Who is Steve?
Shit...My bad ( too late to correct) don't know why I do that (done it before)
We both share the same first name too.

Austin Memorial Park is where Scott's family is buried, so I would think that is the reason and St. John's United Methodist Church is their church.
Scott and Jon Bible as well were Assistant Attorney Generals, so they might have met requirements for being buried at the State Cemetery.
Being with his family and among Billy Disch & Bibb Falk sounds like a very fitting eternal resting place for Steve.

If I ever make it over to Japan a baseball game there would be 2nd on the list.
My parents lived in Okinawa from 87-91 while my dad worked for the DODs school system. He would send me tapes of the games he attended there and in Mainland Japan. He loved going to them. He’s also responsible for the books that I recommended from my previous post.-

That guy will never, ever have to buy dinner in Los Angeles or the entire country of Japan for the rest of his life. I am not certain that the majority of baseball fans understand just how big the sport is in Japan. Every single group of Japanese people I meet here are Dodger fans. I mentioned it a few days ago, but that franchise has an entire nation following it. I am happy for Yamamoto getting the Series MVP. His comments through his interpreter are pretty much what I would expect to hear a Japanese player say. They're just wired differently, but in a good way. Good on the Dodgers for pulling out a most improbable victory when they were dead to rights. I'd also wager that Rojas and Smith won't be paying for anything in LA either after tonight's clutch homers.
16 hours ago, Im_smarter_then_you said:I'm sure there are others, but two good reads about Japanese baseball and their love of the game that I have found and read are "You've Gotta Have Wa" by Robert Whiting and Warren Cromartie's "Slugging it Out in Japan". Cromartie was the first and most prominent player to play in Japan while still in his prime at 30 yrs old. The legendary Sadahuru Oh was his manager while playing for the Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants.

I still can’t believe the 2 point replay. I can’t believe the on-field call either, but mistakes get made. Upon replay, there was no shot that showed the ball breaking the plane. None. Zero evidence it happened. But for some reason the decision was that the official had a better angle than all of the cameras so we have to go with that.
by that definition, it shouldn’t even be reviewable unless you put a camera right where you say it needs to be in order to overturn a call. Otherwise, every camera will have an angle and the SJ will obviously be to the millimeter right down the line to have a better view than all of them.
And pretty sure this was same asshole (official) who missed the PI/holding on what should have a been a TD in the endzone.
SEC needs to fire this crew like they did the crew from the Auburn-GA game. Total BS the way calls went against us in the 2nd half and especially the 4th qtr.

Yes.
I saw that once looking him up on the web. Definite + score there.

So I finally got around to watching The Morning Show. While I know he's done other things, it was bugging me as where else I had seen Billy Crudup (Network Exec Cory Ellison in TMS).
At first I thought he had played the title role in one of the Steve Prefontaine movies, but driving home late last night, Elton's Tiny Dancer came on the radio and of course I thought of the bus scene from Almost Famous. Billy is Russell Hammond, the lead singer of Stillwater.

NSIAP...
Derailing the thread to get back to why this originally came up.
Cliff notes...Source? I don't need or have a source, + he didn't deny it, so there you go.

I’m in favor of a swing-off after the 12th. It’s wildly popular with the Bananas and Manfred has brought it up on some podcasts. Soccer has it right with PKs, there’s almost no comparable amount of stress or intensity in sports. This would give us the baseball version of that. Instead we get viewership numbers tanking inning by inning last night and 2 completely fucked pitching staffs the rest of the series.
Holy shit dude. That IS NOT baseball.

Water cooler talk this A.M., we were discussing the length of the game. I brought up "about 6-8 years ago Texas played Boston College in the regionals and it went 25 innings." I think it ended around 2A.
Nope, that was 2009. IM OLD.
Game ended at just after 1 AM. 7hrs and 3 minutes. This was long before the Disch sold alcohol so I watched the whole game with the LF crowd/ tailgate. We kept calling cabs to go and get us more beer

The thing we circle around is: we know Sark is capable of doing what he did in the 4th quarter all the time if he wants to…but yet he will revert to his default mode. The defensive coordinators he faced as HC at Washington all knew he would not take what a defense gives him. He wants to run what he wants to run like he’s auditioning for something. It’s maddening. When I first learned we had hired sark I read old articles about him in which DC’s he faced offered the harshest criticisms of him about refusing to essentially adapt to the abilities of his offense and to what a defense is giving him. We all know he can do it. But he reverts back to his “I want to run what I want to run with my dudes” default mode.
This... 👆
He's done this since his time in Washington. Drove my friends up there nuts.
I remember thinking on the day he was hired here that maybe the leopard had learned to or was at least willing to change his spots, which unfortunately he hasn't.
Now he drives us nuts.
No doubt this Saturday he'll start out with 12 personnel.

I’m not an MD, but he was definitely concussed.

Definitely concussed. When the play happened, he didn't want to (or couldn't ) get up right away and even when the lineman tried to help him up, he stayed down. Not only did he fall hard onto the turf, but seeing a different angle tonight while watching the news, it really looked like the second MST player that hit him was an elbow/forearm to the base and back of his helmet and not his back.
One of the assistants walking him off the field had a handful of the back of his jersey for stabilization and to keep him upright. I'd be surprised if he clears protocol to play. Probably shouldn't.

I’m still super curious how Neto went from a starter at LG all Spring & Fall, to not seeing any snaps. Surly there is more to that story.

He's either the Conductor of the train (nudge nudge) or the cameraman (Case?) in the corner.
