  1. But what does he say?! On his way to and up the wall he says: "....with a double dose of confidence like that......" And then CJ finishes the sentence. No, it's some question CJ asks the woman. The woman who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag? Not that she really displays it there, but I got a hunch. IIRC he says something like "are you supposed to do that?" Not positive. I wasn't listening for that part. I will next time. Its on enough. Now I won't see it for a week "Is that how you are supposed to record sound?" I think.
  2. I had to check on Ralph with the Spahn business. I wanted him to be right, and he almost was. He said Spahn hit 37 dingers. oe: still pretty damn impressive he almost got it right. Spahn was also a good hitter, hitting at least one home run in 17 straight seasons, and finishing with an NL career record for pitchers, with 35 home runs. Wes Ferrell, who spent most of his time in the American League, holds the overall record for pitchers, with 37. Also from Wiki: First signed by the Boston Braves before the 1940 season, Spahn reached the major leagues in 1942 at the age of 20. He clashed with Braves manager Casey Stengel, who sent him to the minors after Spahn refused to throw at Brooklyn Dodger batter Pee Wee Reese in an exhibition game. Spahn had pitched in only 4 games, allowing 15 runs (10 earned) in 15-2/3 innings. Stengel later said that it was the worst managing mistake he had ever made: I said "no guts" to a kid who went on to become a war hero and one of the greatest lefthanded pitchers you ever saw. You can't say I don't miss 'em when I miss 'em. The 1942 Braves finished next to last, and Stengel was fired the following year. Spahn was reunited with his first manager 23 years later, for the even more woeful last-place New York Mets, and---referring to Stengel's success with the 1949-60 New York Yankees---later quipped, "I'm probably the only guy who played for Casey before and after he was a genius." I did not know any of that stuff^
  3. Wow, that must have been it. Hey, you might be on to something here with this '73 bidness. We just have to sit tight until August.
  4. Murphy 2.7 Germen 2 Edgin 1

  7. And by that I mean score enuff that he comes in.
  8. I guess at this point I'll be happy if we get to Kimbrel.
  9. sHoTgUn LaGaReS!
  10. That was an ugly Reck. Fun fact: a passed ball is not an error.

Running the bases? I remember a Gibson injury vs the Mets where he hurt himself pitching, and he tried to throw a warm up pitch and just collapsed. It might have been Kiner who was calling it, and he said "Ohhh, he fell down" real sad like. I think that was earlier than 73 tho. 71 or 72. Great pics btw^
  12. Hop-a-long Walden gets the ball for the Braves. I still think that's illegal. As manager I'd protest every game he throws in.
  13. And as I yak away they score runs and I don't even notice. Muffy for 2. 6-2
  14. I mean jeeze, that could be Tims career right there. Hope not. I just started liking him two posts ago.
  15. See, thats the way it works. Gimme some action and no more X-Mas talk. Young was shaken up and upset from doing it. Still very impressed the way Hudson looked like he was consoling Young.
  16. oh wow, very very kool how Hudson shook Youngs hand.
  17. Seriously though, that was bad and it sucks. Hope its nowhere near as bad as it looked.
  18. Thats ashame. Okay, lets get goin, get him off the field. We have runs to score.
  19. ooo, Young stepped on Hudsons foot or leg on a play at 1st, and he is down. YOW! That looked REAL bad. Avoid that replay unless you enjoy seeing bad things.
  20. okay, I'll stop. SCORE EVEN ONE RUN PLEEEEEEEEASE!
  21. Now for Christmas 1967 I got my first Beatle single, Hello Goodbye ...
  22. I think I had all the stuff on that page. 3.77$ for the UNCLE gun! I should have gotten two. Right after I got it I went to my friends house to show him and his dog must have thought I was a threat cuz it charged me and knocked the gun out of my hand. Broke the silencer part. If I didnt cry on the outside, I was crying on the inside. SCORE SOME FUCKIN RUNS U BUMS! DO SOMETHING-ANYTHING!
  23. I got the UNCLE gun Christmas, 1966. Hey Mets, score some runs or Im gonna keep yakkin.

  25. So, to continue.. I was a big fan of The Man From Uncle as a kid and when they showed that camera view from behind I instantly thought of Napolian Solo.
