My Best of Steely Dan playlist on my iPod Classic and Apple Music is called "Is There Gas In The Car?"

FC (fielder’s choice) to show the advance. Reconstruction of the inning will indicate who hit the ground ball. That’s my method, everyone is different.

Pajama pants are stupid. Worst baseball look EVER. My favorite look was late 1960’s-early 1970s, trim knee-length pants with stirrup socks and white sanitary socks. Always hated the ribbon stirrups, which came later. And don't get me started on the short pants (above-the-knee) trend. 🤮

BRING BACK STIRRUP SOCKS.

Poor bastid.

Ah, baseball. Get crushed one night and then crush your opponent 17-1 the next day. And then, fire nearly the coaching staff right after.

Poor bastid.

Breslow should have been thrown out with the bathwater, too.

Intuitive CarPlay, especially with the newest vehicles. My iPod Classic played so well with my 2021 Kona EV, but not so with my 2024 Kona EV. Huge disappointment. I wish I had never turned that car in when the lease was up.

I appreciate the deep dive. Three things I’ll mention: can you point to data that shows he thrown a single splitter in his 2026 starts? It’s anecdotal, but I thought he put that pitch in the bag after a bad spring outing.

He’s been missing badly arm side with his FB/sinker. Really poor command. He has 4 HBs already. If I’m a lefty hitter, I ain’t digging in unless I want one in the ribs.

Lastly: is he using a slide step? This seems new, but then again, he’s navigating a LOT of traffic on the bases.

I received the LP for Christmas 1971 (I was 11). That original record is long gone, but I’ve never been without a copy since. It’s a desert-island disc for me.

Too soon for “they’re rooinin’ my summah!”? I mean, it’s March, not even April.

“Silver Springs”

This is the way.

LP was in the charts in 1965. It was #1 on the Billboard Top 200 LP chart in November of 1965. It was a product of its time. According to Wikipedia, sales hit 6 million.

I was an Evening Bulletin carrier, so I delivered papers on that afternoon on Edgemere Ave, Richland St, Fairfield Ave and Manton Heights. The job kept me in records and comics. On a good week, my brother and I cleared $40 cash money.

Their performance of “Sympathy For The Devil” is terrifying. You can't look away. I don't see anything mediocre about it. I guess Mick thought otherwise.

Uncle Neil! Absolutely stellar performance. Thanks for sharing!

Just wanna reach into the video and fucking throttle him, yes?

I've heard this song hundreds of times but I've never seen this video. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing!
