    Never watched it in full. Saw pieces of it here and there. It is, of course, a total work of fiction although that didn't stop Stone from selling it as "an alternative truth" and demanding that schools show it to every student in the land. Garrison was considered a nut by a good chunk of the assassination conspiracy theorists crowd, but Stone makes him the hero. In the one trial he brought (against the Pesci character) the acquittal came in about 45 minutes and I believe it only took that long because the jury wanted lunch first. Side note: Garrison was eventually defeated out of his New Orleans District Attorney position in 1973 following corruption charges (for which he too was acquitted) by Harry Connick Sr., father of the signer.

    That was nice and efficient, Edwin.

    Good day with the stick for Nido

    Gary brings up video games and all Keith can counter with is pinball.
  5. Frayed Knot
    I thought he was safe via live action and he may have been ... but I don't think the replay definitively showed that.
  6. Frayed Knot
    I'm not as sure about this overturn as Gary & Keith seem to be.

    Bader off the RHP, rather than Stewart, works out after all.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Bader is in there now, although it's weird to double-switch Stewart out when his spot is due to lead off in the 8th.

    After the Nootbaar error I was hoping for hits w/RiSP. Had to settle for two productive outs w/RiSP instead. But, y'know, baby steps and all that.

    Gary is cribbing off my notes ... and not for the first time I might add!!

    Philly finished up a four-game wrap-around series with San Fran this afternoon with their 10th win in the last 11. Combine that with the Dodger sweep of the Braves out in La La Land this past weekend and the Phils are currently sitting on a 3.0 game lead in the NL East. We'll be playing both teams starting Friday: ATL x3 [H] then PHI x4 [2H/2A]

    And of course two hits sandwich a GiDP
  14. Frayed Knot
    And our 1st baseman gets a clutch hit!! Haven't been able to say that for a while now.
  15. Frayed Knot
    In other words, we can't really count that one ... so it's 4 singles plus 3 BB and 15 RBI in 35 ABs Four singles means let's say 6 RBI, the walks add 3 more, so there are maybe 6 productive outs (of 30) in the whole lot.

Lots of minor league teams now have those two-word, wonky marketing department-created names that exist more to sell merchandise than to actually mean anything. I am well aware of that. Almost all of them come out of the same (SD-based IIRC) marketing agency which takes time to give each of their client teams a name that is totally unique ... and also one that is just like every other one of their client teams. I just don't know, and don't want to think about, what a Sod Poodle might be.

    =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=154477 time=1715025498 user_id=119] We've also played a bunch of well-above average teams. Can we please play the Marlins, Rockies, and some of the other bottom-feeders for a while?

    So these first five weeks of this season have thrown an interesting wrench into the P.A. free agency tour. Right now he (and McNeal) is/are basically the worst hitter(s) on the team.
  19. Frayed Knot
    Phils, 24-11 -- best record in NL -- win vs SFG tonight on SNB 2.5 up on Atlanta, 7.5 up on NYM And, btw, we're a full game behind the Nationals in the standings.

    =bmfc1 post_id=154417 time=1714959731 user_id=73] Will Pete get a hit? Doubtful How many walks will Mets pitchers give up? -- Lots How many bases will the Cardinals steal? -- Lots
  21. Frayed Knot
    Rarity = 44 Jimmy Key (TOR/NYY) - Darryl Strawberry (SFG/NYY) - Yogi Berra (NYY/30 HR) Scott Schoenweiss [pure guess] (TOR/ARZ) - Wilmer Flores (SFG/ARZ) - Paul Goldschmidt (AR/30 HR) Danny Ainge (TOR/played 3B) - Jim Ray Hart (SFG/3B) - David Wright (30 HRs/3B)

    =bmfc1 post_id=154291 time=1714878084 user_id=73] One run and it was helped by a dropped/unseen fly ball.
  24. Frayed Knot
    Second time this week we've scored Nimmo leading off the 1st inning ... and then didn't score again. oe: we're very good at pop-ups.
  25. Frayed Knot
    c'mon, man, we're handing it to 'em!!
