SinceThe70s

I have no doubt the melon and cheese was a hit. Maybe even something I could enjoy. But I am far more intrigued by the 'summer martini'. Me and wifey have a stable of go-to drinks but always looking for the next best thing.

Never heard of this guy or the album until yesterday, but there was a lot to like including this:

Gonzo Alonso. The guy is a monster. Glad you got to see a small piece of Mets history in a hugely historic park. FWIW and appropo of nothing my father grew up a White Sox fan so give your boy a shout out from a Mets fan he'll never meet.

The only way we're ending with the Trammps "Disco Inferno" is over my dead body. And I am still alive and well thank you very much. Now the smiling portrait of you Is still hangin' on my frowning wall But It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me Too much at all It's just the ever falling dust That makes it so hard for me to see That forgotten earring layin' on the floor Facing coldly towards the door And I continue To burn the midnight lamp

First game at Wrigley, Cubs-Mets, and the Mets won. You my friend hit the Triple Crown! Outstanding! BTW - I think you saw Alonso tie the Met record for HR's by a rookie. So you have that going for you too. Which is nice.

I think he manages a local independent league team.

Kevin Baez

Eric Campbell.

Who did he play for besides the Mets?

Sid Fernandez? I have no clue.

Great post. He's probably forgotten more about baseball than you and I will ever know.

Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me Make me burn the candle right down But, baby, baby, don't need no jewels in my crown 'Cause all you women is low down gamblers Cheatin' like I don't know how Baby, got no flavor, fever in the funk house now This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin' Don't you know you know the duece is still wild Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me And call me the tumblin' dice

Billy is an end to end must listen. Haven't indulged in a while. Cool thing about this thread is I revisited the Wall...and now Billy (who had two caves for eyes and a cliff for a mouth that would go up and down...) is next.

Album sides. What's that? If it's album sides, I'd still stick with Zappa/Apostrophe side 1 as a fave but Zeppelin/Zoso side 1 is the GOAT.

There is a "Simple things that tend to confuse you..." thread over in Off the Wall that was started recently. This fits.

On August 6, 1960 in the top of the 8th with no outs and a runner on first Phil Regan walked Ted Williams. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET196008060.shtml At the time, Regan was a rookie and it was Williams last year in the league.

Sports radio is having some fun at Regan's expense today. The line that got me was "He pitched to Ted Williams!"

Comedy and baseball. Two of my favorite things. Helps that I'm a Mets fan.

Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner

How did the police report know that he wanted to take a shower? All they found in the back seat was Head and Shoulders.

Did they lock him up to a long term contract? EDIT: to his credit it looks like he hasn't aged all that much since 1970

Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing And the lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night There's a cast of thousands waiting As she turns out the light But it's too late, too late, too late (Too late) too late for love

I can't get past the age of the kids. Not that I'd excuse the parents if the kids were older, but the age of the kids makes it even more unfathomable to me.

Add this to the list. Parents of 7 year old's brawling on the baseball field. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2019/06/18/video-brawl-little-league-game-lakewood-colorado/

Folks say Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son Papa was a rolling stone (well, well, well, well) Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone
