Race is a more effective scorer down low than TJD.

Daily Commute Musical Update Heard this one on the drive this morning. Not a song I'm going to download, an album I'm going to rush out and buy, or one that I miss when I don't hear it for a while. But, it's one of those songs that is infectious and brings back some memories. As a baseball-crazed youth in 1970's, this song means the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, et al. I got to attend one of the NLCS games that year. Alas, the Pirates beat my beloved Reds in both that game and the series. As I said, the song is infectious and fun to listen to. Carload of People Approved.

Kind of the way I see it. If he makes it, it's ok. If he misses it, he isn't the one I wanted shooting.

I'm going to predict the following in regards to the WC5 for the MSU game: X starts and plays his usual # of minutes Stewart, Bates, and Lander all play, but for less than 10 minutes Durr does not play

My parents were 100% country music, with some gospel thrown in if it was sung by a country artist. Dad passed when I was in college back in the 80's. But mom didn't pass until last year. I now have literally hundreds of Country music albums from the 60's and 70's. I think I counted over 20 Johnny Cash albums alone. Cash was my dad's favorite. At some point I need to sort through and decide which ones I want to keep, which ones might fetch something if tried to sell it, and which ones aren't worth keeping or trying to sell.

I have this CD, but haven't listened to it in ages. It is a great song.

Beach Volleyball is on right now.

You guys are missing some incredible halfpipe performances in the Olympics.

I was actually hoping you would read it to me.

love this song

He was part of one of the most memorable plays in baseball history.

Don't get me wrong. I like it well enough for it to be Carload of People Approved. But, to enjoy it to the greatest degree, it's better if you are alone. Better environment to take in the unique quality of the song.

Not sure it acquits them. 3 game suspensions are for failing a test. Suspicion of use because of the smell when you walk into a hotel lobby likely falls more under coach's judgement. Too much noise about the weed use for me to believe there isn't something to it. That said, the biggest takeaway I have from the whole episode is how differently the players handled it. there seems to be universal agreement that some handle the suspension better than others.

Glad to see Romeo leave Boston. Just didn't seem like he had any future there. New city, new coach, new system. Hope the Celtics and their fans look back at this trade 5 years from now and regret it.

Daily Commute Musical Update Heard this one on the way home tonight. Steve Winwood is an underrated artist, who is mostly forgotten today. He had some better-known songs (While You See a Chance, Higher Love, Back in the High Life, and Roll With It). Higher Love even won a couple of Grammys. This one is not as well known. But, it is unique, and I will listen to it when it comes on. That said, it's one I would probably prefer to listen to Only In Car By Myself.

Steroids are no longer part of baseball.

Top 5 worst things to happened to baseball 1) Domed Stadiums 2) Shifting and other 'analytics'. 3) The DH 4) Home Run / Walk / Strikeout explosion 5) Relief Specialists

I heard 5 broke curfew, 3 broke another team rule. Your post indicates 2 were engaged (curfew breakers only?) and 3 were not (other violation). Your post indicates 2 of the 3 were sulking and it is known that those 2 have previously been in doghouse. The other who was not engaged in the shootaround is a freshman talking to (being mentored by?) a team captain. Those puzzle pieces seem to go together. Will be interesting to see if some of the suspensions are lifted for MSU while others are not.

Yes. My wife opened an account here for the specific purpose of putting me on ignore.

Made it home before curfew tonight and was piddling around looking at some national stats. This one surprised the heck out of me. I may be misremembering, but it seemed like Al rarely got to the line for us.

I'm high on the prospects for the rest of the season.

How would you rank their odds of making a roster? I see it as: 1) McFadden 2) Hendershot 3) Fryfogle

It's not any single thing. The voice is different, but so is Tom Petty's. And, I love Tom Petty. Could be as simple as he broke out a little before my time. So, I never really listened to him growing up.

Dylan.
