Red Barber and Mel Allen mentored Scooter. That’s my first memory of Yankee baseball. Joe Garagiola, Tom Seaver and Bobby Murcer were up there too. Also just remembered Syracuse’s own Dave Cohen had a stint. Jim Kaat was outwardly hostile towards him. Thinking about it the best color guys were...
Finished 3BP. Left me a little cold. I hear the 30 episode Chinese series is better and much more faithful to the trilogy. Also hear that Netflix hasn’t greenlighted the second season yet due to the cost of production.
Cautiously optimistic on Rodon. That’s 3 good starts in a row for him. Cortes had that rough first inning against the Astros in the opener but has looked pretty good since.
Nice start to the season. Way better than my expectations given the questions about the starting rotation. Big week coming up with Cole starting his throwing exercises. If all goes well he could be back in 6 weeks or so.
So why bother affiliating with colleges? Just run it as a minor league for the NFL. Oh wait. They need the college fan bases or who would be interested enough to watch.
My wife and I started One Day on Netflix. It follows the relationship between a man and a woman over a 20 year span focusing on one day (July 15) of each year beginning when they are both graduating college. We are about half way through and have found it very engrossing. The story has a Richard...
Auggies is great. Good move on their part to move off Rt 50 and into the village. And I like the Whistling Tea Kettle as well. Funny you should mention the communities along Rt 4. A few weeks ago I was in Greenwich and crossed the river at Schuylerville and drove south down Rt 4. I was struck by...
I’m half way through. Definitely entertaining. Somewhat of a mash up of Fargo, Breaking Bad (Giancarlo Esposito is meth kingpin - who knew?), Ozark, Pulp Fiction and Peaky Blinders with a little Trainspotting thrown in for good measure.
Am I misremembering or was WAER in a Quonset hut on the quad near Carnegie before they moved to Ostrum? This was early 70’s. Programming was much looser then and the station was totally student run. My brother in law did a blues show for a while and I used to sit in there with him and whoever...
Kimmel held an important place on Campus when I was an undergrad. Spent some great nights listening to live music at Jab back in the 70’s. James Taylor played there as well as his brother Livingston. David Bromberg. Bonnie Raite. James Brown. Jackson Browne (no relation to James). Even Talking...
Great concept for a Hollywood movie: “6 months ago he was delivering pizzas and now he’s a starting NFL quarterback”.
Leave it to Pizza Hut to get it backwards.
Yes thought so too. I saw this interview with Lee Sung Jin. He originally pitched the show as an anthology with new characters each season but is warming up to the idea of continuing the current story line. Says he has 3 seasons of the current story mapped out...
