Open Thread: World Series Game 2

It's a pity party, people. I am stuck at the office. So I don't get to see Pedro resume his Daddyness against the Yankees. I don't get to see the Phillies try to make it two straight at that new and shiny stadium. And I don't get to see Alicia Keys!!

It's official; God hates me.

But hey, I don't want to bring you blessed bloggers down, too. So go ahead and enjoy Game 2 of the World  Series.

And when you speak of me, speak well.

Your lineups (A.J. Burnett for NY, Pedro Martinez for the champions)

Fetish nuns= good

New Orleans post Katrina= a lot more Central American and a lot less Chocolate than it used to be. Since this directly remedies New Orleans third’ biggest problem pre-Katrina (just behind poor flood control and rampant gang violence), which was a total lack of edible Mexican and/or Central American food, I am pleased.

Looking at that slider in the dirt...

I wonder if Burnett prefers Molina because he doesn’t trust Posada to block his slider if it bounces, and he ends up hanging more of them when Posada is behind the plate.

arguably the best one ever out of 43 so far and about 39 I remember.

We played & recorded and ended up doing this gorgeous kind of “In a Silent Way”-ish improvisation, & when I mixed it later that night and played it back thru I cried tears of joy that we had given birth to that on my birthday.

Any birthday featuring tears of joy is pretty good, IMO.

For me, improvisation is the most stimulating way to make music because it lets the rock determine in a substantive way what the sculpture will turn out to be.

I'm ok, not all of the city is a crime ridden heap

mostly, it’s quite nice.

besides, i don’t have my wallet when i run, just my keys. Which would be awkward to lose, I’ll grant you
