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?

of purported disasters (so we can mercilessly mock you).

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.

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.

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.

by Soaker on Apr 11, 2008 7:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

It's really too bad

that Huston didn't get a 1st-pitch strike to end the 8th, and then the A's score like 6 in the 9th so Huston could get a save in a 9-run game throwing 1 pitch to get Casilla a K.*

but I'd settle for just an ordinary win here.

* I always forget -- who get the K in that situation?

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.
