The 80's

were easily the greatest decade I have been a part of to this point. Where do you dig this stuff up from?

Surely

This number spawned live broadcasts of Richard Simmons carving inches and pounds off through agitated jiggling around.

On a separate note, I had almost completely forgot about Solid Gold and the dancers.

Back in the day, Solid Gold got me through puberty.

I remember spending many a Sunday alone in my room polishing the bishop to the Solid Gold dancers.

it’s go time…

by Longhorn on Apr 17, 2009 4:51 PM CDT reply actions

Concerning the Lineup

I know Kinsler gets on base and is fast, but with the kind of power numbers he puts up when do the Rangers consider hitting him in the middle of the order?

613photo

by Black Francis on Apr 17, 2009 5:36 PM CDT up reply actions

I'm guessing they consider other options

when they have better options for the top of the lineup. Part of Kinsler leading off is because Young’s entrenched in the 2 hole and Hamilton/Cruz/Davis should be in the middle of the lineup.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
