The format of the new member list is a little cumbersome to use. The alpha list the old format featured was a little easier to use than the current search. Sure, you can search, but if you have the forum handle wrong, the search won't return what you're looking for. The new list is basically...

The Phillies have good broadcasters, on radio, even better because they're not former Yankees or Mets players. I don't read any sports articles, so I can't name one male sports reporter, let alone a female one. Well, maybe Jayson Stark, who wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer, before he went...

I'll also add that my own preference is to listen to the games on the radio. Radio is a much better medium for baseball; in fact, radio and baseball "grew up" together. TV broadcasts irritate me. For one thing, most of the TV broadcasters I see are pretty lousy at calling games, and the radio...

I was going to say that I don't think the LA Dodgers are known for setting attendance records-Brooklyn was another matter altogether. But when I looked up attendance numbers so far for 2024, I see that the Dodgers are in first place The Phillies have been known for setting attendance records...

I missed Monday's game because I looked at their website to check the schedule and I swear it showed no game Monday night. The minor league teams also showed a day off. I listened to last night's game. The Phils won, 6-2, and so, they've won the season series with 4 wins, no matter what...

We've gotten too used to expecting the federal government, and the state governments, to do for us. The turning point was the Great Depression. Prior to that time, there were depressions, but they were brief and we bounced back, generally. But by the 30s, the federal government had already...

Tom, you note that it's the original box, but your photos tantalizingly crop the label. :) Would you be able to post a photo of the entire label? Thanks! Prost! Brad

"A government is a body of people, usually-notably-ungoverned."

You beat me to it. I agree, those individuals are deluded. They suffer a mental disorder. They deserve compassion, as any sick person does. But not indulgence in their illness, and certainly not reordering society to indulge their delusion.

Yeah, I just visited the thread and the last couple of posts loaded successfully. Can you describe in a little more detail what exactly happens when you visit the thread and try to see the latest posts? Are there any error messages displayed anywhere? Prost! Brad

Congratulations!

Not a fan of the Olympics. I'd rather see the games return to the core athletic events, basically the track and field events, swimming, wrestling. Events that showcase basic human physical skill. I have never agreed with seeing team sports like baseball or basketball added, and then to see...

As Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday, "They might as well carry signs that say, 'Chickens for KFC'!"

This didn't happen overnight, neither here nor in the rest of the West. Here, it's just the latest stage of a process that has been underway, at various rates, since the 1890s.

Her resignation was announced this morning. I was surprised. I did not expect her to go while the current occupant of the Oval Office is in place.

Yeah, the same idea is behind the awful "City Connect" uniforms. Every team has a uniform that is supposed to highlight something characteristic of the city. They're dreadful, ugly. But it's one more jersey, one more cap to buy, along with all the other swag teams slap their logo on and sell...

True, you can probably realize more per piece by selling them yourself, but you have to figure in the cost of the process, in time as well as money. It all depends on what the owner wants out of the collection-the most money possible, or to liquidate the collection as quickly as possible. The...

This is a good one, too.... 😀

Using this reference? 😁

I know of no manufacturer who has made a figure of John Brown, whether as a toy soldier or as a connoisseur figure. Prost! Brad
