When transformative young president John is murdered, the investigation quickly centers around Lee, an oddball ex-Marine of nebulous ideology, who proclaims himself a patsy. When Lee is subsequently murdered, crusading New Orleans District Attorney Jim is the only one who believes him, and his subsequent investigation opens up a criminal conspiracy so vast that I'll probably be killed shortly after hitting submit on this post.

I went for four. I could be convinced to elevate it to five. It kind of conflates itself with The Year of Living Dangerously in my head (scary times for foreign correspondents in a tumultuous time for a South Pacific nation), but is probably a better film despite a more quotidian approach.

I dunno, but it's not like gambling interests haven't made many a fortune by using freebies to get newbies into the house.

Two cool Whitey Herzog facts: 1) His full given name was Norrel Norman Elvert Herzog. 2) He and Mary Lou (née Sinn) Herzog were married for 71 years.

I guess that suggests the proportion of suckers in the betting pool is up.

That's some dry tone.

A FB friend o' mine was lucky enough to interview Erskine as a journalist. Carl had started the first game for the Dodgers in Los Angeles, before a crowd of something like 90,000. Making matters more complicated was that he was without his longtime catcher, Roy Campanella, whose career famously ended in a car wreck the previous off-season. New catcher Johnny Roseboro sensed that Erskine was un-nerved by the massive crowd and Opening Day atmosphere, so kept firing the ball back to the pitcher, hoping to keep his focus on the task at hand. This, of course, contrasted markedly with the style of the genial Campanella, who liked to return the ball with nice, easy soft-tosses. Carl finally called time and motioned for Roseboro to come talk with him at the mound. The young catcher asked what was wrong. "Nothing," Oisk told him. "It's just that the catcher isn't supposed to throw harder than the pitcher."

Met legends Whitey Herzog, Roger Craig, Juan Berenguer, Vince Coleman, and Joel Youngblood . Some hot, steaming side dishes of Ray Burris, Norm Sherry and Clint Hurdle are also on the menu. Despite the low-res video, players are quickly and easily identified by the lovely font size on their name plates. Not to make too much out of punch-ups, especially with the "best fans in baseball" tossing **** at the Giants, but Whitey Herzog was consistently one of the best shows in the game in the 1980s.

I celebrated Carl Erskine as alive at 97 just yesterday in the IGT. I hope this one isn't on me.

No votes or reviews for this yet. Not even a film poster!

Maybe his bookmaker wasn't willing to take bets from him on action where he might have an inside track. Or maybe it's a lot harder to cover your tracks when you're tracking through your own house.

Never have I ever seen this. I find that I have, for decades now, been Ethan Hawke-averse.

My guess is that the interpreter will be his attorney and he won't be taking any questions.
-
It sure would. But it even if true, it wouldn't take much for the interpreter to come around to the position that it's more in his interest to take the bullet for his guy with the faith that his guy will take care of him and his down the road. A perhaps-not-very-kind part of me wants this to explode into a disaster just to get MLB and organized gambling out of the same bed.

While the two scenarios Braden mapped out are pretty much the main two I would suspect, his questions at the end seem a little obtuse. Also, holy crap! I'm getting my analysis from Dallas Braden! Does Placido Polanco have a hot take?
-
Story gets front-page Times treatment.

Wow. in 2024, I'd've figured there was little reason for people to do their gambling through an illegal bookmaker, but I guess the idea is to make your activity less traceable when the money you're gambling isn't yours. Sounds like it's still an open question as to whether Ohtani is in the clear.

Perhaps the goofiest part is that Keith wore a number on the front of his uniform as a Cardinal too. AND as an Indian. I guess there's some version of a uniform he wore without a number on the front, but it was more or less a constant throughout his MLB career.
-
Gosh, Keith needs neurological workup, STAT. As for this spring, the number-on-front is certainly less prominent, wrapped around the left side of the ribcage.

Probably second only to Heaven Help Us in the Mary Stuart Masterson oeuvre (although Gardens of Stone has its partisans). Cast went together to the premier of Pretty in Pink and were so surprised by how similar the love-triangle/wrong-side-of-the-tracks plot elements were that they spent the rest of the shoot singing "♪♬Aren't we ... Pretty in Pink!♪♬" Although Pretty in Pink has the more iconic soundtrack, this film's selections are far more interesting and thoughtfully curated with more of a B- or C-team of dramatic alternative pop acts. (No version of the song that gives the film its title appears in the film or credits roll!) About 83% of the comedy comes from Elias Koteas' supporting role, and it kinda shoulda been a breakthrough performance for him a la Jack Black in High Fidelity or Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, but that just didn't work out, and that's all very sad.

Newsday and Gary Binford sure seem to think the whole incident was on Felix.

Ed Ott: Frequently referred to by Bob Murphy as owning the shortest name in baseball history. I've never been able to find video of the fight, but I feel like I have it recorded pretty accurately in my head. It also opened the door for Joel Youngblood and Bobby Valentine at second base. Neither stuck there, but it kind of provided the germ for two pretty definitive Mets careers to get going. They eventually replaced him by moving Doug Flynn over there, so that's sort of three chapters in the Mets story opening up as one was cut short.

Yeah, I know, you're probably thinking, "Those are some interesting freaks haunting Sandy Koufax's motel, but it's not like any of them are Mick Ronson or someone like that!" Well, one of them is. [FIMG=500]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/6f/ba/2f6fbade054060ad5f9039d7292031d2.jpg[/FIMG]

It's almost always good money to bet on any band that includes a guy named "Nigel."

Today's guests of honor at the Tropicana Motel are The Alarm — big haired Welsh post-punkers who struggled to get past derivative directions, but had their moment. Maybe a moment and a half. Pictured here in the Johansen Spot by the kidney-shaped pool are (l. to r.) Nigel Twist, Eddie McDonald, Mike Peters, and Dave Sharp [fimg=650]https://media.gettyimages.com/id/84258508/photo/the-alarm-rock-group-portrait-session.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=EL7O_WSGiexuBhNKtWXkk7mv2J2oEJKR3XbWB3xFPlU=[/fimg]
