Knowles is Edward's son. It's play on "Who's your daddy?" (Pedro Martinez, if you're out there somewhere reading this, the answer is still the Yankees.)
Same--I was in a bar in NYC, shooting pool and trying to watch the Knicks. Man, was I pissed when they focused on the Bronco chase instead on the game.
Pretend it's Mostly Mozart and bring a blanket, a bottle of Pinot, an assortment of the finest cheeses and crackers, maybe some take-out pheasant under glass from your favorite pheasant under glass spot. They'd probably get a better crowd for Mostly Mozart in Evanston.
Every little town, all over America, had a baseball team. Factories and businesses all had teams. Barnstorming Negro League teams played most of their games against town teams--the old Negro Leaguers played a lot of games.
Here's the theme for F Troop--with the lyrics. I don't remember it having lyrics! So much exposition here, though at least one stanza doesn't age well at all.
The Munsters theme song -- the awesome surf guitar doesn't fit the theme of the show which is mostly just about ripping off The Addams Family. Whatever. It's a classic.
I also agree the Barney Miller is in this conversation. Great song! I also didn't remember that they apparently recorded a different version every season.
God, I used to love that show when I was a little kid. Why? What was it even about? I don't remember anything else about it other than that I loved it.
Great show! I too loved the idea of living in an RV on the beach...though I did, uh, outgrow that desire. I'm also a way bigger fan of Columbo because it's the best. The Best!
It's a lot more common than in pro ball--I think most D-1 teams have at least one. Florida has a kid, Jac Caglianone, who pitches and hits and had some buzz about his pro potential for doing both, but he's been shaky on the mound this season and will probably stick to playing first base as a pro.
Here's a list of top draft eligible two-way players:
"In college baseball, however, two-way players are relatively common and, in an era where teams are limited to 27 scholarship players, some programs see them as a market inefficiency. College baseball is, of course, vastly different from the big leagues, but it is also the highest level of the sport that still regularly uses two-way players."
Well. So many ugly views expressed here. And MGoBlog is not really the place for this discussion, is it? Ill-informed, half-baked, hot takes are fine when we're talking sports but maybe not when assessing a bloody conflict that's costing tens of thousands of lives.
The only thing to be done with this thread is to nuke it from orbit. Just to be safe.
I'd need to hear at least one Purdue person say, "I rooted for Michigan in the National Championship." Fans of other B1G schools routinely root against us--all of them. So fuck them. Michigan vs. Everybody.

One enchanted evening?
I read this and imagined that you'll be partying with Sammy Sosa, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Tell me this is true...
This also really happened...
Crime?

We're gonna hit that shit!
GO BLUE!
The school I have a masters from versus the school I dropped out of halfway through my junior year.
Go Pucksters!

You can have Dinkytown. I'm heading over to Funkytown.
Not if you're a soft-batch cookie though. Then all you've got is a big soft cookie.
I'm here for you.
I see you, Conor Stalions. Another success story for the Vast Network.
I own all the episodes of Columbo on DVD. It's perfect marathoning. I also love the original Mission Impossible TV show.

I am getting so into this. Here's maybe my second favorite--the theme song to the '60s TV show Batman.
God, I used to love that show when I was a little kid. Why? What was it even about? I don't remember anything else about it other than that I loved it.
Here's the Mission Impossible theme being played by a full orchestra. Again, nothing tops that.
You're all so very wrong. The greatest theme song is for Mission Impossible--the show, not those dumb Tom Cruise films. You're welcome.
I downvoted you. I just wanted you to know that.
Yeah, he's the TV version of Jake Gittes from Chinatown who also constantly got his ass kicked.
Great show! I too loved the idea of living in an RV on the beach...though I did, uh, outgrow that desire. I'm also a way bigger fan of Columbo because it's the best. The Best!
Boom! Ouch, XM! I just upvoted you.
Late-stage capitalism.
This. Bama was fucking loaded, and no one should overlook Michigan's accomplishment of beating them.
Seriously. Bama took us to overtime and OSU did not, so I'm thinking Bama was #2
Boom goes the dominoes!
You've really said it all here.
We want Taz!!
Wooooo!
He took us home. Benjamin Hall has got next!
Barry Larkin is still crushing it!
Little Bill Daggett apparently hates Nebraska.

And this is about two-way players in general:

Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska.
The pitching looks much better, and they're still hitting. Tracy Smith is getting it done!

Michigan beating OSU at the 'Shoe--truly, that is the Best of Ohio.

You've got this down to a science.
NO.
