The High Heat

Here is the catch! I was able to hear the last inning on XM and this was exciting to hear!

Meaning the Philly area is much larger than the Raleigh area. Still, the two shows kicking off the spring tour in '06 were on the UNC campus and sold out in snap. A show during the school year will sell quickly.

Were the groupies women or men?

According to my in-hand credits Leroy Bach played guitar on: Muzzle of Bees ~ bass -says John played piano & background vocals (Is this true? I'm not reading it backwards, I swear.) I'm a Wheel ~ electric guitar Theologians ~ accoustic guitar Less Than You Think ~ accoustic guitar, loops, filters & synths Wishful Thinking lists Bach as playing vibes. What are vibes? Are they in the percussion group?

From XM in my email today: XM CH. 12, Outlaw Country, will broadcast a five part interview series with Wilco starting Monday, July 27 through the 31st, every night at 9pm EST. I'm not sure which Sirius station that is, if it indeed is on Sirius, too. I also don't know why Wilco is affliated with country music anymore.

LaRoche's post All Star Game stats are usually better than his own pre-ASG stats. He's a "second-half player."

What the fuck is going on with Mets executive Tony Bernazard? Acta and Randolph had trouble with him, too.

And apparently you're talking to yourself. As long as you're a good listener, you'll be fine. Hang in there.

It could be a possible platoon situation for Lowell & Ortiz. Youk plays everyday and Lowell DH's against lefties while Ortiz sits. Papi & LaRoche hit the righties. Youk just shifts back and forth between 1st & 3rd. Lowell's not quite over his hip surgery. He might get DL'ed or either Kotsay or Baldelli get cut. Duncan's in AAA, so cutting Kotsay is less of a risk, because they both hit left. Lugo has offensive positives. As a SS, he's shit. LF may now be the best position for him.

What about groupies?

Maybe, through due intercourse, we could merge this thread with the other and just say Wilco is going Deeper Down.

He's got a pretty damn good teacher. I'm more interested in those 100 bands I (probably) should hear.

Two previously undiscovered Mozart pieces are soon to be unveiled. And we thought the Stones were too old to keep it going.

Which side do I fall on?

The Cardinals traded Chris Duncan to the Sox for Julio Lugo and are trying Troy Glaus out in left field during his rehab. Perhaps the Cards' GM should spend his time trying to trade up rather than hanging out in East St. Louis smoking crack.

Edgar had serious leg injuries early in his career. I know he ripped the pure hell out his hamstring in a Spring Training exhibition game against some university. The game was on the school's field and not up to pro standards. If I remember right, his cleat caught hard while running the bases. He missed a chunk of the year and basically never played the field again. I believe he also had a knee injury later on. He was never fast to begin with, but these injuries left him a shade faster than Rusty Staub.

Art's lucky he got mentioned once.

What are the chances Wilco listens to Green Day? Maybe Doris Day.

I was wondering when someone was going to get that. Thanks for being sharp!

Perhaps Nels' side of the stage was in closer proximity of the beer stand. Or maybe if they stood off to his right while he faced left towards Tweedy, they felt safer, as their faces wouldn't get blown off.

Is this a reference to the gay baseball player from eight years ago?

A plus for him is that he helped secure Seattle as a legitimate major league franchise, removing doubt as to whether a franchise could work out in the Pacific Northwest. While the big names got the national attention, Edgar was the clutch hitter that solidified the lineup. He also was and still is a solid citizen and ambassasor for the Mariners. PLaying for only one franchise should help, voters seem to like that. Defensively he wasn't bad at third, but early in his career he really fucked up his leg. His bat was too important to risk losing, therefore he was regulated to DH. He could have pla

Does Edgar Martinez get in?

What do you think Yogi meant when he said, "90% of the game is half-mental?" I never said anything about heart and passion. You did. Athletes like Rose, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Tiger Woods, Bob Gibson, Kirk Gibson, Joe Montana, Ali, etc. did not rise to the top of their profession merely because their physical ability took them there. Their whole being - everyhting they did revolved around a near obsession to be the absolute best at what they do. Everything they did was focused to an end, the end being a victor and a champion. Montana did not out-class the opposition with his arm and legs on

Controversy is brewing at ANC.
