Gladys Knight & The Pips – Midnight Train To Georgia

i like playing songs of places i'll be. see y'all in hot 'lanta.

1976

two quick anecdotes:
1. i got into this song, and GK&TPs by extension, because an 18 year old joe overheard a beeyoutiful stripper say she preferred dancing to songs like "midnight train to georgia" over other, more popular crap. i had to hear what she was talking about (oh, sasha...).
2. like in rob gordon's top 5 dream job list in high fidelity (the movie; i don't remember the specific quote in the book) about wanting to be a musician like a memphis horn, but not needing to be jagger or hendrix: i always kind of wanted to be a pip. the matching suits and subdued, choreographed dance moves were a big part of that.

2011 MLB Playoff Brackets

i was daydreaming and had a fun idea: MLB playoff brackets, anyone?

how about this: predict the winner of each series, and win the points. double points if you correctly guess the amount of wins for both winning and losing team.

ALDS/NLDS 1 pt. (best of 5)
ALCS/NLCS 3 pts.
world series 5 pts.

ALDS
DET v. NYY (1)
TB v. TEX (2)

NLDS
STL v. PHI (1)
ARI v. MIL (2)

whoever has the most points wins. pretty simple, huh?

if anyone has any suggestions to tweek the rules, let me know. otherwise, post your guesses below. i'll compile them on a spreadsheet and make it available to everyone.

copy and paste the below part:

ALDS(1):
ALDS(2):
NLDS(1):
NLDS(2):
ALCS:
NLCS:
World Series:
