I actually laughed out loud. Thanks Sir Stew

The Phillies got old fast and spent too much money on their starting rotation. They would have been better off trading Cliff Lee at the deadline for some sweet prospects.

Barbarians vs. the All Blacks?

How about a cover of the Allman's version of ONE WAY OUT?

It's a function of the immediacy and proliferation of music, information and media. Familiarity breeds contempt at worst and at best leads to fatigue. Wilco is still a great band, but a lot of us spend way too much time thinking about what should be instead of reveling in the moment. (And I point to my self as a prime offender.) That is because the moments are too readily accessible. Having every song and almost every live performance available at the stroke of a computer key, overexposure to something you love is inevitable.

WE NEED A NEW RECORD

Their cover of ANY MAJOR DUDE a couple of years ago got me to thinking about Wilco Covering Steely Dan. I think they could do a killer version of RIKKI DON'T LOSE THAT NUMBER. Now, for a stranger cover, INTERSTATE LOVE SONG.

Defend and analyze your favorite team!!! Maybe I'm too close to the Rangers, but I think that they are still the best team in the West. While they have some questions, they still have strong pitching and this lineup will rake even without Josh Hamilton. It's a really different picture that it was when I was hearing strong rumblings that the Rangers might end up with Greinke, Hamilton AND Upton. Daniels has always had a plan b. When Cliff Lee jilted them to go back to Phillie, he signed Adrian Beltre. A big win there. When he decided to let CJ walk and went all in on Darvish, it more th

Pitchers and Catchers report is less than three weeks...time for the official 2013 Baseball season thread.

This is an absolutely outstanding record. If I recall correctly, his backing band is a Warren Zevon Tribute band with John Landau's brother on lead guitar. It is the sound of a desperate man on fire and, in my opinion, the greatest live record ever recorded.

Fixed it

I;m not on the ledge, but I'll scattershoot on the Rangers. The only problem I have with Hamilton leaving is replacing his offensive numbers (obviously). He turned into a major distraction and he was an absolute black hole in the middle of the lineup for three months.The Rangers coddled him and enabled his immature behavior. I am looking forward to the first time Hamilton lollygags in the field and/or has a nine-pitch, three outs made game. Scioscia will kick his ass. Daniels may be doing 'money ball' thing with AJ and the big Puma. Looking to cumulatively replace the offensive numbers. But

This offseason has either been an unmitigated disaster or simply disappointing for the Rangers. The following admitted and supposed goals in this off season: Sign Zack Greinke....fail Re-sign Johs Hamilton...fail Get Justin Upton in trade...fail Napoli...not as big a disappointment, but in the end, after the hip issue, he turned down a more lucrative contract The moves that were made? Joaquin Soria...another closer recovering from Tommy John? AJ Pierzynski...THIS is a solution to the catching situation? Lance Berkman...Bad Knees, hasn't played a full season since 2011?

We need a new record...

You should become a fan of the team with the REAL 12TH MAN. Anyway...I think Impossible Germany is a really nice rumination of the effects of being in a band and being in love. Keeping things together against the odds. I also think it is a bit tired these days and should be retired. However, I don't think it will go out of the set anytime soon. It allows Nels to show off his chops and gives the band a bit of the "Jam Band' air that they seem to so want to nurture.

Hell, I'm still reeling at what is approaching 20 years of Cowboy football futility....

Bad day for the great game. RIP Stan Musial RIP Earl Weaver

It is a masterful series. I am also enjoying ELEMENTARY on CBS. Lucy Liu hasn't quite found the right tone for her interpretaton of Watson, but Johnny Lee Miller's psychologically damaged Holmes is a nice turn...It has a much darker and brooding tone.
