  1. Widowed barber, downish and somewhat outish, is forced to take a young woman on as a partner in order to keep his shop open. Despite their odd-couple bickering, they help each other get their respective **** together. [fimg=550]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413Cdn5vnKL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg[/fimg]
  2. Shut my mouth. Former MLB pitcher T.J. House came out as gay in 2022.
  3. I tend to think that a lack of commitment to accuracy is nothing new for Mr. Russo, sadly. It strikes me that, like our risk of soon having no living persons who walked on the moon, we've suddenly got no living openly gay Major League Baseball vets.
  4. Must be 10 years ago I picked up his memoir, but only just recently decided to read it.
  5. Yes, let us do more than ticking names off.
  6. There's plenty of time for that. But right now, he's the reliever-with-options-who-just-pitched-a-few-innings-of-long-relief guy, and all teams need that guy.
  7. Defense plant worker gets framed in a plot to sabotage the plant, ultimately getting mixed up in a cross-country chase among a highly complex web of saboteurs that are targeting plants, dams, ships ... the very pressure points that could lead to the collapse of the nation! Alfred Hitchcock directs, but leading man Robert Cummings gets to make a Capra-esque stand for the little guy. It's from Hitchcock's early US years, and sort of foreshadows themes and elements more famously developed in later work.

  8. A sophisticated Jazz-age busybody of a young adult with aspirations of Austenian literary glory suddenly finds herself parentless, and opts to move in with distant relations in their messy and cursed farming household, and insinuates herself into their rustic lives with modernity and pluck. [fimg=350]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510DXTBP38L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg[/fimg]
  9. Tom Waits, The Ramones, and The Alarm all agreed — it was never a party at The Tropicana until Richard Hell showed up.
  10. Sean Burroughs comes from the Little League World Series to New York and creates a little chaos on 53rd Street. [YOUTUBE]LOBHdtBFJ0o[/YOUTUBE]
  11. Gosh, that raises as many questions as it answers.
  12. The first great home-born San Francisco Giant, arriving the first season after they moved west and a year before McCovey, winning Rookie of the Year. What a heart of the order with him, Mays, and McCovey, but the Giants couldn't make it work because he and McCovey both fit best at first, and even if they did succeed in hiding one in left, they kept producing guys who were really good in the outfield, many of them named Alou. His father was a great player too, but the integration came too late for him to show his stuff in MLB.
  13. Raise a glass to mark the passing of longtime MLB player and coach Mike Brumley who was killed over the weekend in a massive car wreck in Mississippi. Mike was a classic punchless utility infielder but in 1987 hit the first of his three career homers off of Ron Darling.
  14. Whether or not he's guilty, the league is slipping into a whack-a-mole situation. They have to keep the problem at bay as well as the specter contained. If the perception of honest competition is affected, MLB could lose big.
  15. What an out-and-out mess. What a totally predictable out-and-out mess.
  16. If I ran the team, they'd be 185-0, have dozens of hit records from this year alone, and be dressed like The Baseball Furies. The pitchers would bat, the uniform elements would be sewn on, and the manager would be a mute German guy named Ernst. Also, no "Piano Man." I figure fans would be OK with me banning that, because we'd be 185-0, and they'd also be crazy about Ernst.
  17. I'm not confused by it.
  18. The factors feeding into the decision are going to change drastically every day. They changed drastically with his ugly 0-for-five on Monday. They changed drastically again when he went 2-for-5 with a homer last night. The main factors, of course, we have little knowledge of, and that's the matter of what kind of deals are or will be available over the course of the middle of the season. I'm just hoping the Mets take Game Three of the series this afternoon.
  19. That's correct.
  20. That certainly will be part of the calculus. But we've got eight weeks, babies. A lot can and will happen in eight weeks.
  21. I don't claim that MLB's relationship should excuse the players. But neither do I think that the players' poor decisions should absolve MLB from their open complicity. As for "many alternatives available," it's often the alternatives that get gamblers in the hole, intensifying the pressure to go into betting what they know in order to get out of it.
  22. Sheesh, apart from Marcano, four more guys lose a year. MLB reaping what they've sown, but they don't care, because players are easier to dispose of than the profits they're getting from being in bed with gambling syndicates.
  23. The Mets firstbaseman had a really ugly 0-for-5 as they barely escaped last night's game with the Nationals with an 8-7 victory. Maybe this Alonso guy is someone the Mets could acquire.
  24. Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano facing a potential lifetime ban for gambling, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, the violations occurred while he was with the Pirates last season.
