wait, why is the plural of zeugma zeugmata
or am I misunderstanding?
standard Greek pattern, preserved in some English words.
Notably stigmata. But in Greek it’s enigmata, dogmata, etc.
You sometimes see melismata in academic music writing.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
One doesn't often have an opportunity to use the plural.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
ok, I still don't understand this
wouldn’t the plural be zeugmai?
It’s been about ten years since I learned any Greek (though, oddly, I was trying to explain how the spanish use of ojala + subj would have been an optative mood construct in class the other day)
I don't know Greek forms at all,
I just know that’s how it is.

Only Kinks stuff that sounds psychedelic to me
is a couple of songs on Something Else, maybe one song on The Village Green Preservation Society, and a couple of random B-sides and unreleased tracks (e.g., Lavender Hill). They did use a fair amount of harpischord, FWIW (usually played by Nicky Hopkins, about whom Ray wrote a song).

We should tell her that he smokes pot because he isn't allowed
out of the house. And if only they’d let him go to an A’s game tomorrow he wouldn’t act out like that.

why do we keep pinch hitting Nomar?
Just because it’s the only thing he’s physically capable of doing doing mean we should let him do it
I think it's orders from Billy to make him feel useful.

funny to watch the Classic game from 96

ok, what?
why do you bring in Everidge for Barton… and then ask him to bunt??
Everidge was brought in earlier to hit against the left-handed pitcher.

This is a great game.
I love endings like this.

I love at-bats where any pitch
could end the game with a win or with a loss, and then the at-bat drags on for what seems like forever.
That’s good stuff.

I'm not sure what that sound means
but either way, this film is amazing
Who saw the season premiere of Project Runway?
The guest judge was….Lindsay Lohan. And all the designers were excited!
Maybe they were excited that she actually managed to show up.

Could you believe it when she told the eventual loser to take it easy with the whackiness?

Having Everidge bunt = dumb
Very reactive managing by Geren, just because Everidge hit into the DP the other night. Geren got it right that time, wrong this time, IMO.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
very much in agreement, but for different reasons
No matter what happened earlier, Cust will have trouble scoring from second.

Hey, I'll give him credit -- he did the right thing vs. NYY
But geez, go for the walk-off HR while you have the chance, or a single to right 1st & 3rd. Don’t make 1/3 of the outs you have left, on purpose, all so you can count on Nomar and Kennedy.

Chances of Everidge doing something positive against Rodney
are very low.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I could see a single along the right field line, first and third.
I could also see Powell pinch-hitting. Or, you know, Barton still being in to take that AB.

Yeah, I would have left Barton in against the LH earlier on
Barton is one of the positives from this game, IMHO.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I thought it was a bit early to make the L/L move
even if you thought you should yank Barton against a LHP, which I don’t.
