Off Topic Rain Delay...
My haircuts always end in disaster (or so it seems to me). Does anyone have any suggestions on haircuts or styles? Pictures I can bring into my barber? What I should or shouldn't tell him?
would like visual evidence
of purported disasters (so we can mercilessly mock you).

My suggestion is...
...quit looking in the mirror so much. You probably spend way more time obsessing about this issue than anyone else does.
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
DIY
I bought a Wahl hair buzzer and cut my hair myself for the 1st time, oh, about 14 years ago. Haven't paid for a haircut since. Advantages:
1) I can cut my hair whenever I want.
2) I don't need to make an appointment.
3) The whole process takes about 15 minutes.
4) In 14 years I've probably spent about $150 total on hair cutters, as opposed to hundreds or even thousands on haircuts.
5) An added sense of self-sufficiency. You're an adult, goddammit -- why do you need someone taking care of your personal hygiene like some pampered 18th-century aristocrat?
Disadvantages:
1) You have to like a simple haircut. Mine is just 1/4 inch buzz all around -- no fades, nothing fancy.
2) It takes a little while to get used to doing the back with 2 mirrors. Mistakes can, occasionally, happen.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I bought a $9 buzzer and have used it on myself 5 times.
Same advantages and disadvantages, except I have the fiancee finish the back. Takes me a little more time, but saves the $ and it doesn't matter up here in Humboldt.

"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
I believe Finley hired a local K.C. broadcaster
to join the radio team for the last couple of weeks of one season, around 1963 or 1964. She was the first woman ever to participate in a baseball broadcast. Would have to dig a bit to find her name.
Thank goodness for Wiki
On September 16, 1964, Betty Caywood, previously a television weather analyst, was hired by owner Finley to join the broadcasting crew, becoming the first female play-by-play broadcaster in major league baseball. She finished out the 1964 season, but did not return in 1965.

I would say he owns him
Geez poor Giants
When the 8th hitter got a hit, they sent the runner from 2nd to try to score (Zito on deck) and he was tagged out for 2nd out. The Zito gets a hit, and they send the NEXT runner from second home and HE gets thrown out.
So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one
Was too funny
Kyle Lohse actually retired only one hitter in that inning. Now in the fifth, Durham made ANOTHER error, and right after that Pujols hit a three-run bomb.
The Gnats should improve with Dave Roberts on the DL, but why they keep playing Durham and Aurilla instead of Velez and Ortmeier is beyond belief.
