Damn. It was 5-3 when I put the phone down. Incredible.

Re: Apple Music top 100

I will take blame for the initial misreading of the rules and leading astray all who followed. But my B would be Bad Company's debut, called Bad Company with the classic song, "Bad Company." It's tough to imagine a stronger debut. Even the songs not named Bad Company are really good. "...

Re: Apple Music top 100

45 Dire Straits, Making Movies I go back and forth over whether this is better than Brothers in Arms. Movies finds Knopfler storytelling powers at their peak with Tunnel of Love and Romeo and Juliet. Skateaway is the best Dire Straits song that doesn't sound like a Dire Straits song. Expresso Love a...

Nice!

Bader has been much better than I anticipated.

Re: Apple Music top 100

From the story: This week, Apple Music unveiled a provocative ranking of the 100 best albums ever made, as determined not by streaming data, record sales or the algorithms that rule our lives, but by a metric of quality that sounds almost radical these days: human judgment. Apple enlisted about 250 ...

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad

I think what they told Scherzer was true. It’s a transition year to see what they have and get the better prospects a year closer.

I know there’s a lot of talk about the upcoming free agency class and that the Mets will go in for Juan Soto. I don’t want to get my heart set on that.

Re: Politics Are Still Loco: 2024

First Trump-Biden debate June 27. Two big wins for Joe- no crowd and they shut off the mic when you're not answering. Those restrictions must annoy Trump, who got outplayed here. Bring your popcorn. Biden's video about the debate was ridiculous. "I hear you are free on Wednesdays?" He's s...

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40

I'm also looking forward to Alvarez coming back. But he had a .652 OPS prior to getting hurt. So it's not like he was providing big production. I do think he will be better than that once he comes back. True, but he's a huge defensive upgrade. I don't know what the OPS is for Omar and Tomas, but Al...

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40

Seems like the big slide started when we lost Alvarez. Adding Senga at the end of the month and then Alvarez next month will make a difference. Megill and Peterson are progressing. The Phillies have the most wins in the MLB right now. Will be nice to play the Marlins - but we can't throw those games...
