  1. And the writers vote Jeter the series MVP. Later
  2. Just got home, but I've been thinking about this all day: For all you oldies music lovers out there: When I read the starting pitchers in this morning's newspaper, I was reading about Hughsie-Lewis in the News. You may now all groan in unison. Later
  3. Golf and soccer? (Ducking) When is he going to play a real sport? Hey! Stop throwing that stuff! I was only kidding! Really! HELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP! Later
  4. It was a logical move to go with Oswalt. If the game stays tied for several innings, you'd like to use a starter there. Then, if you take the lead, you bring in your closer. Later
  5. He�s Ramius to their Tupolev. He could lead them in their Hunt for Met October. Later
  6. He's gone 0-7 in his first few AFL games. Later
  7. On radio, one of the announcers quipped that Wilson led the NL with 48 saves, then added that he made his manager nervous in 46 of them. The other guy (Soup Campbell?) added (a close paraphrase) "That's like when Earl Weaver had Tim Stoddard closing for him. He would go through an entire pack of cigarettes during the ninth inning."

Later You can't spell H-A-C-K without Michael Kay either. I'm expecting my usual 10% of the proceeds for teeing that one up for you. LOL! Later

  10. I wonder if the requests to Cablevision to add FOX Channel 5 (so Yankee fans can see the World Series) have declined recently. Later
  11. What's John Sterling's phrase again? Oh, I know. Swish-a-licious. * Yep. Sure was. Later * = yes, I feel dirty for knowing that.

  13. Frayed Knot wrote: Eh, maybe there's 15. I've never actually met a Texas Ranger fan. I've heard they exist but always assumed that they were simply Cowboy fans who got lost somewhere. I've known one for about 10 years. Met her when I was in Dallas on a business trip. She really knows her baseball, and I'd say she knows as much about her team, the players, their minor league organization and team history as most of the CPF-ers know about the Mets. And she couldn't care less about football. A very nice person. But, I haven't found many others. Later
  14. I think he's trying to tell us he didn't start the fire. But his music writing probably sucks as much as that prose. Later
  15. Wasn't there a "games appearance" clause that set a base number for the option year automatically to kick in? I'm guessing they re-negotiated that number because of the suspension. Later
  16. Teddy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Wilson I remember seeing film of him on tv as a member of the Benny Goodman Quartet. Later
  17. The Rangers downfall was George Bush holding up that sign declaring victory in the 7th inning. BTW- As of this morning, I no longer have Fox, CH-5 NY, on my Charter Cable system. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Later
  18. The Second Spitter wrote: Phew! That Jamie Moyer postcard on your fridge had me worried for a moment. Chalk it up to respect for his elders. And leave it at that. Later
  19. About Jeter: But what he does have is an intangible grace that makes him the face�and the hero�of the modern Yankee dynasty, and of America�s game. Its that intangible grace that has gotten a lot of guys beat up. Later
  20. Hernandez umping in the post season. That should be the poster picture for the Peter Principle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle Later
  21. An old wound that has finally healed. http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/10/washington-post-columnist-is-i.html Later
  22. Back in the day when there were first run movie theaters on 42nd street, my friend and I cut school to see a matinee of Psycho. In the tense moment when the detective is climbing the stairs, a woman cried out "Masher! Masher! He put his hand on my knee!". The movie stopped, the lights went on, and we saw a woman (who appeared to be in her )hittting an even older looking gentleman over the head with her umbrella. The ushers came and dragged him away. The lights went out, the movie resumed and the audience was chuckling during the rest of the movie. The mood was totally ruined. But, the ending scared me so much that I slept with the lights on for a few nights afterwards. That gets my vote. Rear Window is notable because it might be the only time Raymond Burr acted in something where someone else was in a wheelchair. The best "Hitchcock movie" that he never made was Charade. To this day, when movies come up in conversation, some people I've spoken with still believe he directed it. Later
  23. I really like Ian Kinsler. He reminds me of a David Eckstein with actual skills. Later
  24. When I read those snippets from Angell and Kahn, and I remember that Bill Madden was inducted into the writers' wing of the Hall of Fame this year, I just want to hurl. Later
