Speaking of new stadiums, there was a piece on ESPN last Sunday about how the mostly city/people-subsidized new Yankee Stadium is an unfair shake in many ways towards the people of NY and the denizens of the immediate area, let alone a sham in terms of how the money/loans were aquired and expected to be paid back. I think there is an investigation going on. Anybody else see this/shed light on it? I didn't catch the whole piece.

Not only that, but the NYYs helped make the AL East the competitive division it is, in essence making those around them play better. I do understand the gripe about the current system as it makes for unbalanced schedules, but to be carping about it now because his team sucks is a little funny. There are plenty of folks who do not like the current system.

"Best team" by what standards? The better overall record of the two teams? Pythagorean theory? Team that had the tougher regular season schedule? Best era/ba/OBP/whatever? There are way too many factors to blanketly state that the best team wins the WS only about half the time. We all know there is some luck involved in getting to the WS, but there's luck involved in the game being played in May or July or whatever, too. To say the "better" team didn't win a game/series in July against an opponent would be irrational, so how is it rational in a 7-game series in the playoffs/WS? The team

BOS clinches playoff berth. Consequently, NYY out of playoffs.

Sheffield to "get even," "off the field, on the field" with guys who took "cheap shots" at him after he charged Carmona: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors/post/Sh...?urn=mlb,109815

BOS, breaking with tradition in retiring numbers, to retire Johnny Pesky's number: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basebal...&position=0

I don't watch it anymore. I can get all I need from the paper. It's just a little too annoying, plus there's usually a game on in lieu of it.

Cheers.

Cool. I'll give a sling.

I always liked Kornheiser's Washington Post columns, too.

Mute works well, too. Yeah, they kind of get on my nerves. Just too much talking in general. I guess it melds with how ESPN Sports Center promotes itself these day, though. As a "hip" sports re-cap show.

I'm thinking the Pats need to upgrade their spy technology. Either that, or Brady is a huge factor??

Is that worth the effort for me to get? I've heard mixed opinions....

That'd be great. Or C. Everett Koop.

Today is Tommy Lasorta's birthday. That'd make a nice costume, I bet.

When were you there and why aren't you now?

That Citgo sign design is cool. Always one of my first memories of going to games in the early 7Os.

Cheers to you, Kalle.

Clip of sound check for New Year's '87 a couple minutes in finds them doing two (brief clips) versions of "Sittin' on top of the World," among "Pocky way," others....It's grainy and not great sound but worth it for the "Top of the World" versions (starting at about 2:55): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orBw3RdU0-M...feature=related

"The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)." Pretty decent montage, to boot. Stock photos, but still:

I believe I've heard a few of these over the years. I don't think I have any available to send to you, though I will check. Most likely, I have them as filler on cassettes somewhere.

I always figured that the falsetto-like vocals for the chorus at the end might have been a problem, particularly as they aged and the song hadn't been brought back. Although, P & F still play it.

Cheers, Tweedling.... :badger :badger
