    Field of Dreams Game

    Learned something interesting…it was James Woods (obvious connection to Amy Madigan) and not Liotta or Costner that voiced “if you build it, he will come.”

    Also, original version had him going to a hearing specialist because he wasn’t convinced to listen to the voice.


     

    Kevin Costner has his own ‘Field of Dreams’ style baseball diamond

    As previously mentioned, Costner has a mansion in Aspen, Colorado. The 160-acre estate features all sorts of cool features including a baseball diamond. As previously mentioned, it’s not just an average baseball diamond. 

    Costner’s baseball diamond has stadium lighting just like Field of Dreams as well as an automated pitching machine and sound system. Instead of cornfields surrounding the field, there are stunning mountain views. 

    The best part is that Costner rents the estate. Granted, it’s for a whopping fee of $250,000 a week. 

     

    Costner’s not done playing a baseball player on screen. Per Cut4 by MLB.com, during a 2016 interview with Larry King on an episode of Larry King Now, the actor offered up a little bit about his next baseball movie. 

    “I think I have one more in me — it has to do with the Cubs,” he said, adding, “I don’t know, I have to get it written.”

    I read it was Ed Harris that did the voice. Harris is Madigan’s husband. 

    Tony LaRussa to plead guilty to lesser charge

    LaRussa entered a plea to a lower charge and the States Atty accepted it in lieu of trial. This is done routinely...thousands of times every day througoput our country ....and on charges more serious than a stationary DUI charge.  And it does not depend on how much money you pay an attorney or as some think,, involve a bribe to the Judge. Pleading to a lower charge  is a necessary  part of our judicial system.  If you haven't been in a criminal Court perhaps you cannot understand this and why it is necessary.  If there were aggravating circumstances the plead would not have been accepted. There may have been mitigating circumstances and certain weaknesses in the State's case that made them accept the plea.

    But as far as moral turpitude involving the game of baseball I give that award to Keuchel,  a guy who was complicit in a cheating scandal involving his own team, a transgression that some consider worse than what Pete Rose did.  And the dude remains entirely unapologetic about it.

     

     

     

    Well said.

    Machado signs with Padres 10/300

    Can someone clear up my confusion. The FO has taken a beating over this and I must be missing something. 

    The Sox offer was 31 plus for 8 years with two options at 70 total yes? He just had to earn it in his age 35,36 seasons with no-opt outs? 

    He took the guaranteed money and opt out with SD? 

    Why are we mad? If that’s what The Sox offered, it sounds pretty good to me?

    I don't post much but as much as I want to say we're done, I think this team showed too much in April/early May to just suddenly go bad. As soon as they won last night I felt like tonight would be a loss. The next 6 games are going to be very crucial. I'm on the ledge but they did so many things right and showed to be good enough to think they'll get thru this.

     

    Fingers crossed.

    Plainfield area.

     

    There is a service (forget out where) called like Chicago Skydiving or Dive Chicago or maybe it's totally different, but its not anywhere near Chicago yet they have Chicago in the name, and lots of people go sky diving out that way. Those people go around with banners all the time, so it is probably from there - at least my best guess. Though, there is an airfield right over here so maybe it is just a fan.

     

    I just thought it was pretty cool. I've never seen that done before.

     

     

    Skydive Chicago. Located near Ottawa, IL. About 1 1/2 hours south of Chicago.

    ahh ok I understand now after re-reading.. but going back to that, I am actually fairly confident that Kane is the longest tenured wrestler in WWE right now..

     

    Its funny thinking about Kane.. he was Isaac Yankem and the Fake Diesel.. and then he became Kane and has had prolly a very easy and fullfilling career.. hes never had to have the burden of being the main draw of the company, but at the same time he has always been a "dominant" wrestler.. pretty sweet gig

     

     

    Wouldn't it be The Undertaker? He's been off for long periods of time with injuries, but I'm pretty sure he was always a part of the roster.

    I would not be surprised to see Jorge Cantu sign a one year deal with the Sox. Also think he underperformed in Texas and could be a good utility player for us. DFA Teahen ;-)

     

     

    Cantu signed with San Diego.

    He wasn't kept on the 25-man all year though and was actually acquired by the Sox during Spring.

     

     

    Not doubting you but I could have swore they took him in The Rule V, he stayed on the 40 man and spent some time in the minors before coming up?

    I remember him pitching against Cle and giving up 5 runs in the 1st inning and then being pretty dominant after that.

    Anyone else think that WWE should make Christian be Jericho's mystery partner? It would re-hash their old partnership and they could spend the next several months trashing Edge leading to his return as a face. Jericho talking about how Edge is unreliable, injury prone and washed up and Christian talking about how he carried E/C back in the day. Tomko is supposedly under contract, bring him back as the muscle and have a nice little stable going??

     

    Wishful thinking??
