Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Anyone can compile 10 of anything. I would rather listen to my actual washing machine than anything on that list.

There have got to be some killer fridge songs.

I loathe the little git Coghlan, but that move is brilliant.

What have you got against Coghlan?

That he did it to Molina makes it so, so sweet.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:01pm
Doug Schulkind:

@UM
I agree on the de-pantsing of Molina. But Coghlan has injured at least two players on teams I root for. His takeout slide on the Pirates' Jung Ho Kang was vicious and deserved suspension.

That slide was legal under the old rule...but of course, led directly to the rules change. And Kang may end up in jail...so to hell with him.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:07pm
Little Danny:

Oh man I love this Spot Barnett so much
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:07pm
Doug Schulkind:

Forget rules, it was a dirty slide with intent to injure. If you see it any other way, you're blinded and delusional.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Little Danny:

Wow! That Patti Page!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
Uncle Michael:

No, I'm not. The rule needed to be changed. It was absolutely a legal slide...and dangerous as hell...and baseball is well rid of the take-out slide. There was no intent to injure. There as intent to disrupt the play, injury be damned. Baseball has corrected this rule. There was nothing unusual about that slide. There was no basis for suspension. He wasn't even ejected. Because it was the precise way millions of baserunners have broken up the double play...and it was legal.
