Updated to 10-10 ...Spent the day at the hospital yesterday because my wife had shoulder surgery. This was the first time in our fourteen years of marriage that I was not the one being operated on when we had to go to the hospital. It felt funny in a way. I told her I would try to make it up to her. ...Little did I know I could have brought my laptop with me because the hospital has free WI FI. Then again it could have been a bad idea if I decided to play a quick game of MVP and I lost the game. ...I feel the same way about this website today then I did one week ago. This is the best place to be. ...I can't stand people who are at a ballgame and are only there to try to get on TV. You've seen them, when the camera is focusing on the hitter at the plate, the people behind him start standing up and waving at the camera. Yeah, that's what I would do if I sat in those expensive seats at Yankee Stadium. ...On the other hand, have any of you seen that good looking lady usher on the first base side of Yankee Stadium? You can see her when a left handed batter is up. She is tall and has long black hair. (Hey, I can look.) ...As a rule I dislike those GEICO commercials but I do have one exception. They made a good one when they had that Spanish soccer announcer do the play-by-play for a chess match and at the end of it he shouted out "GOAAAAALLLLL!!!" Cracks me up every time. ...Congratulations to Roy Halladay. Thate guy can do it all it seems. The Reds may have been overpowered in game one but they had themselves to blame in game two. ...Why did the Yankees beat Minnesota in the ALDS? Because of good pitching. Good pitching. That is how you win. It is amazing how good this team can be when they keep A.J. Burnett and Javier Vazquez away from the mound. They have a chance to go far if they keep those two losers off the mound and off the roster. ...People may say to me that last week they recalled me getting down on the Yankees and even predicting them not to win against Minnesota. I admit it. And I am so glad I was wrong. But the way they played the last two months of the season was just terrible and to top it off being forced to watch Burnett lose and lose big every fifth day was too much. ...I don't know what happened to Mlbmods and I don't want to assume anything because you never should, but all I know about that site right now is that their domain name expired. If the site isn't renewed I want to thank Kraw for all he did. He created a nice site that was easy to navigate around and was very user friendly. Thank you again.

Updated to 10-3 ...Ok, let me get this out of the way. About a month ago I picked the Cincinnati Reds to be the team to fall apart in September and not make the playoffs. I was, of course, wrong. But can you blame me? I mean it's the Cincinnati Reds for God's sake. They don't make the playoffs. They're like all of us in here. They watch the playoffs. ...And did you hear what some whistleblowers did to the Reds when they won the division? Seems as if the Reds players lit up a few victory cigars when the division was clinched and a few people called the state hotline to complain that the players were violating Ohio's smoking ban. This just goes to show that no matter where you are or what you do you will always come across people like this. ...I have no problem with Stan Musial. In fact I believe he is the greatest player in St. Louis Cardinal history. But the blatant push the Cardinals are doing to try to get him a Presidential Freedom medal is nonsense. This attempt to campaign and beg the President to give Musial a medal is wrong. If Musial gets a medal or is honored in any way it should be because the Cardinals didn't initiate it and force the other party to give in for public relations reasons. Jeers to the person or persons who thought of this because they are doing Musial no favors. ...ESPN is a network I usually have no use for but I got to admit their Sportscenter commercials are funny. ...Ok, is this the part where I am supposed to be all excited that the Yankees are in the post season again and I should be having visions of a 28th championship dancing in my head?? If so, I'll get right on it because I'll be honest with you. This team lacks the pitching. If they are seriously considering giving Burnett a start in the playoffs they are in serious trouble. ...Whoever plays the Yankees in the first round must be quietly cheering their luck. They'll be facing a team that can't get people out (with the exception of Sabathia) and a Yankee lineup that can get on base but can't knock anyone in. Oh yeah, I'm confident. ...Oh yeah, and just because the playoffs are starting that automatically means that Captain Double Play is going to start hitting again just like he used to? I believe that too. Come on, tell me some more. ...I don't know where to look this up but I guarantee that the Yankee pitchers lead the league or are very close to leading it in three ball counts and walks. Every time you turn around someone can't locate the plate. It's like they are scared to throw strikes sometimes. ...Jose Bautista has 54 home runs for Toronto this year but who wants to bet that next year he doesn't even hit 20? ...One of the most difficult jobs in the world must be being Lindsay Lohan's lawyer.

