  1. AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS RASBSTTDUMU (Record After Sky Blue Sky That That Dude's Uncle Made Up)
  2. And that they have basically the same chord progression but in a different (I'm pretty sure if you play Far Far Away with a capo on 5 you've got SBS.)
  3. I liked TT5B. Though there were some cringeworthy lyrics.
  4. I cannot wait for Monday. The Marlins announced their starting center fielder today, and it's a kid who's got some major skills but has never played above Double A. .720 career minor league OPS, but he destroyed the Grapefruit league, and since he have no other options who actually did something during ST who have a higher pedigree, I'd say he's the guy to go with.
  5. Shit, you are right. I'll replace Wide Awake with Astral Weeks. Final offer.
  6. Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Beatles- Abbey Road Radiohead- OK Computer Bright Eyes- I'm Wide Awake It's Morning The Clash- London Calling While not necessarily my favorite albums of all time, they are each quite varied and diverse, both musically and emotionally, and I think I'd need that if I could only listen to 5 albums forever.
  7. I missed them at Langerado, so I didn't think they'd be back. I'll be looking forward to their set at Bonnaroo though.
  8. Holy crap, that might have been the best play I've seen in a long time.
  9. It's not the best thing they've ever done, and Jeff sounds kind of lazy on it. Probably should've been a Loose Fur song.
  10. And the Marlins respond to the criticism that they didn't make any serious moves this offseason by dealing for Jorge Julio. Awesome job, guys! We're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic... No move is better than this move...
  11. If I had HD I would be all over this. It looks incredible.
  12. According to Peter Gammons, the 02 ASG ended in a tie because of a drunk pitcher: One of baseball's silliest notions is to pretend the All-Star exhibition "means" something, more than the price ticketholders spend in September, when games should be more important than something no one cares about. As it turns out, the reason the 2002 All-Star Game ended up tied was that a pitcher on one of the two teams was imbibing in the clubhouse and was not in condition to pitch, hence the game ended. And that's how home-field advantage is decided in the World Series, not by regular-season excellence.
  13. He'll be one of the better #5's in the game, and I think he may be better than Garland...
  14. Live draft update: I just got Jose Reyes for 41 bucks. The fact that Albert Pujols just went for 58 dollars, Chase Utley went for 37, and Carl Crawford went for 39 makes me feel much better about it. And Arod goes for 43 dollars. Wow, I feel much better about this.

  15. I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again, John's bass playing on this disc is worth the price of admission.
  16. I'd like to see it make a comeback. Whats the highest toal in recent years? I know Randy Johnson had 8 in 2002 and AJ Burnett had 7 the same year, and I can't remember anyone having that many since. Livan Hernandez had 9 in 04
  17. See I disagree. The Marlins have been in the top half in the league in saves with Braden Looper, Armando Benitez, Todd Jones, and Joe Borowski in the past four years. None of those guys have ever been considered lights out pitchers, but the Marlins put them in the closer role, and they thrived. You plug an average pitcher into an easy situation and he'll make you look good.
  18. Jeff called me last night and we talked for a few minutes and he told me that this is in fact Wilco's last record. He also invited me to join the new band he's putting together, The Jeff Tweedy Experience. Look for that one to drop this fall, bitches.
  19. I've got no stats to back up this argument, but I would say they probably do it at least 33% of the time they go in for a save. And either way, most pitchers, even the worst in the game can go one inning without giving up a run most of the time. Because it is rare to see a pitcher with a 9 ERA, which is what theirs would have to be in order to blow every single save opportunity if put in with a one run lead.
  20. You are correct, Sky Blue Sky is in fact the last Wilco album, chronologically. For those of you playing along at home, it goes as such: AM BT ST YHF AGIB SBS
