Bay Apparently Not Going Anywhere

Maddonbearlo3_tiny by R.J. Anderson on

With the 4 p.m. ET Trade Deadline past, a baseball source in Tampa Bay confirmed that no deal was struck between the Rays and Pirates to send Jason Bay to Tampa Bay in exchange for prospects.
While there remains the possibility that another team could have snuck in an offer before 4 p.m., it appears right now that Bay is staying in Pittsburgh. No other substantial offers were known to be on the table.

Thank you Bill Chastain for the ultimate case of baseball blue balls.

If they go that route

May as well throw him in the deal to give him a chance to play. Better than te chance another contender picks him up.

bye bye Floyd or Gomes

and bye bye to the other when Baldelli comes up. this works out perfectly. Baldelli can DH most of the time, and spell any of the outfielders on days off if he’s up to it.

Are you as big a Who fan as I am?

That’s their last great song, but man it’s a doozy. I figure people don’t know “Eminence Front” without being major Who fans.

Second SIDE or second DISC?

Because side 2 has “The Dirty Jobs” and “Is It In My Head,” which are about as weak as the album gets. Disc 2, however, is pretty freakin’ flawless, what with “5.15,” “Drowned,” “Doctor Jimmy,” “Bell Boy,” “Love Reign O’er Me,” and MOST ESPECIALLY OF ALL “The Rock,” which sums up every beautiful thing ever about Pete Townshend’s melodic genius and the band’s awesomeness as a performing ensemble.

It may be the greatest Who song ever that you will never ever find on a "best of" compilation

Though “Our Love Was,” “So Sad About Us,” “I Can’t Reach You,” “Go To The Mirror!” and “Dreaming From The Waist” all run it close.

GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME.

Seriously. I have bought 5000+ CDs at this point, and know pretty much everything about every artistically major musician (whether popular or super-obscure) from 1963-1991…and Quadrophenia remains, for me, the greatest album ever made.

by esoteric on Jul 31, 2008 3:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Could well be. Is your ranking of Who albums as follows?

1.) Quadrophenia
2.) The Who Sell Out
3.) Live At Leeds
4.) Who’s Next
5.) Tommy
6.) it all gets mixed up here, but maybe The Who By Numbers is better than My Generation or Who Are You.
7.) A Quick One sucks except for “Boris The Spider” and “So Sad About Us.” The title track would only become great in live performance, and it’s lame on the album.

I love all my children equally.

But Quad- is marginally better than Tommy, and those are the two best.

I'm a musician first of all so I'm biased.

1) Leeds – Makes me want to throw bricks through windows
2) Quad
3) Who by Numbers
4) Tommy
5) Who’s Next
6) Sell Out
7) Who Are You
8) Meaty BBB

It’s too hard to rank them. They’re all VERY different. I love all of PT’s solo work as well. Chinese Eyes and White City are GREAT!

by EminenceFront on Jul 31, 2008 3:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm also a musician, but my instruments are (in order of quality) vocal, piano, and then guitar

So I have trouble identifying in that sense with The Who (in the “I want to play what these dudes are playing” way), with the exception of Townshend’s voice, which I adore in all its reedy sincerity. Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is a much closer match for me, since my voice is a dead ringer for his and he’s also a rhythm guitar/piano guy whose parts I can all play easily.

I’ve played piano for about 15 years. Guitar for about 5.

I'm glad you rate Who by Numbers higher...

It’s scientifically incorrect to place it anywhere but top five.

Eh, let's see, what does it have?

“Slip Kid,” “However Much I Booze,” “Dreaming From The Waist,” “Imagine A Man,” and maybe “Success Story.” The rest are forgettable, and I fucking hate “Squeeze Box.”

I'd take Empty Glass over Chinese Eyes and I really don't care for White City

Chinese Eyes has two of his greatest solo songs in “The Sea Refuses No River” and especially “Slit Skirts” (my favorite Townshend solo song) though.
