Before I go into an in depth defense of Billy Martin, would you like to explain your position?

Apparently it's not about Hamilton. Listen, I understood the Hamilton decision (and thank god they didn't resign him) and the Kinsler/Fielder deal looks like a real win win situation. Not only did the Rangers have a logjam of Major league infielders, they are loaded with middle infield prospects that could be ready by 2015. I'm a baseball guy. The only white I care about in the game is the color of home uniforms and the ball. That's why I was gobsmacked when I saw all the seemingly racially based comments. Gentry for Choice is an interesting move for both the Rangers and the A's. Gentry is

It's really interesting hearing the Yankee fans and pundit acting like jilted lovers over Robinson Cano. "We didn't want him anyway. He'll be too old at the end." Pshhh. Jacoby Ellsbury is going to be 30. He has 65 career homeruns and two of the last five years he missed a majority of the season. Robinson Cano is a year older. He has hit 204 career homeruns at what is traditionally not a power position (2b). He plays every freaking day (averaging 152 games a year over a nine year career). For you real baseball nerds, Cano has a career WAR of 45.2 averaging 5 WAR a year over his c

I don't know...I just keep expecting people to be better than they are or can be.

I have been a bit shocked and definitely disappointed by what I have been reading on Rangers' sites about the trades. Apparently, there are a not insubstantial number of Ranger 'fans' who are upset that the Rangers are trading off all of their white players. I swear to Jebus that I never expected anything of this nature.

Maybe it's a daughter thing. My son is a lot less judgmental about musical tastes.

Any of you other grey-haired, oldster parent types notice what I am facing. My daughter will listen to The Beatles, love the Bee Gees and like 70's disco. When I mention that I find Lorde interesting, listen to Daft Punk or Radiohead, I am being, at best, ironic or, at the most sinister, creepy.

A little cynical. The execution of this thing is genius. The song is a touchstone of our modern culture and the video adds a surreal bent that is, well, just perfect. It is part of our popular vision of the artist as aueteur that, at one time, was true of Dylan.

The heart and soul of this board and the ultimate expression in fandom.

I'm afraid that the Democrats will rue the day they used the nuclear option. They won't even have a moral high ground to fall back to whenever they lose control of the Senate.

I have a lovely family I am thankful for every waking moment of every waking day

Just one?

This thread makes me melancholy. Lot's of people who used to be regulars (and who make an appearance here in this thread) are AWOL...Missing...Disappeared. I often wonder if anybody would even notice if I were to go AWOL...Go Missing...Disappear.

I had the same feeling. Obligation, while not really having a negative connotation, implies some degree of coercion.

Yeah just...yeah

I always thought that the "Mid-life" crisis was just and urban legend...an old wives' tale...a stereotype about desperate old men. As I find myself staring in the abyss of the end, the soul killing repetitive routine and the desperation of unremitting boredom, I understand. I think I finally understand George Sanders.

Live in the moment. Experience what you will, what you want, what you can. Don't be ashamed of what you like. Don't worry what others think.

Actually, I find that I am not listening to music much these days. Even though I continue to buy stuff. WTF is wrong with me?

There are certain moments after which NOTHING was ever the same...hearing this was one.

Really don't think the Saudis who piloted those planes spent a lot of time playing Call of Duty.

Really dig Vintage Trouble
