack survivor.

It was caught on camera. It's a bit blurry but you get the idea.

I done a bad stupid thing...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What kind of local police department announces the arrested guy's past employers? What about the other guy?

Like, in context, hey, that's Ray Knight. But if I saw him at the grocery store, I'd be staring at him awkwardly trying to figure out who he was.

Whattaya lookin' at wolfboy? You got something to say to me? Let's go right now (starts swinging)

And for the record, the runaway winner of the "I look nothing like my former self" contest is Wally Backman.

The effect is lost a little because he remained with the organization, but compare young Wally to now Wally. Not a chance you recognize him.

You'd look different too, if you had your neck surgically removed.

[Frayed Knot]

I think older Wally looks a lot like younger Wally, he just happens to look like a younger Wally who then ate younger Wally.




btw, I'll always maintain that the least similar looking celebrity young guy/old guy combo was Frank Sinatra

I wouldn't match up photos of young Ron Gardenhire with old Ron Gardenhire very quickly if I wasn't familiar with both.

Bruce Jenner has also changed somewhat.

Contest over.

On this day 31 years ago, Ray Knight scored a run.

I remember it well!

Barry Svurluga, who has been critical of Washington's firing of Baker, says that they should go after Girardi. Washington's salary history with Baker is discussed.

Hahahah! That is a good one


Is Ray knight still married to Nancy Lopez? There is a brief story of her in the latest issue of aarp and I wondered

[bmfc1]

So the MFNs got their type of manager: someone who would take their cheap-ass $2M/year offer. That's what Dusty Baker was making and he actually had a track record. Martinez doesn't.
