    1. "Our" 1924 squad is featured, too!

      I didn't realize the 1985 Royals were such a low-scoring championship team. I know Balboni did nothing but mash, but between he and Brett and some on-base dudes at the top, I would have figured them for league average scorers or better.

    2. I almost said this graph is wrong because the 85 Cardinals led their league in scoring, but then my brain turned on

  1. I mentioned this years ago at the old site, but Michael Young's mother was the secretary for my pal's office in the Azusa, CA school district. For that reason alone he didn't chase her around his desk.

  2. The Milkmaid came home and surprised me with Inversion, which is tough as hell to find here. Everything's coming up spookhouse! Our love was strong, but this seals it.

            1. BTW bummer on the print - was it due to my over packing? The bonus was a piece requested by the shop in Ireland for an international exchange, you got one of three in the states (whatever that's worth)

              1. I love "Join". Great composition. You should do that one in a larger scale. (Perhaps as a painting?)

                Yeah, it is a bummer about the tear. I take full responsibility, but you were probably a little too enthusiastic with the tape. Especially the blue stuff.

                  1. good to hear - boo on the blue stuff (i bought it because it should release easy... )

                    Join is the study for the first series I'm planning in Ireland. 13 prints based on the join or die flag, all fairly large scale, and packaged as a unit.

  3. I was made aware that they are the only three brothers to win WS rings. One for Neck Tat, and two apiece for his bros.

    1. Wow, I didn't even hear that said (though I can easily figure out when these events happened). Well, good for them. Nobody gets made fun of at Thanksgiving dinner.

    1. alas, i didn't hear it well. i was too busy caterwauling along to keep Pete amused and quiet until mom could come along and offer him what he was really looking for.

  4. I normally tune-out/mute GBA, but this one slipped through. Glad it did. The young man had a clear, soulful voice with nary a whiff of artifice.

  5. Sure, it's the first World Series for Rhodes, but he's pitched in four LCS series and five LDS series before this year. It's not like this is his first postseason appearance.

  6. Good news, the Wildhorse has Yazoo products. IPA on tap, others by bottle. I'm on my second Dos Perros. Also had a couple Landshark lagers. Good stuff.

  7. Okay, the guy hits himself with a batted ball in such a way that he jumps around in the batter's box in pain, yet the umps rule it a fair ball. I think we need more than replay.
