The Phillies were supposed to win Game 1 last night behind Cole Hamels, and they did. The Rays are supposed to win Game 2 tonight behind James Shields to salvage a split at home. Result pending. My preview is up on SI.com.
1 And I thought, with just one comment so far, it had to be thealarmis!
I imagine the TB bats wake up tonight, but I have no objective evidence to base that on. In any case, a Tampa win evens the Serious and makes it more likely to go the full 7 games, so that's what I'm pulling for.
13 i feel like a moron sitting here counting syllables on my digits! but haiku's are fun! they were having a haiku contest at the local asian noodle house recently. i didn't take part, but that restaurant is frickin' amazing!
OYF - it's funny, the whole 5-7-5 thing is so rhythmic. frank zappa is a major hero of mine. i study the hell outta cross-rhythms. in fact, i'm finishing up my solo percussion cd right now and there are TONS of 5's & 7's in there! : )
most of those rhythms are subdivided as 1-2 1-2-3 or 1-2 1-2 1-2-3
14 Hahahahah!! staying late to hit on the hot blonde is an acceptable excuse for missing the game! can't get enough of Blue Note either!
and nope, am not Japanese, Brooklyn born and bred. (Though been here to long now I can't fathom how anyone could wear their shoes in the house back home..filthy habit)
OYF...2 Jews and a Muslim (me by birth)..sounds like another punchline waiting to happen!
19 i'll tell you the story behind me staying late if i ever get around to emailing you offline...
would you believe the place was playing some college football game? ugh. i guess 'coz it was on espn. i saw the rays go up 1-0, on the bottom line. for some reason, i get yankee am radio here in my car a tiny bit but can't get espn radio at all. i came home just as the safety squeeze made it 4-nuthin'...
yeah, there's definitely a punchline in there! wish sliced bread was around...
24 oh, of course, YES has stuff in 7! so do the beatles and alice in chains, for that matter. 7, more specifically 7/8, is my very favorite time signature. but the "5's" & "7's" i speak of, are a different matter entirely - i'm talking about "cross-rhythms", which is a pretty advanced concept. i adore them! : )
yes, i can attest to that punchline! definitely the way to go, as far as i'm concerned. my brother did well and my mom is happy, so i can follow what i chase...
23 I never heard of Sun Ra until I googled him, but the name brought to mind this scene which always puts a smile on my face.
Yes, I know, golf has nothing to do with jazz. : )

27 it's in 9/8. it's an amazing track. my favorite drummer, steve smith, named his fusion group partially after that track - Vital Information.
cobham rules on that! my old fusion trio is supposed to have a reunion next spring. if so, for the 1st set, we're adding the bass player from my jazz trio and a violinist, and we're re-enacting Inner Mounting Flame, in it's entirety for a live cd/dvd release. i'll let you know if it comes to fruition...
30 have never seen Cobham in concert! only people i'd put ahead of him are Elvin Jones and the too-hastily-departed Tony Williams. Tony played with Miles when he was 16!!
31 i'm from Queens, dude! i moved down here after Grad School, 'coz i got a gig based down here. been here a long time by now though... (12 years).
nope, i don't know either of those bands, sorry. there were some big bands from this area that i had never heard of til i moved here. ie: atlanta rhythm section, mother's finest, the outlaws... reminds me of the Good Rats from Long Island...
wow, BJ grounds into another DP. he'd probably run faster if he got rid of that giant wad of tobacco in his mouth. that shit is just incredibly disgusting. ick!
Now that my work is almost done, I can focus more on what's going on in this game . . .
111419 I stink at haiku, but I guess I'm the resident Catholic tonight, so OYF, if you've got any "two Jews, a Muslim, and a Catholic were in a bar" type jokes, now's the time to break them out! =)
I'm shocked Maddon is leaving Price in. But hey, good for him.
39 Never spent time in a non-catholic school until I taught in one after college. But I've been known to let out a good Oy every now and again. So there ya' go. : )

Boy, Price is something. I'm kinda surprised he's still in there, though. I guess it doesn't hurt that his next two batters (if it goes that far) are lefties. And Howard can't hit lefties, though Utley can.
50 i'm listening right now. i don't think i've ever heard it before. it's a really great tune, man! i played in a group that did a lot of this style, but i'm not familiar with this one, sorry... great feel to it!
54 i'm from far rockaway. i was born there and lived there til i was 8. went to a yeshiva til middle of 3rd grade. then, i moved to right over the border into long island, by JFK. off to penn state for college, then down here to atlanta. it's really great down here! : )

And Cobham is a monster.
When I saw him live, I was just stunned.
Another great band that just disappeared was 'Lighthouse'.
30 have never seen Cobham in concert! only people i'd put ahead of him are Elvin Jones and the too-hastily-departed Tony Williams. Tony played with Miles when he was 16!!
5, 7, 9
would make a cool King Crimson tune! : )
tony played w/ jackie mclean even before miles. i miss him everyday...

Meantime Price gets the two guys who hit lefties really well, and now faces . . . wow, Eric Bruntlett!
That's why I was surprised Maddon left Price in.
