Another reason to like the Royals.
After the game Sunday several Royal players went on twitter to invite Royal fans to join them at a bar in the downtown Power District. One of the fans was a cancer patient that Hosmer had invited to hang out with the team the past couple weeks. Hosmer handed him a bottle of champagne to and told him to spray the crowd. Hosmer also bought drinks for the bar for an hour. Baseball is far from dead in KC.



Hosmer spent $3K out of pocket, entire team spent $12K that night

Great gesture by the team to the fans.


You know everything![&:]

What's 4 down and 8 across on the "Periodic Table?"

The period after the bronz age.

Wrong. Iron.

From Wikipedia
The Iron Age is the period generally occurring after the Bronze Age, marked by the prevalent use of iron.



Good source....[&o][&:]

It's where I found out about Bubafett.


Pretty popular character from one of the biggest pop culture iconic movie series of all time, and you had to look him up?

Seriously?

THOSE movies (the two with Boba Fett) are both 1980 and later.

What the hell is wrong with it?

Only pseudo intellectuals think it, Wikipedia, is filled with errors.

Truth is, every source, no matter how reliable, has errors. Encyclopedias have errors. Primary literature, peer reviewed has errors.

I have found over the years that the chemistry entries in Wikipedia are very very reliable.

But people who think they are smarter than the rest of us denigrate Wikipedia as a source of information.

The song Sink the Bismark came after the movie....the movie inspired the creation of the song.

What other famous song was written after the movie appeared......movie inspired the song's creation

hint: This one is a famous western

Gunsmoke.

The man who shot Liberty Valence

And yes, I have to look up the periodic table. I don't have it memorized.

That's good. It's a made up thing. But whoever wrote the periodic table is probably a very rich man or woman.

To be honest, I love Wikipedia.

But I don't trust the information that much because anybody can get into nearly any entry and edit it.

So that effects reliability of the source.

I had heard that Gene Pitney was hired to do theme the song for the movie but they decided not to use it as the song's style didn't seem to fit too well as the movie was more old school western.

Many people take Gene Pitney's recording of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" to be the theme song from the movie but, as Gene himself reports: "The song `Liberty Valance' was written for the movie but for some strange reason never was put in the sound track. Because of the prior success with `Town Without Pity,' I was paid a bundle to record the song, and Burt Bacharach produced it. He wrote the song with Hal David. There was some screw-up between the publishing company Famous Music, and the parent company, Paramount Pictures, as to why it never was in the actual film[...] The most bizarre part of the story I found out a few years ago. The actual music used in the film was from a 1938 Henry Fonda film called Young Mr. Lincoln (1939). Go figure that out!"

That is pretty cool Kerry........so the movie did inspire the song but it was composed along side with the movie. I knew it had come out after the movie.....didn't know it was prepared alongside the movie.

On another note: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.............favorite western of all time (at least mine)

This time, right between the eyes.


Floyd: It's Liberty! He - he's hurt!
[Doc approaches Valance's body]
Floyd: It's Liberty.
Doc Willoughby: Whiskey, quick.
Person on street: Here, sir.
Doc Willoughby: [takes a drink, turns Valances body over with his foot] Dead.
[walks off]

I think it was the first film in which a John Wayne movie character refers to another character in the film as "pilgrim."

My favorite western also - tons of "famous" character actors.. Should have been made 20 years earlier though as both Wayne and Stewart were way older than the characters they played.

Lots of opportunities for younger arms, if they could ever stay healthy. Read through mlb trade rumors. guys that have bounced around 5-more teams still are landing gigs/losing gigs/landing pitching gigs, because depth is so thin in baseball.

Another reason to like the Royals.
After the game Sunday several Royal players went on twitter to invite Royal fans to join them at a bar in the downtown Power District. One of the fans was a cancer patient that Hosmer had invited to hang out with the team the past couple weeks. Hosmer handed him a bottle of champagne to and told him to spray the crowd. Hosmer also bought drinks for the bar for an hour. Baseball is far from dead in KC.



Hosmer spent $3K out of pocket, entire team spent $12K that night

Great gesture by the team to the fans.

Even Hardy made errors.

I'm not that way. I always wanted Hardy. Just my attempt at humor.

SMF bailed on his Hardy avatar when the magnifying glass turned to Baltimore. Maybe he sensed the O's and Hardy can't handle it? Go Royals!



ewen21 -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/8/2014 11:37:54 PM)

I know TRex is a popular moniker for or GM. How about Terry Raydon?

An old gas bag, inert, unreactive.

Does it make any sense Miles?



ewen21 -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/8/2014 11:42:06 PM)

It's not a good idea to rebuild when Raydon is present



ewen21 -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/8/2014 11:42:38 PM)

We need a Raydon resistant manager and Raydon resistant players

So let's get rid of the source of the problem
