Tiny Bradshaw...

can lay it down.....Train Kept a-rolling is a good one but nothing beats..Breakin up the House...that one is a find.

I was Born...

just a few years too late to attend this performance...course I'd probably be living on the street now but still.......

Maybe this one I remember too..

I'd like to point out..

that I had this way, way, way before anyone else did...I just did.



PS...I believe I had it in b/w orignally...

Dedicated to...

all the Red Sox fans out there and all their masculinity....yeah huh?

Et Tu Sanchez?..

Yep...they say you never hear the bullet..this one's gotta hurt. Ouch!

Of course the worst is yet to come because eventually even Petraeus will be forced to admit the obvious.

Tuna Blogging...Papa John Edition..

Remember how good Papa John Creech was with Hot Tuna? Man....way, better than good. Many concerts I saw that he was a part of were some of the most memorable live Tuna. He had a few solo studio efforts that I am searching for...Brand New Day was the single on one album.....also had a instrumental Over the Rainbow that is findable on line....I need the Brand New Day though...

anyway, here's Come Back Baby....

Baseball Blogging...

All of a sudden I become an Indians fan....and then they pull the Charlie Brown on me...WTF?

Baseball Blogging...DOH! Edition.

As promised...here were my pre-playoff predictions. Man, am I an idiot.

Yanks in 4....Sox in 5....Cubs in 5...Phils in 4...Yanks in 7....Phils in 6...Yanks in 6...

Take it Outside...

Godboy...(head nod to the Simpsons)

Paul Byrd the Cleveland pitcher for tonight's game apparently has definite views on the MLB lifestyle....

Paul Byrd is writing what he calls a "spiritual journal" that he is going to have published in book form and hopes to have on the market by spring training. It's called "The Free Byrd Project," a candid and graphic look at how he has managed to remain true to his faith despite the pitfalls associated with a ballplayer's daily lifestyle.

"It's not politically correct. It's not for a 10-year-old. It's not a bubble gum-feel good book. It's only for a certain audience," Byrd said. "It's more of a personal account of things I've struggled with conversations I've had with Atheist ballplayers, coming clean with some issues I've had, like struggling with pornography on road trips when you're missing your wife all those things you encounter because of this lifestyle. So it's not a book that shows me as having it all together. But it's not going to point fingers or sell anybody out. If anything, it's going to just be me selling myself out a little bit with some of my struggles."

He's gonna be tough to beat if God is on his team.

I had a hard time beleiving that 4 teams could be swept in the division series and having the Yankees play last shored me up pretty well. Nice to see the Big Mo tilting back to an even keel for tonight's match up of Byrd and Wang. The Yankees have hit Byrd well in the past so hopefully the past will repeat itself and send everyone to Cleveland for game 5. But 1st things 1st and all that stuff...

While we're at it.....

Let's throw this boy in the pond....

This is Nice...

Rough Cut..

like it must have been back in '67...

You Gotta be Kidding Me...

McCain making Henny Youngman references? 90% of the population...not voting population...90% of people with a verifiable pulse don't know or care who the fuck Henny Youngman is. Give me a break please...speeches to the Rotary Club will not likely make him a future president.

He should start to think about his reputation and how he might ever muster a recovery to that lost virtue. Pitiful.


(I know the McCain campaign doesn't have much money but apparently they had enough to get the reporter for the Times laid to write the love story)

Phillies and Cubs..

are out....both swept. So then there are 6 left....

No way 4 teams are swept out of division series...no way.

Torture R Us...or ..Is Us Not....

Can you imagine if the enemy captured dear leader and decided to torture him to gain operational knowledge and secrets of our nefarious intentions?

I'm guessing that after intense application of (our standards of) non-torturous methods...the finding would be a furious head scratching debate over whether they were up against the most clever and incredibly strong willed individual ever imagined...or...just some idiot with such obvious limited ability that it can't be possible we are worried about these dickheads...

doh!

Kinda Backwards if you ask me..

to have these people more than marginally involved in national politics. What is there...a couple thousand population between the 2 of them?....who gives a shit what they think?

The screenshot above is from the Iowa State website Homeland Security Page....I think they may be kidding themselves into a little more self importance than actually justified.

Baseball Blogging....Playoff Editions..

Start now.

I've recorded my picks on the post-season match-ups but am reluctant to post for fear of jinxing most of my picks. I have a dated draft so I will post after the WS and we'll see how I did.

The start times on the 1st round are a challenge for any working person. Good thing that apparentlly bloggers sit around in apartments in their pj's and don't have to worry about it. I guess I should be fine then.

Funky Chalk Drawing...blogging?
