Wilcology

Oh man, that would be the most annoying thing ever.

You could have it delivered to the thiefs apartment, and steal it from him. But that makes no sense.

It's that slider he throws.

Does anyone like Ann Coulter? Her family probably gets pissed off at her. She reminds me of Frau Blooker from Young Frankenstein....don't know why.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Twins pitching sensation Francisco Liriano will have major surgery on his left elbow and is likely to miss the 2007 season.

 

Liriano, who went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA as a rookie, will have Tommy John surgery on Monday in California, the team said Friday.

The ligament transplant procedure usually takes at least a year for recovery.

 

Liriano pitched only six innings over the final two months because of pain in his left elbow. With veteran Brad Radke expected to retire, the AL Central champions will need help to bolster their rotation.

This makes me sad, and frustrated because without Francisco, the Twins aren't really a World Series threat. But whatever can bring him back to 100% or the next closest alternative is something I'm willing to get behind. Apparenly John Smoltz had the same surgery, and hes still around.

Is that the off season thread?

2008 is going to be my first time to vote. I'd love to see Barack on the ballot. (Unintentional alliteration)

I'm so glad I'm not a Tigers fan, because if I were I would be absolutely livid right now. The errors....what's with the errors?

In Handshake Drugs he switches from an acoustic guitar to an electric guitar mid-song. It's amazing. The way he comes in and just adds to the song, wow.

I heard them every once in a while when I lived in the Twin Cities. About once a week.

Haven't heard them in Arkansas yet...

Couldn't agree more dude, thanks for saying that!

Wilco is GREATER THAN. Not greater than or equal to.

Being There is my favorite Wilco record. It was the first I purchased after my uncle said "It's practically the soundtrack to my life." I was absolutely enamored with all things Wilco after I listened to BT once all the way through. I still am.

I see the point. And the guy is singing his heart out. I feel for him.

I hate to oversimplify it, but he just seems to be overreacting. What is this whole "communal experience" thing about? How is it different from a Wilco show?

It's not a popular opinion because most of us are taking it in the context of what happened. At least put yourself in his position, you'll probably see things differently.

You mean put myself in the position whos getting paid to play the acoustic guitar? And in front of fans who worship him no less. Maybe I'm not seeing your point....

I would be quiet if I were at a show because I paid money to see it. But, as a ticket buyer I also deserve to not be treated like a 3rd grader.

At least he realizes it and says "I had a hissy fit the other night in Portland."

I know this isn't a popular opinion.

I think he's a little too bitchy about the talkers.

I only made it through "Black Eye" because I have to go to bed really soon. But I have a few questions:

Who is the guy with sunglasses that sings along with Jeff? And when they're going over the setlist, what song do you think they are both shocked to see on the list? Just speculation is all I want.

Well, they do keep an eye on what is being said here, pretty routinely.

Crazy

The National League is soooooo boring. The Cardinals are there every year, and is it just me or does the NL seem completely void of anyting close to competition? Sure there was a forced game 7, but look who won. Am I wrong here? The Cardinals are an all too frequent team in the playoffs, kind of like the Yanks in the AL. Whatever happened to the Giants, or the Mariners. Diamondbacks anyone?

Rant over.

I like how on the site the press release is titled "The Real Story Behind the Springfield Massacre." They also said that "sensationalized" stories had been circulated, so how often do they come to this board do you think?

The music just *cuts* out. It still freaks me out just as much today as it did when it was all happening. I knew there would be video of it to.

I was really scared they were going to leave after "Airline" last night. I'm very thankful that they didn't.

"OK here's the deal: You guys have to stay down there, or this thing won't work out." I was so shocked when I saw Jeff manhandling that guy, and it was pretty scary too. I thought the show was really great other than that low point. Pretty cool venue as well.
