I think 81 games would be perfect based on last years play. Of course they would need to be the 81 home games.

All that's missing is hand sanitizer and a pir of gymnast rings

I once had an interesting question asked of me during an interview. The man asked me "What do you see as your biggest leadership weakness"? I said " my brutal honesty". He replied " I don't think honesty is a weakness". I told him "I don't give a flying **** what you think is a weakness". I celebrated 26 years at this job last September.

I ****ing hate you guys! I was gonna break out the Airplane "buttah lay me to the bone Jack me up" but you beat me to it.

Ok ya'll I apologize for hijacking a thread to go over events from 24 years ago. But I didn't want to let pass what I felt was a misrepresentation of Bush 41. I also never addressed the topic of Jeb Bush. To be honest I don't know a great deal about him and his core beliefs. But knowing the family he comes from I will give him a listen if he decides to run.

This is true. However if you will recall Clinton ran on "the worst economy of the last 50 years". And that just wasn't true. Post Vietnam/oil crunch/runaway inflation during Carter was a worse economy. But as you stated these things are cyclical and were not entirely of Carters doing. Clinton ran against a lie was the point I took from his post.
I do believe that Clinton benefitted from policies put in place by previous administrations. He even admitted that the economy was improving before the election. Of course he waited until after the election to say it. And then took credit by saying the people were inspired by his imminent election. Lol spoken like a true politician. I do believe the "Internet economy" was a real phenomenon that created massive amounts of wealth. Even with the Dot.com busts there were billions of dollars of new wealth. Clinton just happened to be in office during the time when home PCs and the Internet became widespread and affordable. (No Al Gore jokes). The influx of Internet money is an anomaly in the 8-10 year rule you mentioned.

Bush 41 fought for our country in WWII as a pilot and was shot down. He swam for three hours until rescued. This shows bravery and perseverance to me.
Bush 41 served as a Congressman from Texas and helped pushed through legislation to allow minorities equal and fair housing. A very unpopular side of the issue in Texas in the 50's and 60's. This shows leadership and a sense of right and wrong.
Bush 41 served as Ambassador to the UN. Among the highest levels for a diplomat in the world.
Bush 41 served as Chairman of the Republican National Commitee. He was recognized for his organizational skills and team building at the state level and tapped for the national Chairmanship.
Bush 41 served as Liaison Officer in China. This was during the times when we had no normalized relationship with China. This was during a very hostile time in our history with China and it is thought that his influence helped with the eventual recognition of China and a normalization of relations. Today this job would be Ambassador.
Bush 41 served as Director of the CIA. His contributions were so well thought of that Bill Clinton dedicated the CIA Headquarters at Langley the George H W Bush Building. This was while Clinton was still in office and before these two became such good friends. Again his team building skills and diplomacy had shown to be of great value.
Bush 41 spent eight years as Vice President to Reagan. He was sent to every hotspot in the world because of his skills at diplomacy and because the leaders of the world trusted him and took him at his word. He also represented our country at every high level state funeral during that time. Reagan sought his counsel on a weekly basis and he helped form policy.
Bush 41 served as President for four years. He built a coalition to go into the Middle East and drive Iraq out of Kuwait. This was a major undertaking as he aligned virtually every Arab country against Iraq and allowed the U.S. to go in and drive them out. Those of us that remember all of this recal Iraq launching dozens of SCUD missiles into Israel daily. Hussein was trying to draw Israel into the conflict which would have destroyed the coalition. No Arab country would take up arms on the same side as Israel. EVER. Bush 41 kept Israel calm and on the sidelines during this whole affair. Thus preserving the coalition.
Bush 41 watched over the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin wall. And he had the guts not to gloat. He used his diplomatic skills again to encourage Gorby and support him on the world stage. All of this without pissing off all of the Soviet hardliners which could have had dire consequences.
History will show that Bush 41 was on the right side of almost every major issue of the last 60 years. He has treated all of this with great humbleness and zero personal fanfare. President Obama honored Bush41 with the Presidential Medal Of Freedom. Bush 41 deserves a lot of credit for his work for the U.S. he is quick to share any credit with staff and everyone else.
Serving as a one term President does not make you a bad President. We were lucky to have a man and leader of his caliber take up a life of public service. And he really seems like a really nice guy.

Jimmie Reese was far from random. Only major leaguer to serve in Spainish American war and room with the Babes luggage

I am deeply saddened to hear this news this morning. My brother and I have both beat our own cancers and have lost our dear mother and older brother. This Cancer has to be beat. And it will be. My earliest memories of Percy is probably the third or fourth time I saw him. I remember thinking "I have seen that hat before". LOL. I remember him from spring training. From his questions to Tim Mead at our tailgate. I have half a memory of Tim asking where he was at our Q&A during BP in Tempe this past spring. Did that happen or did I imagine that? I know I sent him a couple of notes of encouragement during his fight. My heart is aching today as we have lost a friend.
I think we need to have a memorial trophy or plaque In his honor for best question for the round table panel at the AW spring fest. Just a thought. Thoughts?

Of cou
rse we would eat a person. Just wouldn't want to try dog,cat or that monkey brain thing from Indiana jones.

Yes AJ but I don't hate the Angels. Lol. Of course there are some beloved Angels that used. Glaus nd I think fullmer from the 02 team were linked. Damn I think it was fullmer, anyway one of our most beloved players was guilty. Wally Joyner used. I am pretty sure it was after he left the team but he did admit it. Plus none of our players are coddle and fawned over by MLB and the media like Ortiz is. He is a fraud a cheat and gets a pass because having a former senate whip on your board gives you the appearance of legitimacy.

Battle tested is the key. This is a team that went 18 innings against the best team in the NL on the road and won. I think the Giants will win in 5 or 6 games and they will all be very well played. But in the nd we will know the Giants were obviously better. Just a hunch. The Royals very easily could have lost 7 of the 8 games they have played so far. If the Royals offense had been hitting against the royals defense in the Orioles series, they would have been shut out twice. Lol. I am not calling them lucky because they have definitely outplayed their opponents in each round. But the law of averages does tend to even things out. Giants won't lose their cool and will stay loose.

Estrogen=destroyed

Joe buck got on my nerves during the 2002 World Series. He acted the Angels didn't belong on the field. He sure ain't his daddy.

He's ok I guess.

I have some more books to recomend for you. Brad Thor writes spy type political intrigue like Flynn and Baldacci. I have 13 out of 14 that can read. Also Michael Connely is good. Especially Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer series.

theres ice cream and beer, asshole.

I go to the corona locations. Either Ontario and the 15 or Serfas Club and the 91. I used to stop at the store in Barstow but we usually save that for the trip back and go to the del Taco in Barstow. Best del taco ever.

theres ice cream and beer, asshole.

AO, that could be. The time frame is right. And if Guidry pitched the game you went to chances are you were at the same game my dad picked him up from. That means we are practically brothers.