Just watch this one. You'll love it. Now watch this one. If I were a New York State trooper I'd be doing the same thing to anyone with Massachusetts plates.

The radio game for the month of October is a special one. It's from October 3rd, 1951 and it's the famous Bobby Thomson game that beat the Brooklyn Dodgers that year. Everyone is very familiar with this game and now for those of you who want it, you are going to have the entire game. This broadcast that you will be listening to is from the Liberty Broadcasting System and the announcer is Gordon McLendon. This is the broadcast that the entire country heard. I am sure that many times you have heard the Russ Hodges radio call of Thomson's home run, but Hodges' call was only broadcast on the New York Giants radio network. The only reason why this call exists today is because a Dodger fan was recording the ninth inning of this game because he was so sure his Bums were going to win and he wanted to taunt the Giant fans that he knew the next day with the last few minutes of the Dodger victory. When the Giants came back to win this game, the poor guy was so stunned that he never turned off his recorder and Hodges' call was saved for future generations. Listen to the opening remarks by Gordon McLendon here in this game. They are very prophetic. Enjoy this game. It's one of the best. Brooklyn Dodgers vs. New York Giants Retrosheet link.

Updated to 9-26 ...Random Thoughts is back after a one week hiatus because I was out of town last week down in the hellhole that my in-laws live at. No Internet access at their house. I was lucky they had cable TV. Things are so God damn ass backward there it isn't even funny. ...I didn't do a damn thing last Saturday except baby sit four dogs (three of them mine) and one pain in the ass second grader. My wife and her mother were only gone about five hours but spending time alone with that kid made it seem like five years. ...If you get the impression that I don't like little kids then let me confirm it for you. You're right. With kids that I have to deal with in real life and the winners I have to deal with in here I am glad I don't have one myself. ...I was going to come in here when I got home Sunday night and make my post but I came down with a stomach bug on Sunday morning where it did not allow me to keep anything down, whether I ate or drank, for two and one half days. I was hoping that someone would come in here and make some kind of contribution in here last week but that was too much to ask. Since Mark was sick the same time I was no one wanted to step up and help out because that meant they'd have to actually do something. ...Best wishes to Don Mattingly on becoming the new Manager of the Dodgers next year. Now with Joe Torre retiring he can release an update to his bullshit book that he wrote. ...I have been reading posts from other Yankee fans saying that the last time the Yankees went into the post season looking and playing this bad was during the 2000 season and things didn't turn out so bad that year. True, but the bullpen from that team can run circles around the slugs we have this year and in 2000 Derek Jeter was 26 years old compared to now, when he is playing like he is 41. ...Nice going CC Sabathia for winning twenty games for the first time in his career. And after he did that, he hasn't done anything since. ...It was an impressive ceremony for George Steinbrenner on Monday night at the Stadium. The Yankees know how to honor the great contributors to their team and have a great sense of team history. Not one team is close to them in this aspect. ...Apparently I can not even talk baseball to a Red Sox fan in the shoutbox about the Yankees even when I am the one putting down the Yankees instead of the Red Sox. No matter how I say something I am wrong. ...Javier Vazquez, one of the busts that the Yanks got during the off season hit three straight batters this week against the Rays. His comment about what he did? "I don't think it's that big of a deal." Gosh Javy, that's nice. You know, I feel a lot better now. ...Watched the new Hawaii Five-O last week and all I got to say is that I love it and I'm tuning it this week too. ...I've said this so many times but it never hurts to say it again. Thank you Dennis James. Just look at what he does. I can't rave about him enough. :hi:

Thank you for this. Now I just wish I could listen to the entire game of this. This was only 13 minutes and 3 seconds long and then that was that. At least I heard Jackson and Piniella homer against Chicago.

