  1. Last week, the Jupiter Hammerheads shut out the St. Lucies over a doubleheader. Showing the resilient spirit of the parent club, the St. Mets paid the Jupes back in kind yesterday, sweeping two, 9-2 and 9-1 Getting the start in game two was Goodman John Church, who gave up a run in the first inning and shut them down the rest of the way. Seven innings pitched, one earnie, five hits, one walk, and no strikeouts. How do you like them app... Hey, wait... no strikeouts? As in none? Just what are you teaching these kids, Mets?
  2. Liked it better than Thor and Green Lantern. They're hard films to make --- needing to satisfy invested constituencies from several generations of the character, as well as people who've never read a comic in their lives.
  3. DC was a folk hub, with the scene thriving after the war until fading about the time the Beatles hit (and played their first concert in DC) --- situated at an odd crossroads between the Appalachian sources of the music and the northern sophisticates popularizing and consuming it. They also had this Jewish population of families established well before the war, who acted as dedicated sponsors for the movement. Before becoming America's favorite crooning yokel, John Denver was a DC coffeehouse folkie:

  5. Can you imagine what it was like, if you had any ambition, to be a contemporary of Dylan? He was good enough to set an impossibly high standard. He was prolific enough to set a pace nobody could keep up with. He was prankster enough to push his goofiest songs so hard they came out as profound and outdid your best. And he was mean enough that if you briefly were able to reach his air, he'd cut you dead for the transgression.
  6. What did Harvey do against the Altoona Curve? IPHRERHRBBSO5.0300014 The Curve are a real professional team and everything. With bats and stuff. I mean, they've only gone .438 in the Eastern League this year, but that's .024 better than Backmanton. !
  7. My point is merely that the five-year time frame isn't very meaningful.
  8. The majority of pitchers should expect a major arm injury over the next five years, no? And if Wheeler somehow escapes that, who will remember a prediction made five years previous?
  9. If he did The Rocketeer, that's enough for me. I'm there. I'm queer. Get used to it.
  10. A scale of four stars or five? 1) Green Lantern 2) Thor
  11. God? Really? Then I will rephrase. I wanted to know if your enjoyment (and yours alone) was at all affected by the relative glut of recent superhero movies --- the magic made less magical by it's increased relative availability. Because we went to Thor and Lantern at my wife's suggestion. I warned her that the potential for suckitude was high. We each disliked them both, and both disliked them each, and now I'm not sure I could drag her to Captain 'Merica, despite my interest in him being far greater than those other two costumed big shots.
  12. I edited my post while you were responding. It's just, enough weaving semantic circles, please. You're smart. I understand. But any ocelot can tell I'm not asking about box office. Any black-capped chickadee knows I'm not asking about the datedness of the character. or dampen critical response already numbed by the genre? or simply lessen audience anticipation, however quantified? Give me a break already. It was the easiest question ever.
  13. Does the comic book movie glut affect of the impact of the Captain?
  14. Do you say DEN Dekker or den DEKker? I do the former.
  15. I have no idea what they'll be doing this offseason. Top priority is shoring up, I think. But no, I think there are plenty of internal options at second.
  16. Just jumped up to fourth in the Eastern League in RBI. Fifth in total bases, second in OBP, and third in OPS (that last one behind two guys who've logged significantly fewer plate appearances). We're looking at an MVP candidate. Good adoption.
  17. I expect Rainy is a diminutive of Rainier or somesuch. Be a good name for a dominatrix. Yeah, I've had some adventure looking for photos.
  18. Rainly Lara is coming out of the bullpen and delivering rainy day music to Gulf Coast batters, having just logged his fifth straight scoreless appearance. He has 1.86 ERA over 9.2 innings, logging six saves, along with eight strikeouts and only one walk. That WHIP? It's 1.14, baby, and it's been dropping.
  19. Matt gave up a pair in the first, but then settled down. All part of the growth process, I say. 5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 9 K, 3 BB
  20. Scorcese doesn't do wild and zany comedy. He does dark and disturbing comedy. Even when he did the screwball comedy, with the greatest screwball in history in Jerry Lewis, he had that guy be the sap, and DeNiro be the screwb. What a sadist that guy is.
  21. It's sort of hate mail for yuppies, isn't it? You can't just be a day tripper in this world, buddy, trading on people's lives but not living one. It's like an ancient tale of a god who fell to earth and found himself in a mortal world he couldn't navigate, except Olympus is the world above Houston and earth is the world below. Anyhow, one more movie that couldn't take place in a world of cell phones.
  22. Amazin' Avenue inexpiclably put their farm report today in Ring Lardner-era sportswriter prose: BINGHAMTON 9, NEW BRITAIN 4 (Box) The game was: Club Matt Den Dekker Home. Allan Dykstra had the first whack (1st Inning) and sent Matty spinning in from 1B. Then Valdespin took his turn (3rd Inning, from 1B), selected "try again" (5th Inning, from 2B), and proved himself master indeed. So Josh Satin wanted a go (7th Inning), and Matty obligingly measured his lead at first. Crack! Oh how the Dutchman huffed and puffed around the bases. Then in the 8th, John Henry-like, Matthew G. Den Dekker died on the bags. Fourth straight B-Mets victory. Wally tossed.
  23. Tearing apart the Florida State League right now.
