    Most overrated movies?

    I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone over the age of 12 has any interest in anything Star Wars. I saw the original when I was a kid, and sure it was fun for a 10 year old, but outgrew it pretty much right after that. As for really bad movies, I'll add anything with Brad Pitt...

    Any baseball historians on board?

    Cedar Rapids was an affiliate of the Cleveland Indians in 1938, and included for a time that season future Hall of Famer Lou Boudreau.

    Any baseball historians on board?

    One of my great disappointments in life was when I learned that they were the Nippon Ham “Fighters”, not the Nippon “Ham Fighters”.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    We weren't all riding around in helicopters, but many were. That was mostly the late 70s and first few years of the 80s. Things started to go south in about 1983, and by '86, with Reagan killing the US's energy indepenence efforts and the Saudis getting cheesed at the rest of OPEC, we were at...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    You mean like these cartoonish neon monstrosities? That's how normal people typically dressed in the 80s, yet there is this image that we all walked around in lime green leotards with purple hair. The 80s lags behind perhaps only the 50s as suffering the most wild revisionist history of...

    Yankee Stadium acquired its white and navy blue colors when it was owned by Rice University in Houston, who’se school colors are, you guessed it, navy blue and white.

Pacheco was known as the longtime physician and cornerman for Muhammad Ali, from 1960-1977, and also a ubiquitous boxing commentator and writer. In addition to his fame as a boxing personality, he was...

    Boots - Double H, Ariat, Luchesse, questions

    Just my experience in 45 years of wearing cowboy boots...I always wear a half size smaller in boots than in regular shoes. If the top of the arch is too tight to get my foot in, either have it stretched or find another pair. Getting them too big just to get my foot in is a recipe for hurt feet...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I don't want to be 20 again, I'd just like to be able to make a few throws down to 2B without it feeling like an alligator is biting on my elbow.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Doerr was also the oldest living baseball Hall of Famer (as well as the oldest to ever live). That now makes Red Schoendienst the oldest living at age 94. RIP Bobby.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    One of my favorite characters in Blazing Saddles: "Can't you see that's the last act of a desperate man?" "I don't care if it's the first act of Henry V..." RIP.

    The Gender Thread, vive la difference!

    My solution is I go outside any chance I get. Not only is it one of the perks of being a man, but it alleviates any issues with seats and aim. And I suspect if you ask women what issue irritates them more, it's the latter.

    The Gender Thread, vive la difference!

    I lower the toilet seat because my wife wants me to, and purposely not doing so only makes me an a-hole. I try not to be an a-hole.

    BATTER UP!

    You're certainly not the only one. I enjoy football and basketball, and I'll follow along (in fact have season tickets to the Texans), but yeah, there's a part missing during the Void. That's why my favorite season is the spring, when it all begins again.

    BATTER UP!

    Thanks. All *I* did was eat Frito pie and wear the same shirt every game. So happy for my favorite team and my city.

    108 days of what we like to call "the Void". But Day 1 is awfully sweet.

    BATTER UP!

    The Astros have this beauty in their stable: Sure wish they'd wear than one. As for 2017...it's a new series. Think this one comes down to the wire "Here come the Astros, breathing orange fire...Go Go Astros!

    This ALCS was a tremendous series. If you're a fan of pitching and glove work, this was your series.

    BATTER UP!

    Thank you Lizzie and FF. To be there live to see your team win the pennant is special. Non-baseball fans often say the game is too slow, but it's the pace of the game, and your emotions hanging on every pitch that makes it the greatest game in the world.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    My mother says all the time (in fact she said it to me this morning) "I'll let you tend to your rat killin'".
