They may have been a white R&B groove act and not "southern rock" per se, but that didn't stop them from accenting their set with the Confederate flag. It was the seventies. It was the south. It was the law. Also, their biggest album, Champagne Jam, opened with a song dedicated to the deceased members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Whatever key differences, culturally, they were plugged into the whole Southern rock thang. Also "So in to You" appeared on https://www.discogs.com/Various-Southern-Fried-Rock/release/1986236Southern Fried Rock, which gives an act a lot of SR credibility points. I never noticed before that it's "So in to You," with a space, rather than "So into You." Curious.

Frayed Knot wrote: All that aside, while there's no specific climax to build to ... If you were commissioned to write a biopic about Elton, what climax would you build to? Elton's Central Park concert? Elton's successfully exiting rehab? Elton's knighthood? Elton's Live Aid set? Elton's set at the Freddie Mercury tribute show? Elton's same-sex wedding with David Furnish? His initial embrace of his orientation? Elton's performance at Princess Diana's funeral? Elton's auctioning off of his most outrageous costumes and deciding to perform in merely fabulous clothes from that point onward, rather than leaning toward the outrageous? Elton's entering the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Tony for Aida? Lifetime achievement awards? His recovery of his voice? His advocacy for LGBT rights in Putin's Russia? A lot of drama in the guy's life. Depending how your map the script, though, it's hard to choose any of it as broadly defining his story.

In baseball's long history, only 78 rookies have hit more homers in a single season than Alonso has hit so far as of June 18. And right now, Gleybar Torres isn't one of them.

That had no bidness getting out. Bring on Gsellie, I guess.

Ah poo.

Let's finish this game like the kings of yesteryear.

And holy crap, they lettin' him hit.

Hilarious. He gets out of the eighth, and walks off the field as his fielders all offer him daps and he ignores them all.

McCann is a classick red-ass catcher, isn't he? When he isn't pissed about something in particular he always seems to be looking for something to get pissed about.

I think it's my I Double Down Day.

WE WANT BLE-VINS!!! Do you think these chumps are really going to take deGrom out?

At least the Mets pulled it off. And hey, if the pitcher isn't looking, he isn't looking. But yeah.

Freeman swinging 3-0 down 8 to 0. Stupidity just won't go away.

Needed it for the cycle right? Not counting chickens here, but two of things I like about this: Disabuses the Braves of the idea that Teheran is an ace again. Disabuses the world of the idea that deGrom isn't.

Rosie is alright. He wears my ring.

Three doubles in an inning is also a heckuva thing to see.

Situational hitting from Alonso is a heckuva thing to see.

Most righthanders bunt wrong. Lift your back leg and square your hips man. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Phil_Rizzuto_1953.jpg/220px-Phil_Rizzuto_1953.jpg> Also, squaring the bat before the pitcher begins his motion is hella stupid. It's not only an invitation to the defense to adjust, it's also an invitation to the pitcher to just stand there until just as he senses you cramping with anxiety but before you call time out.

The announcer calls it "unbelievable." What's much harder to believe is that it doesn't happen over and over.

Buck Leonard Randle Good for three points. Back in the day, did every team just malign whoever had the worst teeth/jaw alignment with the nickname "Buck"? King Kelly Johnson Fun fact: This is what his wife called him. Three points. Biz Mackey Sasser!!! Another fun fact: Mackey Sasser's given name is actually Mack.
