Any love for pre-80's Aerosmith? IMO, they were bad-@ss in the 70's and then tapered off in the early/mid 80's.

Who's on your Mt. Rushmore of Physical Comedy?

Three Stooges defines the list for me. The Looney Toons folks deserve a mention: Bugs, Daffy, Wile E Coyote, Elmer Fudd,... Afaik, Chevy Chase's career started with SNL pratfalls. And Kramer (Michael Richards) is worth mentioning too. -
...or they have a rep for being repetitively/incessantly negative about the Bills on a Bills fan site. Not saying that's the case here, but I'm fine with bringing the hate in that situation. On the other hand, the main reason I come here is to hear from folks that think differently then me.

2024 New York Yankees..........on to the World Series for 41st time

Not sure when you posted this but Boone eventually pulled him from the game. Pretty sure Boone has been Gleyber's manager his entire career. If Gleyber is as lazy/undisciplined as I read - it's an incredibly bad look for Boone as a manager. Disclosure: I'm a Mets fan, I try to avoid biased posts but I'm human. -
A reminder why you should mind your own damn business

A few years ago they put speed cameras in school zones in our neighboring county. It was a big money-maker but the program was short-lived once the county officials realized they had no shot at getting re-elected unless they cancelled the program. -
Is it me or is the trade deadline becoming less and less relevant as the years go by? A few factors imo: expanded playoff field results in less teams that give up on their season. Long term constracts lessen the pool of high-end players in their walk year.

Glad you both had a great time! The Sunday game was epic, you sold it a little short - Lindor's go ahead 2 RBI came with two outs and the bases loaded. Good times. Meanwhile I just got back from vacay and for the second straight year the Mets had a winning streak while I was away. We had the good fortune of watching the better part of both Yankee games and Laureano's debacle for the Braves. Things were looking great on Friday until Senga went down. Why can't we have nice things? Interested to see what moves we make tomorrow. Winker is a nice upgrade over Stewart who unfortunatly turned into Vogelbach v2.0.

I'm amazed on two levels: that he remained in the game is one - that he is still in the big leagues AND on a contending team is even more amazing. As a Met he was beyond useless, my lasting memory is McCann as a batter grabbing his crotch between most pitches. -

A number of years ago we took a New England cruise that included a stop in Halifax. We did an excursion from Halifax to Peggy's Cove and I thought the landscape was stunning and unique. I've also driven the Maine coast north to south starting from Calais Maine and that was also amazing. On the other hand the drive from south to north through the middle of Maine to get to Calais was mostly boring.

I watched the Bob Newhart show growing up and remember Mr. Carlin being a favorite character. Then in college I heard about the 'Hi Bob' drinking game. I've heard countless variations since. Our hockey variation was 'bowls for goals'. We joked about 'shots for shots' but that was a non-starter. Fast forward to having kids and Bob showed up in Elf and then the boys got older and he showed up in Big Bang Theory. Last year they were telling me about Super Bpwl drinking games centered around camera shots of Taylor Swift and I explained that from my perspective it all started with 'Hi Bob'. Good times.

I have a future as a National Anthem singer after that

On the other hand, hearing her explanation reminded of some awful karaoke singers that I've encountered so it made sense. Whatever the case may be I feel bad for her. It was epically bad, hope she gets a chance to redeem herself. -

Surprised there are no comments from our resident Crankee fans following a big win that ended with a beaning. Like Scooter Rizzuto I have to mark this down on the score card as WW - wasn't watching. Interested to hear whether Cranks or O's fans think there was intent behind the pitch. -

Yeah that's what I was driving at...of late the Mets have been pretty good, while the Yanks have been pretty bad, but water seeks it's level and my sense is that in the end this Mets team will continue to hover around .500 (which may be good enough to contend for a WC) and the Yanks will break out of their funk and ease into a WC spot. -
As an out of market Bills fan, the Raiders have always been my second team. Appreciate the call out for Lester Hayes, he was a fave. Was at a concert a month ago and a guy was wearing a Hayes jersey. On the other hand, I hated Romanowski, even as a Raider. D-bag. Some other players that I loved watching: Earl Campbell, Bo Jackson, Hines Ward, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, Charlie Garner (as a Raider). Kellen Winslow deserves a mention for a great career and arguably the greatest game ever by a TE. And I'd rank Lawrence Taylor as the greatest defensive player I ever watched - but I wouldn't call him a favorite.

Bolded is a fair question but unbolded an unfair comparison. Yanks are sitting at .591 +3.5 for the first AL WC spot, Mets are at .500 -1.5 from the last NL WC spot. I'm a Mets fan and what I see is a .500 team playing in a league where that currently keeps them in contention - the same record puts them 5 games out of the last WC spot in the AL. Yanks will make the playoffs (a -effin-gain...no mean feat) but aren't the juggernaut they were a month ago. I'll look forward to seeing how things play out the next month. Between hot/cold players, trades, call-ups and injuries it's likely to change for both teams. For the record I'm not overly optimistic about the Mutts. I think the Cranks will improve but not look like WS contenders. Time will tell. -
Yesterday morning I went Out for a cup of coffee I shaved and Then I combed my hair A man who don't know me Said something to my back I stopped to turn around and face it That is why I pack my .25 Where nobody knows Right above my boot

Soaking up the sunshine, sittin' on the 405 (Sure feels right) I can take my time just to do what I like Because it sure feels right (Sure feels right) Just singing to the radio ----- For those that follow the Share some music thread this is another of my go-to chill songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vPy795FlRM), it's so saccharine even wifey likes it in spite of the Sex Pistols reference. Good times.
