It was a bit of a sloppy no-hitter, early on, at least. I actually broke custom of never taking a starting pitcher from the Rox and took him on a Fantasy team this year. I liked how he adjusted his delivery to go out of the stretch ag=fter those rough first five innings. The guy's got an amazing arm. Good for him and the Rockies. It's always great to watch one (I was able to watch most, even while eating dinner at a restaurant- being in Denver they turned the volume up on the game after the 7th) no matter what team it is....

I looked at the same chart and, yes, according to rankings they are an "old" team but I do not see that as their main issue (as noted NYY and PHI are also in the top 10 for highest aged rosters). Ellsbury is young, too, and Youkilis iand Beltre are 31.

BOS really doesn't have an "old" team. Cameron is 37 and Varitek 38 (doesn't play daily). Beyond that, most core position players are in their mid/late 20s, and a few inplayers with a few in the very early 30s. WS contenders from last year, PHI and NYY, are similar for the ages for their core players. It's certainly way too early, imo, to pencil any team in opr out....I'm assuming trades/call-ups/hot streaks/etc. will all apply this season, as well.

The Rays have, generally, been a pesky team for them to deal with. Not a lot of help out of the bullpen for BOS the last week or so....

That's pretty weak. Is he from the area, at least?

Late 80s wer good years for the band, imo. 88 and 89, in particulr) were excellent. New tunes being introduced and all.... Always like those years....And yeah, 91 was decent, too,. Vince finally settled in a bit and a bunch more new tunes....

Cheers, sooie!!!

Yo sooie!

I first read "loft" as "lot." heh.

I know of no one who got Telluride tix. Everyone I know got denied.

Phish's fall Indio run is coming out in 3-D to theaters next month. Trailer:

I was going to do this but my days of having more than 2 leagues at once, I'm afraid, are past me. Thanks, though.

Stu is great. Uncanny how his voice sounds like a 70s Garcia. I've seen them a bunch the past few years around here (coming again in a week or so) and it's always a blast.

Yeah, that MSG show is fantastic the whole way through. Really like the Deal, Estimated w/ Branford and correct, the SOTM is top-notch.

The Birdsong from 1st set is real sweet, too. Except work by Marsalis, here. He and the GD melded very well. The NYE show from this same year features some excellent work by him, as well. He sits in for a few on the first set and the whole second set, as well (NFA->Eyes->DS....and a killer Wharf Rat post-drums, to name a few highlights). I have a tape of the show that has his opening set, too, that is really, really nice.

The bass player for Green Day for Squiggy.

The most eye-opening thing in the Jeter link, to me, is that he's 35 already. Calming eyes and all, time flys.

Load up on outfielders the first 5-7 rounds. Shouldn't that read "balls" instead of "bats?"

Continuous shot at some Canadian art school..."I Got A Feeling"

Oh yeah. Now I remember. So close....

Also, wasn't the "official" taper's section (with tickets and all) kicked off in Eugene in '83? Don't know why that's ringing a bell even though that bell may be unsound.

May have been '84 but I believe the first night of the '83 Eugene shows has Garcia messing up and doing the "headlight" verse to "Rider" twice with a really nice jam in between....Nice screw up, though.

Curriculum changes more often than you think. It's a circular pattern in education. If the people teaching kids are getting more dumb I guess it follows that whomever taught the teachers failed them, and so on. Cramming irrelevant shit down their throats 8 hours a day? This is based on what? Scared? How so? Sounds like a lot of cliched crap to me.

Sounds like some negativity about various ways people learn best. There is no best way to learn. That's why teachers are taught to teach in a myriad of ways with differing modalities, tools, aids, etc. What works for one learner doesn't necessarily work for another. Nothing new there....

Should he have been fired, in your opinion? The article states that he copped to it, offered to resign, went through treatment, and has basically tried to rectify his "wrong" in whatever manner asked of him and then some (asking the league to continue to test him regulalrly). He did pretty much what would have been asked of anybody in most professions caught one time with cocaine in their system, and more.
