Labor Day Music: songs about work and workers
The High Heat replied to gogo's topic in Someone Else's Song
"Allentown" by Billy Joel Does Ryan Adams' "Tina Toledo's Street Walkin' Blues" count? -
The Rockies acquired DH Jason Giambi and starter Jose Contrares. The Dodgers acquired DH Jim Thome and starter Jon Garland. The acquistions are similar, and yet quite, quite different.

It's true! My reaction was . They also acquired Jon Garland.

Are we doing Dylan's weekly schtick now? Ok. Roy Orbison's "Working for the Man" -
Great tension-building guitar solos

There is no ire in my post. The playing field has never been level and never will be, no matter the system. I had just been thinking recently that it would have nice to see the Rays make a good hard run at the wild card, seeing how the Sox have been vulnerable all summer. Since the Rays have prospects, it also would have nice to have them been a part of the Halladay pursuit. That, too, would have been a great baseball move: To add to what they have, rather than to be like the Twins & A's of this decade, good teams with good plans yet unable to rise to a championship because they can't add.

This is rather rude...but then again it is Glenn's Stick Bag asking about a package to give his new girl.

Had no idea Richard Russo had a new novel out until I saw it in a Kitty Hawk bookstore while I was on vacation a couple weeks ago. Just started reading it today.

The Rays, however, are still in contention and probably will be for the next few years. They shouldn't be put into the position where they are trading away a top starter (which are hard to find, wether he's a #1,2 or 3) because a team with more money will take on his salary. The Rays already traded Edwin Jackson and Jason Hamel with a plan of keeping Kazmir as their #2 starter, but they cannot risk the money left on his contract because of his health (and sometimes performance due to health) concerns. True, the Rays received 3 - not 2 - prospects, but they are a contender and contender plays f

I guess I can't use that pic as my avatar. Perhaps I should try that BJ emoticon. -

I'm sorry, but anytime I see something that looks like it belongs in the Amazon crawling or sliding about my premises it's too late for the little critter. I've been this way ever saw this photo of a brown recluse spider bite: Moderator edit: NSFW Oh yeah, enjoy your lunch, folks. -

Maybe Dylan is following in the footsteps of his former cohort: "Jesus wept. Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."

What's a word for "thread being taken way too seriously?"

Just one more thing Jeff learned from Jay Bennett.

Perhaps it'd be more appropriate for the Mets to change the grass design in center field from '69 to '79.

The Mets' Mess' season had its nutshell moment in the first inning of Sunday's bizarre game when the starting pitcher, Oliver Perez, was taken out of the game with a 3-0 count on the opposing pitcher, Pedro Martinez. Martinez, making his return to Queens, got to hit against two pitchers from his former team before he took the mound to pitch. Pathetic. Santana is going to see the doctor. Francouer has a busted thumb. Tom Seaver may have to change his HOF cap to the White Sox. Ron Swoboda is coming out to not only announce that he is the gay Met, but also to admit that he was on steroids for

I'm sure if you and Jeff found yourselves together with some time to kill, he'd sit and listen to your song and offer some advice as a courtesy. However, established musicians, writers and artists generally don't accept unsolicited material, mainly by direct orders from their managers and lawyers. Reason being: The established artist does not want to be in the position of being accused by an unknown artist of plagarism or theft of an idea for a piece of work. I know this first hand. A few years back I wrote a novel entiltled Deciphering Leonardo and mailed the manuscript to an established au

Weirdest game of the year was played Sunday when the Phils beat the Mets. Brad Lidge finally got a save, but had to rely on an unassisted triple play by 2B Eric Bruntlett to end the game.
