The captions said it was Burl Ives.

It sounded more like Burl Ives to me.

I think it’s actually Burl Ives’ recording from 1945, not Pete Seeger’s from 1957 (or the Tom Waits version from Ironweed or the original Harry McClintock version used in O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

...grandpa? But...you’re dead!

> It was also a nice touch that the hosts that Delores went to recruit were lined up at their table reminiscent of the Last Supper before their leader was killed and then resurrected by her.

I agree that the city shown was somewhere on mainland China, based on Arnold’s comment that he was building his new home there so his family could be closer to his work in the park.

That’s kind of what I though while reading this article. Maybe I’ll just watch how the show handles it before drawing any conclusions.

How about I just wait to watch the rest of the episodes until the end of the season, and someone tells me the appropriate amount of shame I should feel while viewing this week’s pop culture hot topic? Would that satisfy everyone?

Why is it that the best Bears’ fans can hope for is a coach that can run a competent defense and a constipated offense? Fox reminds me of Lovie.

John Fox has been a head coach for twenty years yet every week the Bears look like 53 guys who just met in the parking lot a half hour before the game.

Don’t confuse longevity with capability. Dusty seems to be a good enough guy, and he can get you a division title, but what has he ever won in October, when it matters?

The Nationals are stacked. My managerial experience stopped at coaching my son’s sixth grade tournament team and I could coach the Nats to 95 wins.

He sucked with the Reds too!

It was all Alex Gonzalez’s fault. He booted the inning killing double play right after the Bartman play. Somehow Alex Gonzalez always seems to get a free pass.

Without a trophy, meaningless. And the fact that he allowed a complete meltdown after the Bartman incident is just more evidence of his suckiness.

He’s a great person, but I was hoping they’d let him go. He’ll have time to find another job before next season and he’ll do well.

Phillies fans still think Francona is a shitty manager.

This is all fine and we’ll, but let’s keep in mind we are talking about Dusty Baker here. The latest in the Nationals attempt to hire every manager in history that can’t win with loads of talent. (Remember Davy Johnson? That guy had the mid 80's Mets and only won one World Series. How guys who can’t win with the most…

Counter-take: Dusty has lost 10 straight elimination games in the postseason. While the Nats were good and stable with him at the helm, this team’s stated goal is to win a title, and there’s realistically only one year left to do that. (Maybe 2 if you’re being optimistic). Dusty was not going to win in the playoffs,…

Look, he was clogging up the coachpaths
