Ahhhh Yacht Rock. Gerry Rafferty? Score. Bob Welch? Score the same. Dig deeper and you unearth gems like Steve Forbert . You can also stay on the surface and appreciate the depths of guys like Al Stewart. The Year of the Cat is freaking brilliant , yet so are On the Border and Flying Sorcery... Siri...

I'm not seeing a motive for making up this story yet. But then again, I'm also not seeing a whole lot of brainpower at work here. I think in order to perhaps uncover a motive for making up the story, one must get into the dynamics of the relationship between Ryan and his mommy? Or, maybe these guys...

Counterpoint: If this were the US and some other country's version of Lochte probably made up and armed robbery story, wouldn't we cheer pursuing him? Of course we would. I think Lochte is going to take a big hit when this is all said and done, particularly since his means to make $ off his swimmin...

Hey, I haven't been paying much attention to this shitshow lately but a lot of my conservative friends on FB are barking about this trail of dead people connected to the Clintons. Anything to that? Well, this conspiracy theory has continuously been pushed for 35 years, so it must be true. The first...

Stranger Things. So good. Eh. I mean, it's good if you like stories that slowly unfold, and the initial season ends in a fashion that lets it be OK if the show isn't renewed. But at the end of the day, while it's a fun trip down memory lane, the feel of it plays out more like a Stephen King adaptat...

Wow http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/08/06/national/politics-diplomacy/trump-rips-u-s-defense-japan-one-sided-expensive/#.V6VezJN97bR Trump must know why we don't allow Japan to have an army right? They technically have an army, navy and air force, but it's to be deployed only in self-defense.

He was well on his way to the HOF through the first half, and by math, into the 2nd half of his career. Then he got smacked upside the head by the injury bug in 2012, and each subsequent injury managed to derail him worse than the previous one. Back when we had a front page, I wrote an incredibly c...

Tex thinking that someone still cares enough to throw at him was the saddest moment of the season so far. He heard you Wonder if he wears a Yankee hat on his Hall of Very Good plaque.

I wanted to like it. Huge fan of Paul Feig, and Heat (Bullock and McCarthy version) and Bridesmaids were awesome scripts and movies. "Spy" (also with McCarthy) is very funny as well. Saw the new Star Trek last night. It was "meh"...felt like a filler episode. Something you'll fo...

I've been a huge fan of watching clips of her making a fool of herself, blatantly lying and making up facts, showing a complete lack of understanding basic concepts and complete ignorance of major issues.

I want to give Obama credit somehow for getting out in front of this by calling on the GOP to do the right thing.

Because by doing that, he's effectively hemming them into their commitment to Trump.

This is hilarious.

I used to be a big fan of capitalism. Basically a true believer. Despite reading Marx's critiques when I was young (college). But, after seeing all the shit of the last 10 years, and re-reading Marx, I've drastically changed my views. I still fully reject Marx's prescription, but damn if his diagno...

Can you expound on your thoughts re: News Media? Hey he asked. I promise, promise, I will be super brief. Two part answer. Part one. The major media, now with ownership concentrated in a small number of huge corporations, functions as nothing more than propaganda arms of those extremely powerful co...

The news media undertook a major shift when they started being owned by publicly traded corporations whose primary goal was to make money. Trump became a ratings magnet, so networks started booking him solely to boost their ratings so they could charge more for advertising rates. Sybian wrote upthr...

let me make a serious point, which is really important for our society to recognize (although I won't be holding my breath, they'll eventually get it.) Trump is going to get whopped in the general election there is no doubt. But how did he win the Republican primary? That's what gets me. That's a n...

Any time you can trade your top prospect for a guy who's going to give you 40 innings over the rest of the season. Well, you have to make that deal.

So...that Melania Trump speech, huh? I mean, it's only befitting that terms like hard work and integrity are part of the plagiarism of the current first lady's speech.

I'm kinda excited about some of the core coming up, but we'd look sooooooo much better even next year if we just punt this year and sell off the relievers and Beltran and even a SP or two if the return is Pomeranz high.

I see two actual options. A third option is to yell on Facebook about how everyone should stop being naive, and hope that that in itself stops the terrorists in their tracks. 1.

Of course the Red Sox didn't go into negotiations looking to deal Espinoza. But they were willing to do so. That is Dombrowski being Dombrowski. Just like his was willing to deal Margot ++ for Kimbrel. The thing that pains me is that the Yankees and Red Sox can't match up for a deal. Can't, because...

Isn't that all a good argument for why they should have traded Boegaarts and Betts as minor leaguers, too? I mean, in a sense you could extrapolate that out to dealing them, but I'm talking about applying the here and now against the future. When your system is stocked, you can reap the benefits in...

Dombrowski isn't afraid to deal from the top of the deck. However, I think they may made the right move. We have no idea if Anderson Cooper Espinoza is going to ever realize his potential. Hell, he could become the next Drew Pomeranz, instead. In fact, what we do know is that prospects far too often...
