I can imagine. I'm 51 and spent many years listening to Ernie Harwell. Dan Dickerson is a great p-b-p guy (which helps him escape the banal gravity of color man Jim "I played for the '68 Tigers!" Price), but he's no Ernie.

Whoa, slow down. Buckner's Boner didn't happen in a vaccum. McNamara pulled Clemens for a pinch hitter in the top of the 8th. Calvin Schiraldi, the Sox closer, was brought in an inning early, and gave up the tying run. Schiraldi returned for the 9th, which was scoreless on both ends. The Sox scored two in the top of…

Holy fuck…You didn't graduate from elementary school, did you?

Points off for borrowed panache. More points off for not borrowing Goodfellas cinematography- there are no "Copa" scenes.

Nope. Tht decade started at 00:00:00 of Jan.1st, 1991 CE. It ended after ten years were completed, after 24:59:59, Dec. 31, 2000 CE.

So you're talking about "bullshit".

What, the word "platitude" isn't good enough for you?

My last blood draw showed that my white blood ceels were at low but acceptable levels, but my midi-chlorian count was pretty good. PRETTY, PRETTY GOOD!

And Star Wars was right in my wheelhouse in that summer of '77, between 6th and 7th grades for me. It was that last innocent summer, between early childhood and the disappointment of middle and high school. The original trilogy and its sequels, asnd most of the other ventures (yes, excluding those fucking prequels) as…

All I can give you is my word, the name of my cancer- intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma- and the three different protocols of chemo that I've been on for the last year (with #4 beginning on September 7, because United Health Care thinks that the FOLFURY protocol is "experimental" when the University of Michigan views it…

I'm not trying to be morbid right now- I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life- but last year I was diagnosed with a rare, terminal cancer (EXTREMELY similar to what got Steve Jobs), and I KNOW I won't see the end of it, so I'm glad they're beginning to pop 'em out so quickly now.

Moynihan?

I've got a special thing for the Mine Ride coaster. Don't know it it's still there, but I always found it a refreshing cool down on a busy, hot day.

I do, I do, I do say that I believe the name is pernounced Kinny Chizney.

Yeah, but The Anabasis is fun to read because it's eyewitness history. Xenophon was there for all of it, unlike Herodoyus. who wasn't alive when Marathon occurred and was only 3 or 4-years old at the time of Thermopylae. Herodotus used 2nd and 3rd hand sources where Xenophon used first hand sources, including himself.

Isn't it just like Sol Fuckin' Yurick to hog all the credit from Xenophon? What a bastard!

"We may get to that point, just look at how relatively well we did in the Copa, but right now US Men's fans should realize that getting to the knockout stage is pretty good."

No, it's the Spanish pronunciation, and no, Salt Lake's mteam was not granted a charter by the King of Spain.

I'm an avid fan and former player
(highschool, and I wasn't that good), and I lean towards "Footie" when discussing the Association game.

As opposed to "Canadian football" and "Aussie football".
