  1. We’ll see about that!

    I have to admit, I liked how they rolled that R in Rice there, but Burgess Meredith growled the R in Rocky pretty well. Tough call.

  3. Tough call, I like both, but am leaning toward this . . . more democratic . . .

  4. If the Yankees can’t afford Werth after acquiring Cliff Lee and Carl Crawford I hope Werth lands a big deal with the Red Sox, where he can keep his Look.

    I was saying much the same last night. Werth would be a huge upgrade over J.D. Drew. But heaven help us all if the Yankees get Lee.

  6. From Jayson Stark’s ESPN column today, here’s Phils’ reliever Ryan Madson commenting on the unintended positive influence of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” into the park as he took his warm-up pitches:

    Madson came stomping out of the ‘pen to pitch the bottom of the eighth, as “Don’t Stop Believing” pumped through an electrified ballpark. Great Giants moments of 2010 played on the video board. Orange pom-poms were shaking halfway to San Jose. You could feel adrenaline shooting through every vein in the park. It’s just that, in this case, it wasn’t shooting through the veins of a guy in the right uniform.

    “Great song,” Madson gushed later. “That song pumped me up. When they started playing it, I got chills. It kept me loose. It took my mind off everything. I guess they probably won’t do that again now that you’re going to write it.”

    A plague on both their Journey-loving houses, then.

    I think maybe I can hate Madson a little more now, for awhile I thought he was just misspelling Virginia’s name.

    Also, the Yankees had every chance to get Cliff Lee and were somehow thwarted by Seattle for the sake of a lesser prospect, so who says the league is not competitively balanced?

    Let us all remember that Rocky lost – as a lesson to us all about fighting the system; you can’t really “win”, you can only regain your self-respect.

    I’d like to note that if the Phillies series goes to game seven, my Central High classmate made good as opera singer, Eric Owens, is slated to sing the national anthem. Hope it happens!

    Love it! I wrote a previous post about that song…

    And in reference to a previous post, Huey Lewis sang the national anthem for game 3 (I think it was).

  13. Speaking of Huey Lewis, there’s some auto parts (I believe) ad (Napa?) that uses a song that sounds very much like a “classic” Lewis song with a singer who sounds very much like Lewis on vocals. Did he actually do this jingle?
