Rangers Cuban Missile Martin is a star. Super effort with just one game removed what have been serious incident with minor sprain. Get him a translator for interviews & I will volunteer. Lots of baseball knowledge in there.

Maybe its because I grew up in the 50s and 60s that I don't find "Cuban Missile" as a cute a name as others.

That was back when Presidents would actually make a decision without consulting polls.

I remember ever so well. Nothing cute about that at all. Scary time in history.

ya know, it was a day when we did what we did, because this is what we thought we were suppose to do. Worked hard, believed in our "government" and stormed up the mound to prove it. All this "instantaneous information" is too much sometimes. It seems to me, it makes everyone over-react.

:agree: :agree: And quite honestly, until many years later, I really didn't know how close we were to the end of the world. Scary indeed. Maybe even understated response.

Actually there is more effort put into not making a decision for fear of being wrong or judged after the fact ... so not making a decision at all (or voting Present) are less dangerous.

Sorry ... comes from getting shot at by bad guys. Sent there by leaders who were more worried about how they might be judged after ... than winning. Wow am I OT.

With Feliz, Kirkman (yes him), Font, Lindblom coming up next week it will be very nice.
I'm glad to hear that Kirkman is dealing with his cancer, and that he is well enough to resume his career....

I don't want him anywhere near this team....I prefer we give him away...he can become the next Verlander on some other team....

On ESPN MLB main page ... 13 stories ... no mention that TEX is now tied with BOS to lead the AL.

Would probably have upset their BOS market core.

I just re-watched Dr. Strangelove today. Pretty good timing.

Dr Strangelove and Blazing Saddles should be required viewing on everyone's 13th birthday. Then have a symposium on their merits.
