  1. I'm a White Sox fan and hate the DH rule. If the White Sox are not involved in the game, I'd much rather watch a NL game for the sole reason of the pitchers hitting and the managing that is involved in it. Also I not a big fan that a pitcher can throw at someone and not have to worry about being thrown at themselves. I don't think the Player's Union will ever allow the elimination of the DH or at least they will fight it or get some concessions from the owners. I also think players who played mainly DH(like Frank Thomas) belong in the HOF.
  2. I 2nd this. Read this for a book club a few months ago. Great, interesting read.
  3. First ones that come to mind: Blood on the Tracks/John Welsey Harding/Love and Theft - Dylan Some Girls - Stones AGIB - Wilco
  4. Hopefully the recovery goes well. Lesh is still going strong.
  5. The White Sox (esp. the pitching) are finally showing something. Hopefully they keep it going when they start up with AL again.
  6. I agree with all the above. Finally gotten around and watched this. The audio right up to the start of the songs seemed to change just as the song starts. And Chris definitely comes across as a waster. It would be interesting to ask Larry Campbell who was stranger to work with: Dylan or Robinson. That being all said, I enjoyed the DVD. Campbell really adds alot to the music. Also Rich's lead vocal song were a highlight. I did buy a ticket to their Chicago show, actually lucked out and got a great ticket. Looking forward it.
  7. The Gambler is a great tune. Never made it to Nashville, yet. Drove over it a lot (on the Interstate) going to the Smokies but never stopped. This year, I drove by it the day the Interstate open after the flood - it looked dreadful. PopTodd, how is the clean-up coming along?
  8. The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll - Dylan Casey Jones - Grateful Dead
  9. I agree this season has been great. The new characters and the intro of the "East" side has been are interesting. The whole funeral scene with the funeral director, Tami, and Saracen was one of my favorites. And of course it was nice to have Lyla Garrity back last night.
  10. Opening night looked good. I was surprised to see that tickets were still available the day of the show (or at least the day before when I checked). Here is a review from Mr. Miner's blog.
  11. At first I thought you were talking about Disintegration . I ordered this and waiting for delivery. Did they did good job on the reissue/remastering?
  12. How's this? - I haven't gotten around to get it yet.
  13. Yeah, it's credited: It does look pretty cool. This is my first Nels Cline Singers I purchased (for some reason)- definitely interesting.
  14. This poor guy might remember for other reasons - yikes: From CNN
  15. Potatoe Creek State Park is close. I used to hang out (but never camped) there when I was a kid - nice area. Probably your typical camp ground, but it is close to South Bend. Plus you will probably be tired from the show, anyway. IDNR Site
  16. I think the whole premium ticketing sucks - I never heard of the "requirement of buying two games". I don't think the White Sox do this (though they might start after this year). I could be wrong about the Sox. I haven't bought a premium ticket since they started it.
  17. Thanks for the link.. Liked the below quote:
  18. My sister was a huge Rush fan, she copied a bunch on their stuff from a boyfriend onto 8 track and I used to grab them from her car and listened to them. Kinda stopped listening to them by mid 80s, but my friend had an extra to the below concert. They made the dismal World sound good. It was a fun night - I was happy when they played Trees, it always one of my favorite of theirs. The video screens/visuals were pretty cool too, esp during The Roll the Bones song. Me and the wife still throw on Chronicles and extended drives. Definitely great driving music. I must admit I did like the movie I
  19. Black Limousine - Stones Fast Car - Tracy Chapman Thunderbird - John Hiatt Automobile - John Prine
  20. Here is an article from the New York Times regarding today's Tiger game. At least Galarraga got a car and Gotta love politicians.
