And seattle has a ray.....

Did you vote in the poll?

Some are wondering if it's a phantom DL just to keep his innings down.....

And aside from the giant shark, three guys were having fun and getting drunk on the Orca.....

Why would you do that to that author, did he kick your dog or something?

I disagree, America certainly was great once upon a time.....

They were responding to a poster who claimed he couldn't remember when the team was such crap. Citing the years they won doesn't answer that......

You don't have much of a memory then.......

lol

Nearly all of the makeup and costume designs used in The Wizard of Oz went through numerous revisions and changes before and during filming, and Morgan’s outfits were no exception. Since the portions of the film in which Morgan appeared (the Emerald City and Kansas sequences) were the last to be filmed, there was even more time to fiddle with the outfits worn by his various characters. Although Morgan did not make his first appearance before the cameras until 14 January 1939, he posed for makeup/costume test shots of all of his characters in mid-November 1938. On 17 November 1938 (while the scenes in the Tin Woodman’s forest were being filmed), Morgan tested his Professor Marvel makeup on the set, using the same costume he had worn for his Wizard test shots the day before. Six days later, Morgan again posed for test shots of the Professor Marvel character, this time with a different hairstyle, jacket, and tie. The story behind the jacket selected for this second shot (and ultimately used in the film itself) is one of the most curious of all Oz anecdotes: A tattered coat selected from a local second-hand shop by MGM’s wardrobe department turned out to be a garment originally owned by Oz author L. Frank Baum himself. Once gainsaid as “an example of the lies press agents are willing to tell in order to get a story in print,” the story of the jacket’s origins was retold and affirmed by Aljean Harmetz in her book The Making of The Wizard of Oz: What definitely did occur on The Wizrd of Oz — perhaps the most astonishing thing that did occur — was dismissed as a publicity stunt. Yet it is vouched for by [cinematographer] Hal Rosson and his niece Helene Bowman and by Mary Mayer, who served briefly as the unit publicist on the picture. “For Professor Marvel’s coat,” says Mary Mayer, “they wanted grandeur gone to seed. A nice-looking coat but very tattered. So the wardrobe department went down to an old second-hand store on Main Street and bought a whole rack of coats. And Frank Morgan and the wardrobe man and [director] Victor Fleming got together and chose one. It was kind of a Prince Albert coat. It was black broadcloth and it had a velvet collar, but the nap was all worn off the velvet.” Helene Bowman recalls the coat as “ratty with age, a Prince Albert jacket with a green look.” The coat fitted Morgan and had the right look of shabby gentility, and one hot afternoon Frank Morgan turned out the pocket. Inside was the name “L. Frank Baum.” “We wired the tailor in Chicago,” says Mary Mayer, “and sent pictures. And the tailor sent back a notarized letter saying that the coat had been made for Frank Baum. Baum’s widow identified the coat, too, and after the picture was finished we presented it to her. But I could never get anyone to believe the story.” That an old coat of Baum’s might have turned up in a second-hand clothes shop near MGM was certainly plausible, as the author resided in Hollywood for the latter part of his life. However, the documentation behind this legend is rather skimpy.

I just looked at the sox remaining schedule and they only have 2 series left against sub .500 teams, the rangers and the royals. So at this point I think it's fair to ask, how many games under .500 do you think the sox will finish?

gausman is a beast and crawford is, well, not........

Provided he has a desire to stay in beantowne......

Another move by orlando that is paying big dividends. I hope jh gives him a 5yr extension!!

Good, I hope they accept them and have a repeat of this season.....

It's a site issue. People that talk out their ass should get a 24hr ban......

Nasty Nestor to the DL and the Yanks call up Weissert.

Or the bigger question may be will he want to stay?

What's another loss at this point matter??!!

Understood, but when it became obvious to everyone who doesn't wear red sox colored glasses that they weren't making the playoffs this year orlando should have pulled the trigger and shipped out jd and eo.....

Do you really think jd and eo are going to get QO's? The 2nd part is just cover for a failure to have a cohesive plan IMO......

Pretty simple, orlando should have traded them instead of letting them expire with no return.

theo's ideas carry a bit more weight than orlando's.......

I agree with all of this. Like I read around right after the trade deadline, his half sell/half buy strategy made him appear rudderless.

But he turned the corner and now is great, just ask moon.....