Sure, go ahead and sing if you want...but why stand on a table to do it? I've heard of people falling down stairs and escalators, but not up one. Here's proof.

You missed one Dylan, but it is quite understandable since this was many years before you were born. In the 1970 NFC divisional playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Detroit Lions 5 - 0 at the Cotton Bowl. You can read about it right here.

Yeah me too. I want to go back and edit my week one picks so I can go 16 - 0.

Next time you little son of a bitch you go to bed when I tell you!!

Look at DadofTwins!!!! Great job my friend. Now hurry up and go grab a parley for next week. :lol:

Updated to 9-12 ...Doing an early Random Thoughts this week because I am watching the Yankee game right now from Texas and there was a rain delay. Right now it is the top of the 7th, bases loaded with one out and Posada is up. I'm expecting the worst...................and I got it. Asshole Posada grounded into an inning ending double play. This guy can not get off this team fast enough. ....Well this week's edition of this thread started out wrong, didn't it? ...Hey, it's week one of the new NFL season. At least that is something to look forward too. And as a Raider fan I am cautiously optimistic this year and hoping for the best. At least Jamarcus Russell is long gone. As Mr. Rickey said years ago, that's addition by subtraction. ...Free preview for all DirectTV users of their NFL Sunday Ticket. I'll be using that all year long rooting on Oakland. ...I don't know who the God damn hell Kim Clijsters is but I like her because she eliminated one of the big mouth Williams sisters at the U.S. Open. Now I am waiting for Venus to complain that everyone had it in for her. ...I have been consciously trying to avoid drinks with sugar in them so I purchased some Vitamin Water Zero the other day because it had less than one gram of sugar in it. I don't think I have tasted anything so bad in my life. I do drink sugarless tea but sometimes I want to have a variety. So do yourself a favor and never buy this crap because they make it sound like it's a great drink to have but I swear they must have been drinking something else when they said it. ...What the hell happened to Joaquin Phoenix? This guy looks like he spent the last few years living up in the mountains of Tennessee. ...Watching AJ Burnett and Javier Vazquez pitch gives me the same feeling that I get when I nurse a toothache. ...God will get you department: This past off season I laughed when the Red Sox signed Marco Scutaro from Toronto to play shortstop. I laughed because the Yankees had Derek Jeter and you can't compare Scutaro to Captain Everything now can you? Fast forward to now. Let's compare some stats for Jeter and Scutaro, ok? Derek Jeter: .260 average, 10 HR and 60 RBI. .326 OBP and a .366 slugging percentage Marco Scutaro: .272 average, 10 HR and 52 RBI. .333 OBP and a .386 slugging percentage. Who's laughing now? Not me. In fact Jeter is getting worse by the day. But he will still get a nice new contract because of what he did ten years ago and not this year. Must be nice. ...Thanks but no thanks: Something I learned the other day and I thought was interesting enough to share in here. The state of Alaska will pay you to live there. You read that right. It seems as if those inbreds up there get an incentive to live up in the Great White Freeze. There is something called the Permanent Fund Dividend ( a huge investment of oil revenues in a variety of stocks and bonds.) And when October rolls around they pay their residents between one and two thousand dollars a year. Hell no. You live in below zero weather. And don't spend that check all in one place.

Someone must have hit a tennis ball into the stands and they were fighting for it.

Yeah, there is just something about them that doesn't seem right. The black and white ones are the best. I'm very envious that you got to meet Don Knotts! He's one of my all time favorite actors. I don't think anyone can portray being afraid of something like being in a haunted house or being afraid of ghosts as good as Knotts. And the scenes with Jim Nabors on that show were classic. Thanks for sharing.
