...........Every batted ball sounds so loud, from foul tips to well struck hits...whatever the heck they're doing it's so fake sounding or over enhanced as to be really annoying. One thing Fox gets right is on-field sound. I can't wait for the time when sports broadcasts are available without comme...

A true jazz maestro! That's how I cook Jimmy. I still remember asking my mom "what's for dinner?" and she would reply "an experiment". Mom could cook.

Jimmy just publish the recipe book already.

When I saw there were 4 games today I nearly came down with a bad cold.

I learned to drive in the car that brought me to Alaska from Florida, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with an automatic transmission. I learned to drive a manual transmission when I bought my first car, a 1961 Hillman Minx with a 4-speed on-the-column shifter. There was so much linkage that it was rubbery...

Great pitchers duel in Oakland yesterday.

The Moneyball style almost bit the A's when Reddick popped out on a bunt attempt with none out and 2 on in the 5th.

Both car and bike.

Used to drive a three on the tree Ford on the farm.

I love this time of year.

Terrific performance by David Price and the Rays last night to make the playoffs.

Entirely satisfying finale. The writers of Dexter can only look and weep. It is really fucking hard to end a series well. Especially one like this. The anticipation was through the roof and it still managed to be satisfying. Agreed. Yet the writers seemed to make the most logical choices for each c...

The butler did it.

Entirely satisfying finale.

I didn't know where else to post some great news I have and since my new circumstances will allow me to travel more often I figured this thread would be an appropriate place. After working for thirty years for a huge corporation I was offered a buyout package that will enable me to receive my norma...

Even when teams are eliminated it's still a joy to watch.

Yankees almost make playoffs.


Hehehehehehehehe......

Never heard of it. Thanks for the tip.

Another they play on TSN up here is Catching Hell, mainly about scapegoating, Bill Buckner and that guy from the Cub's game who cursed them for another 100 years. Bartman?

If this is just a Met commiseration thread I'm terribly sorry for posting non Met info. Manny Machado went down hard at first today in St. Petes. I'm still watching my lowly Jays get beat every day. I'm pulling for Oakland with their shit filled stadium and consistent playoff appearances. Feel free...

Welcome to Canada. Health care on demand.

Less snow than you imagine.

Yeah, but Alan, he got pretty bad towards the end. Do you not agree? His last few specials were mostly just an angry old man ranting. Hey, I love my boy. But even I cringed quite a bit watching his last few. There were moments, but they were few and far between. I really think he peaked in the 80's...

I've got his 'All My Stuff' dvd set from his HBO specials.

It's amazing to see him get better with age.

Fuckin' Saint.

Oh we're not judging. We just hate 'em.

The gloss is off.
