Robert James and Bob Chandler. With James at CB, it was one on one and the guy he covered never seemed open. On top of that he could out tackle Winfield. Really, how many people do you know of that went from Defensive End in college to CB in the Pro's. Chandler was just a joy to watch. If the Bills could have won during his career, he would have at least as good a rep as Bilitnikov (SP?).

How does a Donkey hit the ball? I can't imagine. But thanks for getting my curiosity up. I did a search on Eddie Feigner, aka The King and his Court. This appears to be his farwell tour year. He's 80!!! He must be another Jack Lalane. Anyway, I see him booked for Geneva,NY which is within driving distance, so I may take a shot at seeing him again. The Last I saw him it was about 1988. He had slowed down quite a bit from the time I saw him in 73, so I can't see how he can still be effective but the guy used to pitch from 1 to 3 games a day all summer, so maybe he can still "Bring it" for a couple of innngs.

That means TD is doing his job.

Since I pitched fast pitch for 15 years, I know a little about the subject. About the only pitch I couldn't throw was a spitter. Although I tried. A knuckle ball is actually easy to throw underhand, although it is better for show than for practicallity. Just like in the majors it doesn't always move and there are hitters who immediatley know it is going slow when it doesn't spin. A ball spinning down works much better. Btw, a bigger ball breaks more. Bigger pressure difference. Although the closer distance means it has less time to move. Major leagures are at a disadvantage when they first face a softball pitcher. They are used to the ball coming down from a high angle, overhand plus mound. Obviously in fastpitch the ball starts about a foot or two off the ground. That low start makes the rise ball rather difficult to judge. Two antedotes. The best presence of mind play I ever saw was by the third baseman of Canadien girls team. A player on the opposing team layed down a perfect bunt. The 3B'r ran in a saw it was obvious she wasn't going to throw the girl out and that the ball was going to be in fair territory. She moved down theline two feet, stuck the toe of her shoe in the ground and twisted making a small trench for the ball to follow into foul territory, which it did. What I can't do justice to in this is the quickness of her decision in doing this. Perhaps the greatest fastpitch pitcher ever lived in Rochester and pitched for Kodak Park. His name was Shifty Gears. There have been a lot of great pitchers in the country, but what separates Shifty from the others is he could throw equally well with either hand! I understand he would put the ball and both hands behind his back and then come out firing. It is a shame I never got to see the guy.

Hey, a guy I know had a monster combine also. What did Flowers do with his? The guy I know used it on his wheat fields.

I had pneumonia 15 years ago. Took some heavy doses of Ampicillin(sp?) to get me on the road to recovery. It seemed to help when I took a trip to Europe and had to sleep on the plane. I think sitting up helped. It certainly was tough waking up every morning with all that shifting in your lungs. For at least three weeks after I would have said I was ok, I was still coughing up crap. Odd thing is, every time I got a cold since then, it always ends with my lungs getting terribly congested. Anyone else that has had pneumonia have that same problem?

Peter Trapp I would have thought they are no longer feasable. Too many good deals on the Net. I wouldn't be too suprized if it was from a lack on interest from dealers. I've been to many a show in Syracuse and they used to be quite good. Last one I was at was Spring 2004 and it was less than half of what they used to be.

Get used to it, from now on time will be very limited. We have twins and it is really an experience watching them grow up. One of the best parts was watching them alternate on who does what first. Sometimes it was like one of them was waiting for the other to catch up and then go past. Make sure you have a good digital camera.

It was written by Peter Green who was with Fleetwood Mac. Before Buckingham and Nicks, Fleetwood Mac was a blues band. Black Magic Woman was from their English Rose album. If you like blues, I would suggest that album or Then Played On. Then Played On rates in my top ten albums. Green is recognized as one of the all time great guitarists, however he is rather obscure to the mainstream. I like the original but have to admit that Santana added a lot to the song with his interpretation. They are about equal for me, as I enjoy listening to both of them.

Just curioius, do you know that Black Magic Woman was also a remake?

When everyone else is into Poker, your into Dice?

If you don't like the list, find another one. Here is the list from AFI, which was discussed here sometime in the last 3 years. It seems a little better quality wise. AFI all time list

Orbacker's is a little less of a shack now that they added on. They are also open year round now.

Beamon's jump is the first thing that came to mind. For one off events, that was the most perfect performance.

What is a great season or what do think Rosenhaus' definition is?

Am I to assume that cats do not like drunks?

History of Carlings which runs through several other brewers. Follow the link to a very good read. In the mid 60's Black Label was one of the most popular beers in WNY.

So, does beer in a can never get skunked? I use to love Molson Export Ale in the 70's, now it aways seems skunky to me.

That's a great list. I always thought the "Think I'm in Love" fit the music in a way that not many video's have. One unmentioned video but rather rare is the Godley and Creme video "Cry." It's the one that inspired Michael Jackson for the morphing video he made, which at the moment I can't recall the name of. But since it was done totally with video editing before morphing was discovered its rather unique. I didn't find out Godley and Creme were from 10cc till just a few years ago. The video made sense after that considering G&C's odd sense of humor, i.e. Rubber Bullets.

I never realized that Genny Cream had medicinal value!

That was pretty easy. Heaven is... when the French are the cooks, the Italians are the lovers, the British are the police, the Germans are the mechanics and the Swiss run the hotels. Hell is... when the British are the cooks, the Swiss are the lovers, the Italians are the mechanics, the French run the hotels and the Germans are the police.

For some reason your two replies brought an old joke to mind but I can't remember the details. Something like what heaven and hell would be like with different nationalities. If I remember correctly in heaven the cooks are from France and in hell they are either from Germany or England. Wish I could remember the complete joke. I guess I may have to google a bit.

There is a Pizza Junction in North Tonawanda on Erie. I never had wings or subs from them but a normal cheese pizza will bind you up for about 3 days. Never order double cheese.

Does that make the Rhythm method twice as good as condoms and 4 times better than the "pill".

Probably make us wait the entire show. 603EST now.
