  1. As bad as Pivetta was today he was still Cora's best option considering who was available in the pen. If Nick hadn't already thrown 100 pitches after 5, he would have started the 6th.
  2. One consistent starter and 3 reliable relievers ain't gonna cut it.
  3. I believe the explanation for the SOX only being 4 games under .500 is that they've been successful against the AL Central and AL West where the majority of the teams are truly terrible.
  4. When one looks at the SOX starting staff, the BP as a whole, and the on and (more often) off offense, it's amazing this team is only 4 games under .500 at this point.
  5. Launch them at night so the sun doesn't melt them.
  6. For your well-being let's hope Franchy doesn't hit 2 dingers today.
  7. C. Kluber vs N. Pivetta Pham Dugo Bogey Devers JD Arroyo McGuire Kike Cordero I have to attend a birthday party, so I won't be around to insert my insightful posts. Let's sweep these clowns from Tampa. Go SOX!
  8. A movie should be made about Al Kooper. One of the more interesting characters in Rock music. He had his hands in a lot of things that turned out great. I met him back in 2000 with some drinking mates. Al was on this stage playing a piano; no one else was there, so we enjoyed his music and later we shot the shite with him. A really nice guy.
  9. Right now, they're my favorite contemporary band. They can play anything and they play it well.
  10. IMHO, your taste in music is top-notch and I really like every artist on that list. I just received Mountain Goats' newest release BLEED OUT in the mail a couple of days ago. Like all their releases it's excellent. The only cd I have by Mecca Normal is SITTING ON SNAPS from 1995. MAGGOT BRAIN is a stone cold classic. As for G-Love I have the cd FIXIN' TO DIE from 2010.
  11. That's a great list, MOON, but nothing obscure. I have about 16 cd's by a band called KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD. They debuted in 2010. They've been getting less obscure in recent years, but still obscure to many.
  12. I've got a truckload of cd's by obscure bands and artists. Someday we'll have to converse about that.
  13. Tull is a good argument, but Rare Earth? gimme a break. Other then one huge hit and being the first hit-making white band to be signed by Motown, I think Rare Earth is really a stretch.
  14. Not sure about Jethro Tull being a far far far greater omission. Tull was a damned good progressive rock band and PR&TR was a damned good straight ahead R&R band. They were from two different eras. They both should have been inducted a long time ago. It took DEEP PURPLE forever to get inducted. Then they waited until Lou Reed was dead before they inducted him. Dumb bastards.
  15. They also recorded a sequel titled LOUIE, GO HOME that was a regional hit, but never caught on nationally.
  16. And the SOX clinched the series.
  17. I just read where they are inductees of the Oregon R&R HOF.
  18. I agree. That's something that will never be said about me. My strong suit is Rock 'n' Roll and Rhythm & Blues.
  19. Is it me or was baseball a better game all around before the 'nerds' got involved?
  20. Familia another reliever where 3 outs is a bridge too far. Dugo's catch has kept this from being even more disastrous.
  21. Great catch by the guy who isn't good defensively according to Fking WAR.
