The Critic

I hope I'm wrong, but I smell a strikeout.

C'MON, JOE, SWIPE SECOND!!!!!

...well, yeah, they DO, just not when the catcher's had the ball for 10 seconds...

That's smallball....their chances of winning just got smaller.... ...and the tying run scores on Crede's single.....oh wait.....that's right..... excuse me.... :puke

What a s***head.

Let's all pray for this kind gentle soul in his time of medical struggle.... :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou Stroke, huh? ....fitting....

Can't disagree with the logic. I think Perez is the tallest midget of the three - is that a compliment on the back of my hand? I think the Sox are still trying to see if Borchard is going to break out. I cannot explain, EVER, the use of Ross Gload in right field.....did I mention EVER?

Just try to argue this point.....JUST TRY IT!!!!!

I'd say maybe.....MAYBE....if he was released, but they'd better not give up a goddamned thing for him. It's possible that being involved in a divisional race would spark him.....yes, it IS SO TOO possible....

50th birthday???

How about the DC Filibusters? Or the Washington Supreme Court? The DC Memorials? ( They could be called the Memos....heh... ) The Legislators? The Presidents? The Monuments? The Anything Political? EDITED TO ADD: No name they can think of would be better than my choice for when they were rumored to move to Vegas - The Las Vegas SEXPOS!!!

cw, ask Nancy if she knows "f*** f*** f***ity f***" by the s***f***s... ...wait, I forgot - are we FOR or AGAINST vulgarity at the ballpark?

Ahhh, Steffy....is there ANYTHING she doesn't know??? She's our Great Big Book Of Everything....

Not necessarily - in some cases the corner guys might just not have the speed needed to cover the larger ground in center. If your corner guys are fast, you might be able to carry a relatively slower CF, but generally speaking, your fastest OF will usually be in center.

Kid, Definitely PM me the link - I'd be very interested in seeing the site. I was stunned to see Hardcore Superstar on your list, as well as great bands like Hanoi, the Dolls, and the Quireboys. I don't have much of their stuff anymore - my Hanoi Rocks stuff was on cassette and my NYDolls and Quireboys were on vinyl, revealing my advanced age - but I like a lot of that glammy stuff, even the new faux-glam like Star Spangles and The Glitterati. I have not heard the demos - I may have to beg for a CD-R of that!!! As far as DMB, "Under The Table And Dreaming" is a very good disc, but I've never been that big of a fan. And just in case you can make it on 8/21, I will wear my WH shirt for identification purposes. I'm in section 529 that day, UD behind the plate.

Is the Burbank police office a poster here? Or was someone else beaten that I can't remember? This line makes you sound very immature and undermines any points you attempted to make. No one would take your letter seriously with this kind of statement included.

If you can find "Earth Vs. The Wildhearts", that IMO is their best disc. Most of their stuff is very hard to find, either imports or out-of-print.

Thread hijack in progress.... HOLY CRAP, another Wildhearts fan!!!! ( Where's the fainting smilie? ) Oh well, I'll settle for this: I agree about TWMBD, but the worst all-time WH disc is Endless Nameless, because of the crap production. There are some GREAT songs buried in that murk, and I for one wish they'd re-record that CD properly. I had to drive to Milwaukee to see them after they dropped the Double Door show, and I lost my ticket money from that show ( I had an identity theft problem - didn't cost me anything but I had to change my CC number ). I wanted to see them at Summerfest, but I was at the Sox game that day and couldn't take the 4-hour round trip after that. "It's Only Love" can NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence as "Loves***" or "Headf***". But since Ginger got hitched, he's a lot less cynical about relationships, so the songs will reflect that, I guess. He's turned his venom on the record industry, a very valid target as always. They didn't play either of those songs, nor did they play "TV Tan", "Suckerpunch" or "Caffeine Bomb", which bummed me out a lot. Rumor is that they're coming back in January on a headlining tour, bringing along Therapy? - I can't WAIT! If that happens, you gotta go - we'll figure out how to meet up! You going to the August 21st game? I'll be there with my nephew, although we're stuck in the upper deck. Most of the time, I go with my wife and daughter, which keeps me too occupied to talk tunes all that much. 4-year-old = multiple trips to concession stands and bathroom. Here are the only games I have on my schedule for the rest of the year: Saturday, August 21 Wednesday, September 1

Looked to me like he went back towards 1st a bit when it appeared that the ball would be caught. It's a mistake in hindsight, but we'd be equally pissed if he got doubled off, which is NOT unthinkable considering the strong throw to 3rd.

Three thoughts: 1 That ball was damn near caught 2 I wonder if Cora sent him or if Gload was looking behind him to see the play 3 Hell of a throw by the RF Gload has made some bonehead plays, but on that ball he has to make sure it hits the ground before he can go.

The most shocking ( and terrific ) number I heard was 29K already sold for Wednesday's afternoon game!!! It's GREAT to not have the stupid attendance argument lately!

Saw the print ad for the Metallica documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" and it seems that their promotional people realize how many people dislike Metallica now. The ad reads in large lettering: AUDIENCES AND CRITICS AGREE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE METALLICA TO LOVE "SOME KIND OF MONSTER"!
