Has the offer been rescinded?

thanks for that link. Looks like it's crumbling down on him. Screwing family members is pretty low.

Yeah 60 Minutes did a piece on him I remember being intrigued by. He had made millions supposedly studying financial gurus (mostly on video tapes) for one year. He really came off as a lovable loser who made a fortune. Looks like another case of "too good to be true." Also: they found HGHs in his place? Good lord.

Just responding to stuff, Chiefy. Bonderman will likely go the route of Washburn. Bonderrman isn't worth his current contract, anyway.

And here is probably the worst reason for not doing somerthing: "because it's always been done that way." Never suggested rules needed to be changed. I've seen plenty of collisions at home plate and it just looked like a cheap hit to me. Bah.

No one said it was, or compared it to, Pete Rose cheap-shotting Fosse. I see it as an unneccesary hit, therefore a cheap shot. Looks to me like he went out of his way to steamroll Posey.

Not to beat this thing to death, but even if Cousins is in the base path doesn't mean it's not a cheap shot. Cousins goes from the back side of the line to the front side of the line, on purpose (seemingly), to run into Posey. I don't see that as a clean slide, or a slide at all for that matter. The entire plate was pretty much available to Cousins for a slide.....

Posey has one knee down and one up (the ball was thrown lshort/on a hop)and is positioned in front of home plate with pretty much the entire plate behind him open for Cousins to slide to the back of the plate, even the center of the plate. At least from the clips I've watched, it looks like Cousins went out of his way to barrel into Posey. I'm no catcher but Posey's fielding of the ball didn't look bad to me....

I kind of disagree. Posey was in front of the plate, for the most part, and swept behind himself with the (un) tag (as he didn't have the ball). Looks more like Cousins went out of his way to knock into posey. Unfortunate for Posey, for sure, but i don't think he mis-played the situation....

Ditto, and this as a B's fan. TB has outshot the Bruins throughout the series but has shit the bed where they were supposed to shine (power plays). So has Boston , but that's standard procedure for them. I think Thomas is going to be really hard to get past for two straight games for TB, though, but they most certainly have a shot. Game 4 was a fluke for him, in a sense....

Remove her teeth and claws or poke around (craigslist, etc.) for people in the market for an aggressive cat.

Have you tried reasoning with him? Maybe there's a place in your house just for him? A clset somewhere? The attic? Boiler room? Garage?

More rural than Shanghai. Less rural than Broken Arrow, OK.

And just like that, he was never seen again. Can we get a ruling, Crow?

Not sure I'd call it foolishness as much as unlucky. Doing the big leap onto home plate after a walk-off homer is pretty much rote and expected these days as the entire team waits for the celeb of the game to come home. Bummer for him, though. It's not like Kevin Brown punching the clubhouse wall and breaking his hand or Gus Ferrotte head-butting the wall in celebration and picking up an injury....

Yow. I'll take the Jesus and Mary Chain. More substance to the "noise." I think Jesus Lizard was from Chicago, eventually, too.....

I think I understand where this guy is coming from. I once had someone throw something at my car while driving so I never drove again. And, I also hate to fight. So much so that I'm willing to do it for certain reasons that in the end are trivial. Not only do I hate to fight, but I'm paradoxically really good at it. Go figure.

It was a good show. To be honest, I never liked the GD's version of "Ballad...." I caught one in Hampton before this, too, and it was lackluster. Can't all be home runs with the Dylan tunes, i suppose.... Do you remember a parglider dropping into the back of the race track during one of the shows? I do....

They recently came out with a nice pick from the spring '88 east coast tour (which was excellent, in my hazed memory) form Brendan Byrne on April 1st. That's form the Road Trips series. There isn't a lot of commercial release stuff from the period we're talking about, no, but there's plenty out there, for sure.

Ditto. Caught a lot of earlier ones, too, but that was the era I saw a shitload of shows.

While reserving comment of other eras/years for now, I will say that I think the playing was top-notch in the years cited by Weir and that the band seemed all happy to be playing together and were busting out some new tunes as well as dusting off old ones (Warlocks shows, etc.), regarless of the band's rise in popularity.

Hey they only lost by a run!

Not for nothin' but Weir has said before that he felt the bands peak years, musically, were -87-89. One man's take from inside the machine is all, but an interesting take nonethelesss. I've always appreciated the many styles/eras the band went through, regardless extraneous factors. There were peaks and valleys in every year and every conflaguration of the band (except for fall-winter '73, of course).

Hoot, jeer, hoot, jeer.... Play St. Stephen!

Cheers, Jen!
