    My dad was a field radio guy in the Marines at Iwo Jima. Our of 21,000 Imperial Japanese troops on the island, fewer than 1,000 were captured. I've got a recording of an interview he did after the battle with Chicago radio station WLS on the troop ship headed back to Hawaii -- where he was to train for an invasion of the main islands that A-bombs made unnecessary -- and he described having to shoot and bayonet Japanese soldiers doing Banzai attacks at night. He was 19. I visited Iwo Jima with a couple hundred veterans of the battle on the 60th anniversary in March 2005. (Dad died in 2002.) Met a lot of fine former Marines and sailors and Navy corpsmen and Seabees. Just about all gone now. Gunny Sgt. R. Lee Ermey came along to do an episode of his show about them.

    A big negatory on that.

    Spock rides a little high in the saddle.

    Stop bring up baseball. Oh, and Bartolo Colon wants a word with you.

    I'm afraid we've entered a New Normal era.

    One of life's most important things: Don't trust Whitey's.

    Favorite baseball hed was from the 1960s when Gary Peters pitched for the White Sox. He was injured and missed a turn... "Sox win with Peters out" Not one I would have done. I did win the AP best headline award in 1989 at the Idaho Statesman. Kinda like being the tallest building in Wichita -- big deal.

    SSS.

    We currently have the longest winning streak among teams in the AL Central. So we have that going for us.
  10. Circus Boy
    So true. It can get worse.
  11. Circus Boy
    You make that sound like a bad thing.

    All I got on this game is, the White Sox are having the kind of start I really believed the Twins would be having. Dang.

    The old ski jump on the way to MOA is a hoot. The snow should still be good.

    Even world-class athletes can think like Scarlett O'Hara: "Tomorrow's another day!"

    Fine round the horn, too.
  16. Circus Boy
    He twice led the league in HBPs. So he's got that going for him.

    You mean Justin Upton, no?
  18. Circus Boy
    Wanna bet?

    It's a child's game, after all.

    Be nice to shock the baseball world and play extra baseball in October. We're given only a 5 percent chance to get it done. But as Mr. Nelson points out, the numbers have been against us all year. Play ball!
  21. Circus Boy
    Excellent malaprop. Bravo!
  22. Circus Boy
    Or Joan Rivers. Oh, wait...
  23. Circus Boy
    Hitting, pitching, defense. Time for all those to come together for the last week of the regular season. Heck, just competing to get into the playoffs feels like the playoffs. Can't wait.
  24. Circus Boy
    This team appears to be peaking at precisely the right time, with 20 games to go. Now, more cowbell, please.
  25. Circus Boy
    Bag leaked.
