SinceThe70s

I never understood why they named it period. Should've been named exclamation point.

Chalkdust Torture

Reggae got soul, got so much soul

She's got a ticket to ride But she don't care

Oak tree you're in my way

Brown Sugar

Damn, Better Of Dead.

That song by the band I don't know at the end of Real Genius

I totally missed the part about Cashman. If Cohen is going after high end baseball executives that's a great sign that he won't be overly meddlesome. A few years ago my Islanders got new ownership and they managed to hire a GM and coach both with Stanley Cup pedigree. The team has been far more competitive the past two years. You rarely hear from the owners. Negative me thinks Alderson was 'signed' just to help get approval for the sale. I thought he was a great GM whose time with the Mets had run its course. Maybe it'll be different with the Wilpons gone.

On vacation in Valdez, Alaska and Jasper, Alberta. Both times from a safe distance whilst we watched knuckleheads who were at an unsafe distance. Jasper was just a single bear crossing the road, Valdez was multiple bears, including a mother and cubs chowing down on salmon. Good times.

I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war

Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone

Is this a Navy thing? I visited a frat bro who was Navy a few years after graduation and he had window shades fashioned from beer cans and fishing line. Also Florida. But he was originally from Jersey.

What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke Go on, untap your mind Quit knocking on mine

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

Stone free do what I please Stone free to ride the breeze Stone free I can't stay I got to got to got to get away

Anyone watching the Mets bow out? Gary just pointed out that the Rays pitcher has the same wind up as Sid Finch. They just posted a pic of Sid and a freeze frame of the Ray and it's, well, amazing. Here's the Sid pic And a clip of the Rays pitcher

Chip away Chip away at the stone I won't stop until your love is my very own Chip away That's what I'm gonna do Sweet little mama I wanna get next to you

To workers I'm just another droneTo Ma Bell I'm just another phoneI'm just another statistic on a sheet To teachers I'm just another childTo IRS I'm another fileI'm just another consensus on the street

I'm a big fan of covers (not cover bands) when they are done well. Was never a big fan of Iris, but that was pretty good. Here's a great one I hadn't heard of before this thread that was posted by @Kelly the Dog And because nobody asked, here's another I like that (hopefully) I haven't posted already:

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich

Hopefully by now all of this is water under the bridge and the sale goes through, but I'll call the sale a done deal when it's actually a done deal: https://reflectionsonbaseball.com/steve-cohen-all-that-money-and-still-he-cant-buy-mlb-owners-love/ Cohen’s business legacy is littered with questionable tactics, one of which was reviewed by the Feds for two years. They found smoke, but not the fire, and Cohen escaped with a damaged reputation and some hefty fines. It’s that reputation that’s followed and haunted Steve Cohen. In 2011, Cohen launched his first attempt to by an MLB team. As with the Mets, his money talked to make him the highest bidder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alas, Cohen could not convince the required seventy-five percent of his would-be peers to ratify the purchase.
