    Future CF

    The reason I'm not sure whether or not drafting high school pitchers is riskier than drafting college pitchers is because...I haven't seen all the results. Which arms flame out more and when? Why? There are still alot of questions to answer about this stuff. Bringing up risks when talking about...

    Future CF

    I'm sure none of the realistic fans thought the Dbacks would see first place, and I would expect that the realists probably can't imagine them staying there for much longer. Keep in mind, they've played 9 games against the Rockies. Still, it's quite a pleasant surprise, and I hope it can...

    Future CF

    Hi Zenny, Marland Williams will never be a regular big leaguer. Terrero's used his Yu-Gi-Oh card for the last time. Q's obviously a waste. There is no real solution in the Snakes system for CF. Or SS. For all the talent coming up...it's been, horribly misjudged. Jackon's rightful position is...

    Best Guitarists From '64-'74

    Almost to a man, guitar players seem to be incredibly deferential. That said, I've seen many, many guitar players say that no one's even in the same building with Jimi, and I even heard one say that no one's even on the same planet. That's obviously hyperbole, but Jimi has the tone advantage...

    Anyone Like The Blues?

    Using "blues" to describe a genre of music is a little misleading. There are vast differences between the urban blues of Big Bill Broonzy, the Chicago blues of Muddy Waters, and the delta blues of Charley Patton/Son House/Willie Brown, and the differences don't end there. When I first began...

    Best Guitarists From '64-'74

    OK, I went a little over the top. But only a little. The problem I encounter in discussions about Jimi is the whole "psychedelic" pigeon-holing tendency. Jimi produced a lot of material in his short time. Most of it doesn't fit in the psychedelic realm, but in the bluesy, R&B strata. I'm not...

    Best Guitarists From '64-'74

    Anybody not putting Jimi first hasn't paid attention, and this is coming from a guy that thought Hendrix was overrated substantially until he heard the truth in hte form of evidence. Jimi was unbelievable, and I've never heard more head-scratchers from another guitar player. He's just unreal; he...

    Anyone Like The Blues?

    If you've ever listened to Skip James you'll immediately recognize the Skip James influence in Canned Heat. Not musically, so much, but just in the voice that singer uses. Very Skip James. Believe me, I am on familiar ground here. People often don't recognize how insightful I am when it comes...

    I'll say right off that I think Tool's Aenima is a work of genius and one of the best albums ever, right up there with the Sgt, Pepper's, Dark Side of the Moon's, and Pet Sounds' of the world. Stop laughing. There are so many lyrically great songs on that album that I could post, but I'm picking...

    Anyone Like The Blues?

    I'm pretty well-read when it comes to Robert Johnson. I did a fifteen minute presentation on him for my Rock Music and Culture class (I know, but I needed to fill the back end of my schedule and I couldn't resist an A that easy). I did it without notes. I'd made some notes, but I never laid eyes...

    Anyone Like The Blues?

    So that's the Columbia LP King of the Delta Blues Singers that came out in either the 70s or 80s or something like that. Or was it the 90s? I can't remember off the top of my head when the first pressing was released but I'm having a strong feeling it was the 70s. Anyway, those are great...

    Best Instrumentals?

    Thanks for the welcome. I actually found this forum through baseball, which is my primary message board topic of choice. Movies and music I like to talk about as well, but baseball is...religion. About Burton, it's certainly possible that Metallica wouldn't have produced a Load that smelled...

    Anyone Like The Blues?

    Holy Moses!! Which song(s) are they. I'm not that keen on urban blues, prefering the raw country blues of Robert Johnson and Skip James. But when it comes to Chicago blues, there's Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and then...a cliff. That Willie Dixon was a great songwriter. I prefer Wolf (that...

    Best Instrumentals?

    I think that if Metallica instrumentals are brought up then The Call of Ktulu needs to get mentioned. SRV's version of "Little Wing" (off The Sky is Crying) is definitive. That's how you cover a song, Mr. Clapton.

    Unofficial Great Commercials thread

    There was an extremely short-lived Cornuts radiio ad that I was extremely lucky to hear, and I can't imagine how many people have heard it. I think it didn't air more than once or twice in the phx market. "Bust a nut." I bet they didn't see the fuss over that coming...

    Almost any Jack in the Box commercial is hilarious, and the old This Is Sportcenter commercials were great. Two of my all time favorites are outta This Is SC: The Marquis De Sod spot is a true classic. Replacing the carpet with grass? I wish they showed that one more often. The Evander...

    What movie has the cheesiest ending?

    Just to throw a couple of candidates out there Signs The Core The whole under the Earth's crust portion of The Core was just ludicrous, to the point of being merely annoying and not infuriating. I gave a copy of it to my Geology instructor...she had the same reaction. They weren't even...

    Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes?

    You're right, after his performance in Shaft he's a great candidate to star in more Really Bad Movies. Who would I rather see? Personally, I always thought Andy Benes would make a great Batman. In truth, I'd rather they just stop making them.

    Diamondbacks vs Padres series thread

    I saw the play--in fact, I taped the game--and being that the Cards won 6-5, I would think that trusting Yadier to either hit a flyball or grounder to the right side is a better play than putting the squeeze on. Took the Cards out of a potentially huge inning. Up 4-0 there's no reason to try and...

    Diamondbacks vs Padres series thread

    Hello, everybody :wave:. The squeeze play was en vogue yesterday,apparently. The Cards put one on in the 1st against the Braves with one away after having scored 4 runs off Hudson. Molina popped out to Hudson and the runner got doubled off at 3rd. That's 0-2 for the squeeze yesterday, in case...
