QUOTE(alexgtp @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) thank GOD we still have a chance at the wild card! Green???

Wow...I hate this game day thing as I saw that 5-2 post before the play, and it hurts that much more. Good thing Viz is in there since he has been so brutal on the opposition all year. Can't Bossard get out there and pitch? Can we bring him on the road with us??? Wow...tumbleweeds are getting ready to roll across the outfield at the Cell.

Well ya know, we are facing the Royals during a hot streak, so we shouldn't feel bad.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) What's the score? 3-2, the 1926 Yankees are winning.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Go to Google, type "Failure", and hit I'm Feeling Lucky. That's pretty funny.

I love that film, and segment, my only problem is the dubbing of Karloff though. The voice needs to be there. One of my fave Karloff performances is that of the old man in Comedy Of Terrors. The man was brilliant.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Rowand did that against Anaheim last Friday. Molina isn't the smallest guy either. And if I remember right Hawk started ripping into him about how stupid it was. Never compare Aaron to anybody. That boy is just friggin' insane.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) No matter which solo Beatle one likes better, I don't think anyone would argue that the any of the Beatles were better solo than the magic they made together. ...for years my Wings stuff got more play. I got burnt out on The Beatles though...big time. The Beatles never recorded "Juniors Farm".

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) Did you miss the green on those minor musicals? The Sound of Music is one of the greatest movies ever made. It's so uniquely special in the movie world. Yeah, I was hoping the ULTRA-sarcasm would come through. Though I have never been a musical fan...unless it has a guy with a painted mustach, a fake Italian, and a mute redhead in it. Or The Andrews Sisters are working their magic.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) Yeah, he would have made an important contribution to cinema had he done nothing other than to edit the greatest folm ever made (Kane). But to have gone on to direct so many important films in so many genres over the next 50 years is pretty astounding. Kid, I'm completely floored that Day the Earth Stood Still didn't make your top 3 Wise flicks. I'd have put it above all those you listed, except possibly Curse of the Cat People. I'm among the few that thought Star Trek the Motion Picture was a quality film. That was directed by Wise as well. I just forgot to put it in there. But honestly, it's a tad plodding at times, and I am more of a Horror kid in many ways. The Haunting is one of my all-time faves, and The Body Snatcher will always be at the top by default, it has Karloff in it and none of the others do, so it beats every single one of his other films without even blinking an eye. Karloff in any film instantly qualifies it as one of the greatest films ever made. Him, Groucho Marx, Buster Keaton, Vincent Price, and Peter Cushing, those are my film idols. I will watch any of those people in anything. I also enjoyed Star Trek: The Motion Picture and was enthralled by it in the theater when I was a kid. I never did get the directors version DVD though, and really should.

He's making up for the errors last night. I'm afraid to listen to the game today. They lost last night as soon as I turned the TV on.

Thanks for the replies. Those numbers are MUCH better than what it feels like they should be.

Well, I'm from Harvard. I drove to work from Harvard. When I go out of town, I am coming from Harvard. Bush drove (or flew...whatever) to the White House from Texas. He has been in Texas for quite a while. Mel Gibson is from Australia. It's where he made his name and became what he is. But he was born and lived in the US. But I bet he will tell you he is FROM Australia.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Sad to see him go. However, he is lucky to live a very fulfilling life and make it to 91. Prayers are with his family. Agree 100%. His passing is going to be a celebration of an amazing life, and an influential person. He had important works in all genre's. Amazing to think he worked with both Welles and Val Lewton.

Paul (and especially with Wings)>>>>>>>>>>>>>George>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>John>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ringo. I'm not much of a post-Beatle John fan. I think his stuff suffered from wanting to be too much of an "artist" and forgetting he was a Rock and Roll star. Somebody needed to make him relisten to his Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent albums again.

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=1128247 My three faves: The Haunting The Curse Of The Cat People The Body Snatcher He also did a couple of minor musicals called The Sound Of Music and West Side Story.

Yeah, he's from Texas, shouldn't that read "I gotta take a f***ing piss like a bull before a rodeo!"???

I'm not trying to discredit the guy, I just get a bit of an uneasy feeling when he is behind the plate. But I put that more as a credit to AJ than as a full discredit to Widger. I think AJ just makes out guys that much better.

I've been wondering this one for awhile now. How many games have we lost with Widger behind the plate? It has just been seeming like our pitching has never been as good when he was at the plate. Just speculation here, but does anybody have the numbers? I don't know how to get them...sorry...not that good at that type of stuff.

Nope, still geeks. no...I did not get my entire family (25+ people) to rearrange summer vacation plans next year so I wouldn't have to miss my Godzilla convention...I would never do that...

Well, we know Pods can "turn it on". Look who he's marrying.

The good thing is that I was getting tired of placing all of my hate on the Twins and I had forgotten how much I used to HATE the Indians! Now I get to start that all over again and remember the fun of hating that team!

Soxfest??? Bahhhh, conventions are for geeks.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 08:35 AM) I'd rather not have the opportunity to waste my Saturday watching El Duque give up moon shots. True, I would rather the Sox have a deal in place like the Black Hawks do! That would be friggin' sweet!

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) Keep the positivity. Otherwise, how do we expect the Sox to? Aren't they the ones who are supposed to be energizing us? Making us care?
