Sparky speaks

Sox(Red) are starting to depress me......Too bad they couldn't pull off that trade. Pitching is looking real shaky. Now Bay is hurt again. I'll have to come out of retirement. Don't think I'll be watching any of the drubbing they are going to get from the MFY this weekend.

He wanted Cecil Copper to pop up to Pete Rose for me. I could have done that. He also had a thing for Jim Burton. By the way Can, did you ever return those porno videos that you forgot to return during Spring Training back in Winter Haven? Talk about esoteric references.

Nah, I'm Jim Willoughby.

Great show. Great venue. For a 67 year old guy, he can still put on a show. From Beatles classics to a couple of his newer songs I thought the show was very consistent. Being the third time I've seen him the excitement of going to the show wasn't the same as the first time but you get nothing but quality. Highlights for me were Live and Let Die which I'm sure woke the neighbors up in the Fenway with it's pyrotechnic display, Helter Skelter, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Lady Madonna, Get Back and his tributes to John and George. There were two giant screens on either side of the stage so

I like Guthrie Fogelberg and Tweedy Westerberg. Make up your own....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_singer-songwriters

Just saw a clip about a movie at the Los Angeles Film Festival called Passenger Side on Sundance Channel. Wilco's song of the same title opens the clip.

The blockbuster trade that almost was........Gotta give Theo credit..... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/marinersblog/2009591133_mariners_turned_down_three-way.html#continue

That's how I feel too. Just numbered them to be as cooperative as possible.

Nice avatar.

Mike.....I edited my previous list into groups of five starting with best five......Hope that helps in assigning points in your tally.

Last edit......I numbered them to prove that I can...... Edited to four groups of FIVE......Each set of five is no order of preference but they are tiered. Don't think I can rank much better than this. Hope this helps in assigning points. If I had to make a mix of Tweedy songs for someone who wasn't familiar with them these are the 20 I would include beyond a doubt. Top five(best) 1.Acuff Rose 2.Forget the Flowers 3.Red Eyed and Blue 4.I Got You 5.Impossible Germany Second tier of five(next best, etc.) 6.Misunderstood 7.IATTBYH 8.Hate It Here 9.Should've Been in Love 1

I could not tell Jeff was the other vocalist on that one. Not really a duet IMO. Well, it is her album.

No. They knew and let them go. Remember how the Sox put Manny on waivers in the Fall of 03 and no one claimed him? I think they tried to start cleaning house before the word got out about their PED use.

Great look. Red Eyed and Blue and I Got You have to be in there somewhere. Maybe as bonus tracks.

My selections are a double album as I hear them tracklisted Disc #1 Starting Over Maybe I'm Amazed What is Life? Isolation My Brave Face Watching the Wheels Heart of the Country Gimme Some Truth Live and Let Die Hold On I'm the Greatest Disc #2 Instant Karma Figure of Eight Apple Scruffs Woman is the N****er of the World Give Me Love Mind Games Jet I'm Losing You Any Road My Love Liverpool 8

I expected sooner or later Ortiz would be named. 54 homers in "06" to 0 for the first two months of this season kind of did the trick for me. The whole list should be released now that names are leaking. This should have been dealt with over the winter when Aroid's name came out. I suspect Damon, Nomar,Pedro and a few other past Sox are on the list as well. Most had dramatic drop offs in performance in a relatively short period. I always believed the Red Sox let some of these people go for PED reasons. I think they figured Big Pappi was too much of a fan favorite to dump him but now I expe

Why not?

What if Wilco could only release seven albums which ones would you choose in the order they were released?
